AI assistants

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about your crews

Who’s on site, who’s rostered tomorrow, how many hours did the steelfixers do last week? Connect your AI assistant to CrewPresence and ask. An admin decides exactly what it may see and change.

Before you start

An admin creates an API key under Settings > API keys in CrewPresence and ticks the permissions the assistant should have.

Connect an AI assistant

The CrewPresence MCP server lets an AI assistant answer questions like “who’s on site at Barangaroo?” and, if you allow it, roster shifts or approve leave. It only offers the assistant the tools its key has been granted.

  1. Download the CrewPresence extension.
  2. Open it (double-click), or in Claude go to Settings > Extensions > Install extension and choose the file.
  3. Paste your API key when Claude asks for it, then ask Claude about your crews.

What the assistant can do

  • Only what its key allows. Untick a permission or revoke the key and the assistant loses it within a minute.
  • It acts as the admin who created the key, and changes it makes are marked in the audit trail.
  • The key stays on the computer running the assistant. Treat it like a password.

API reference · For developers: every endpoint a key can call, with the permission each needs.
