Security & Control

You Data, You Rules

Modle Context Protocol integration is controlled by Calamari administrator. Turn it on when you're ready, turn it off anytime.

Admin-controlled MCP access

Admins can enable or disable MCP integration at any time from the Calamari settings panel. Full control stays with your organization.

Principle of least privilege

AI tools can only access the specific data needed for a given task — never your entire employee database.

Human-in-the-loop for sensitive actions

Sensitive operations like updating employee records require explicit manager approval. The AI proposes — you decide.

User consent & transparency

Every data access and action is explicitly requested and visible. No background browsing of your HR data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s some information helpful for anyone looking to understand exactly how MCP works!

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an integration layer that allows AI tools and large language models (LLMs) to securely connect with and perform actions in your Calamari HR system using natural language.

‍

Which AI assistants can I use?

MCP is built for flexibility, supporting connections with leading platforms like Claude, Cursor, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. We are continuously expanding our list of supported agents.

How does MCP ensure data security?

Security is fundamental. MCP inherits and respects all of Calamari’s role-based permissions. Data is encrypted in transit, and your AI agents can only access the information they are explicitly authorized to see or manage.

Is this for developers only?

While developers will integrate the MCP server, the benefits are for everyone. MCP makes HR tasks more accessible for your entire team, reducing the burden on HR and empowering employees and managers to self-serve.
