Common questions about connecting and running ShiftZap Restaurant Scheduling.
What can I do with the ShiftZap MCP server?
You can manage employee schedules, submit and track time-off requests, view tips data, and access payroll information—all via natural language prompts in your chat. It connects to ShiftZap's API using your API key.
How do I set up the ShiftZap MCP server?
Install it with `npx @shiftzap/mcp-server@1.0.1`, then set the `SHIFTZAP_API_KEY` environment variable with your ShiftZap API key (starts with `szk_live_`). The server communicates via stdio.
Where do I get my ShiftZap API key?
Your API key is provided by ShiftZap when you set up your account. It begins with the prefix `szk_live_` and should be kept secure as an environment variable.
Can I use this server to automate payroll and scheduling workflows?
Yes. By connecting this MCP server to your chat or application, you can query schedules, time-off, and payroll data programmatically, enabling custom automation and reporting workflows.
What happens if my API key is invalid or expired?
The server will fail to authenticate with ShiftZap's API. Verify your `SHIFTZAP_API_KEY` environment variable is set correctly and starts with `szk_live_`, then restart the server.
