Integrations

Plug your AI assistant into ZimQi

ZimQi ships an MCP server and a REST API. Create a key under Integrations & API, paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, and your assistant can help run day-to-day crew work — with the same permissions as the person who made the key.

What is MCP, in plain words?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI apps to call tools on your systems — a bit like giving your assistant a secure remote control, not free rein of your database.

ZimQi’s MCP tools go through the same service layer as Telegram and the web app: plan limits, role checks, and audit. Your assistant can suggest and run the actions your key allows. It does not get a back door.

Example prompts

Things people actually ask once a key is connected:

  • “Import next week’s roster from this spreadsheet.”
  • “Who’s on site at 11 Brighton St right now?”
  • “Show Jack’s hours for the last 2 weeks.”
  • “Add a site called Warehouse B, job number W-204.”
  • “Assign Mia and Sam to the CBD clean for ongoing.”

Approvals stay with a named human in Telegram or the dashboard. The assistant won’t approve timesheets, change billing or silently rewrite someone else’s clock times.

Keys and roles

Every signed-in person can create their own API key. The key carries that person’s role:

  • Owner / supervisor — Full access (same as you): sites, crew, rosters, check-in/out.
  • Bookkeeper / worker — Read only by default.

Owners can see and revoke every key in the company. Everyone else manages only the keys they created. Same site and crew limits as your plan — no extra credits for MCP or REST calls.

Connect in 2 minutes

  1. Sign in to ZimQi (trial is fine).
  2. Open Integrations & API in the sidebar.
  3. Create an API key, copy it once.
  4. In your MCP client, add the ZimQi server URL from that page and paste the bearer API key.
  5. Or use REST: /api/v1 with Authorization: Bearer … — try it in the Swagger docs.

Honest boundaries

We don’t push hours into third-party systems from this page. Download approved hours as a CSV for your bookkeeper (Timesheet export — also called an attendance sheet, attendance register or time card report). No live GPS tracking theatre. No “the AI said yes so it’s paid.” A real person still owns the irreversible steps.
