Bizneo API and MCP server

Bizneo's API cannot approve or reject absences or remote work requests, and it comes as an add-on. Sign in to Bizneo once in your own Cloud Browser, and your AI agent does the work there for you. The same tools work over MCP for agents and as a REST API for scripts.

Bizneo has no API for this. So we run one for you.

How do I connect Bizneo to Claude, ChatGPT or my code?

AI agents connect over MCP, scripts call the REST API. Both reach the same 12 tools with one API key.

For AI agents: MCP

Add Cotlet to your agent once. Bizneo and every other app you connect show up as its tools.

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
  https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor
    {
  "mcpServers": {

      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cotlet]
url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

For scripts: REST API

Every tool is an endpoint under /api/v1/bizneo with its own method and path, such as POST /api/v1/bizneo/absence/request, with the same API key. Our open-source repo has ready scripts to start from.

REST API docs

What can the Bizneo API and MCP server do?

12 tools on your own Bizneo account. Agents call them as operations of the MCP tools bizneo_read and bizneo_write; scripts call each one at its own REST endpoint, with the same inputs and answers.

Questions

Does Bizneo have an API?

Yes, Bizneo has a documented REST API, HCM API v1 (checked 22 Oct 2026). It needs a token created in the app, and Bizneo says its API is available as an add-on. The API can request, list and delete absences and log time, but it has no endpoint to approve or reject an absence or a remote work request, and Bizneo has no official MCP server.

How do I get access?

Sign up free, open Bizneo under Integrations in the console and press Request access. Your free trial starts with your account, no card needed.

Is the MCP server different from the API?

No, only the way in. Cotlet builds each integration as a REST API and puts an MCP server on top, so both have the same 12 tools, the same inputs and answers, one API key and one price. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use MCP; scripts, cron jobs and HTTP steps in n8n, Make or Zapier use the REST API.

What is the Cloud Browser?

Your own Chrome that Cotlet runs for you in the EU, around the clock. You open it from the console, sign in to Bizneo yourself and press Enable for agents. Your agent's calls go through it, from its IP with its cookies, so Bizneo sees the browser you signed in with. Password saving is off and the profile is stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

Can my agent act without asking me?

Not on anything that reaches other people: request_absence, cancel_absence_request, approve_absence_request, reject_absence_request, request_remote_work, decide_remote_work_request wait for your OK by default. You can switch that off per tool for scheduled runs.

Do I need the Bizneo API add-on?

No. Cotlet works in your signed-in Bizneo account and does not use the API. Bizneo says its API is available as an add-on and that it gives you the key, so the official route needs a quote first.

Which Bizneo role does the account need?

An employee account can request absences and remote work and read its own balance and timetable. Approving needs an account that Bizneo lets decide the request: approvers are set per absence type, and remote work requests are handled by the time manager or the time module admin. A call your role does not allow fails with a message saying so.

Can it clock me in and out?

No. Clocking stays in the Bizneo app, kiosk or web clock. request_remote_work only asks for approval, and Bizneo says an approved remote work request makes it possible, but you still register it when you clock in.

Should I use a Bizneo MCP server from GitHub instead?

Pick one if you want the code on your own computer and do not mind the upkeep: you install it, sign it in and fix it when Bizneo changes. Pick Cotlet if you want it hosted and kept working for you.

Can I use it in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 in n8n's MCP Client node, or call the REST endpoints from an HTTP step in Make or Zapier.

Who runs Cotlet?

Cotlet is run by Take Group, a Polish software company working since 2019. Take Group runs about 3,200 websites on its own systems and has its own DevOps team for infrastructure security. We built and used integrations like this inside the company for years before opening them as Cotlet.

Is Cotlet affiliated with Bizneo?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Bizneo.
