Illustrative example
The Tugger connector for BambooHR syncs your BambooHR data into Tugger's secure environment, then makes it available to your AI assistant through MCP.
It syncs automatically, so answers stay up to date. Nothing to build. Nothing to maintain. No code.
Got more than BambooHR? Connect Xero, Deputy and 60+ other apps, and ask one question across the lot.
Want the full list? Connect BambooHR and ask your AI what's there.
If it's in BambooHR, you can ask about it.
Type it the way you'd say it. Then keep going. Ask a follow-up, drill into the detail, or bring Xero into the same question.
“How has headcount grown at each location this year?”
“Which types of time off are used most this quarter?”
“How does payroll in Xero compare with BambooHR compensation by department?”
“Which new starters this quarter haven't been added to Slack?”
Ask across BambooHR and the rest of your business in one question.

MCP is how AI assistants connect to business data.
It stands for Model Context Protocol, and it's the standard Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all use. Tugger's MCP is the secure route between your assistant and your BambooHR data. One connection covers every app you've connected to Tugger.
Ask anything.Break nothing.
Because your AI assistant should answer questions about BambooHR, not make changes to it.
Tugger reads from BambooHR. It never writes back. So nothing an assistant does can change, delete or create a record.
Only what you allow.
BambooHR holds more than employees. Staff pay rates. Customer phone numbers. Notes somebody typed three years ago. You decide, category by category, what an AI assistant gets to see.
Illustrative. Anything set to Hidden is withheld inside Tugger before the answer leaves.
Tell Claude what you want to see. It builds the dashboard from your BambooHR data, there and then.
Want it changed? Just say so.
Want it next month? Refresh it.
Same dashboard. Up-to-date numbers. No build project, no waiting on a developer.
Illustrative. Ask for a change and Claude rebuilds it.
Three simple steps.
Sign in to BambooHR and approve access. No code.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini through Tugger's MCP.
Type a question in natural language. Get the answer in seconds.
Don't just take our word for it.
One of our customers wants a monthly evaluation pack built from thousands of Simpro jobs. It used to take a full day. Now our data reaches Claude through Tugger and the pack comes back in ten minutes, exactly how they want it.
With Tugger we are now utilising Claude AI and Cowork to carry out analysis that was never before available to us. This has been a paradigm shift in speed and accuracy of management decision making in our business.
Batch invoicing and reporting used to eat hours of admin time each week, chasing details back and forth between Simpro and our spreadsheets. Now it runs on its own, and because Tugger guides the AI to the right figures, I can trust what comes out.
