Connect Claude to Schedule Xpress Using MCP Server
The Celayix MCP Server allows approved AI assistants to securely connect to live Schedule Xpress data. Once configured, managers can ask questions in plain language about schedules, employees, attendance, time off, qualifications, and more, without manually searching through Schedule Xpress.
Examples include:
- Who is scheduled at the Downtown site tomorrow?
- Which employees have certifications expiring soon?
- Who is currently on approved time off?
Access the MCP Server
If the feature has been enabled by Celayix, the MCP option will be available under:
My Account β MCP
Create an MCP Token
To connect your AI assistant, you must first create an MCP token.
- Navigate to My Account β MCP.
- Click Create New Token.
- Enter your Schedule Xpress password.
- Enter a name for the token.
- Copy the generated token.
Important: The token is only shown when it is created. Store it securely, as it is used to authenticate your AI assistant.
