Overview

What Buddy Punch does

Buddy Punch handles time tracking and employee scheduling. This connector reaches an existing account and covers both reading and changing.

Employees, time cards and punches can be viewed; punches created and edited; schedules and shifts managed; and time-off requests reviewed and acted on. The safety design is worth noting, since every tool is annotated as read-only or destructive, so an assistant asks before making a change instead of acting silently on payroll-relevant records. Connecting requires administrator access. Community tier, documentation published.

Who it is for

Administrators managing employee time tracking, shifts and time-off requests.

Tool surface

Credentials are required first, so sixty-one is the listing's count. The publisher notes every tool carries read-only and destructive-action annotations, so changes prompt for confirmation before running.

Availability

Where Buddy Punch is listed

Buddy Punch is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Buddy Punch has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

Claude listing

In the Claude connectors directory

Buddy Punch publishes 61 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 93.1% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile.

The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 49 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 32nd of 462 by tool count.

It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory.

Buddy Punch publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.

Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Buddy Punch is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.

In the publisher's words

How Buddy Punch describes it

Buddy Punch is time tracking and employee scheduling software. This connector lets Claude view employees, time cards, and punches; create and edit punches; manage schedules and shifts; and review and act on PTO/time-off requests — all using your existing Buddy Punch account. Every tool carries read-only and destructive-action annotations so Claude asks before making changes. Connect as an Administrator to get started.
