# Shapes — AI Connector Shapes publishes 34 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/shapes/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Productivity](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/) # Shapes Live HR analytics on headcount, attrition, and pay gaps Listed in Claude · 34 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://mcp.shapes.co) [shapes.co](https://shapes.co) Overview ## What Shapes does Shapes is a people analytics product, and this connector points Claude at a live instance of it. The questions the listing names are ones HR teams answer repeatedly: current headcount, who is at risk of leaving, where compensation gaps sit, and how time off is being used. The access model is the part worth noting. Existing Shapes permissions are described as carrying through into every conversation, so a line manager and an HR director asking the same question do not necessarily get the same answer. Thirty-four tools are published. Setup is described as requiring no engineering work. The listing carries the partner tier and is published by Shapes directly. A Shapes account with HR data already flowing into it is the prerequisite. ### Who it is for People analytics staff and HR business partners working with live workforce data. ### Tool surface The endpoint answers 401 rather than listing its thirty-four tools, consistent with a server that says it carries each user's existing permissions through into every query. Availability ## Where Shapes is listed Shapes is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Shapes 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 Shapes publishes 34 tools to Claude, deeper than 84% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 22 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 79th of 462 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. Shapes 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. Publisher Shapes Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Productivity Endpoint `https://mcp.shapes.co/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://mcp.shapes.co) Published tools 34 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Productivity 79 of 462 Snapshot August 2026 Shapes carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How Shapes describes it > Shapes MCP connects Claude directly to your live HR data.
