A person cannot limit a personal token to selected tools. * **My account** → **Integrations** → **MCP** offers **Create token**, **Your tokens** and **Connect a client**. * The **Create MCP token** dialog on **My account** → **Integrations** → **MCP** asks for **Name** and **Expiration**.

The menu offers **Claude Code**, **Claude Desktop**, **Cursor**, **Windsurf** and **Codex**. * **Connect a client** on **My account** → **Integrations** → **MCP** shows a token placeholder in the client configuration for the person to replace with the copied token. The **Your MCP token** dialog includes the newly created token in the client configuration. * The Employee and Contractor roles can read their own profile, compensation, benefits and time off through the MCP tools the company has. * The Employee role can read the Employee's own most recent completed paystub through MCP.

MCP clients using a revoked token can no longer connect. * A personal MCP token stops working when it expires or is revoked, or if its owner leaves the company or loses AI chat access. ### Questions people ask * **Can I see my token again?** No. The **Your MCP token** dialog on **My account** → **Integrations** → **MCP** shows the raw token when the token is created. Revoke a lost token and create a replacement. * **Can I ask MCP to submit my time off?** No. MCP reads time off balances, forecasts, requests and holidays; MCP cannot submit a request. * **Can I choose which data areas a personal token reaches?** No. A personal token uses the MCP tools the company has that the person's Every roles allow. * **Can I read my paystub with only the Contractor role?** No. The Contractor role alone does not include MCP paystub access. With the Contractor role, you can read your own compensation through MCP. ### Not covered here * Which MCP tools has Every turned on for your company? Does your account have AI chat access? To ask, email [support@every.io](mailto:support@every.io). * How does your MCP client store its configuration and handle tool-call approval?
