The rate tools are the substance: an all-inclusive W-2 hourly range that already includes workers comp, liability and payroll taxes is the number a buyer can budget against, unlike a bare wage. The boundary is drawn clearly — the plan is built and saved here, but availability and the order itself are confirmed by a person afterwards.
TempGuru's MCP server for temporary event staffing — brand ambassadors, registration, hospitality, ushers, setup and breakdown for conventions, festivals, concerts and brand activations. It turns an event shape into a costed plan against TempGuru's configured market catalog, and hands the buyer a prefilled quote form when they are ready.
- plan_staffing — the tool to call first: turns a city, date and roles-with-headcount into a full plan with role-level W-2 rate math, estimated totals, tier-based lead-time guidance and state compliance notes, and may save a 30-day snapshot with a plan_id
- save_staffing_plan and get_plan — explicitly persist a complete plan for 30 days, and restore it later when the buyer returns in a new conversation or on a different client; neither stores personal information
- get_cities and get_roles — the configured market entries by tier, or one city matched, and the roles TempGuru staffs with their descriptions and skill tiers
- check_availability — tier-based lead-time guidance for a date and market; guidance rather than a live inventory check
- get_role_pricing and get_rate_benchmark — the all-inclusive hourly range for a role in a city, covering W-2 pay, workers comp, general liability and payroll taxes, and the rate index by role across 407 measured US and Canadian markets with its methodology
- get_compliance_by_state — minimum wage, overtime rules and state-specific quirks for event work; a summary, not legal advice
- get_policies — published booking and procurement policies: minimum hours, cancellation and rescheduling, no-show backfill, insurance certificates, invoicing and background checks
- request_quote and get_quote_status — resolve a saved plan into a prefilled TempGuru quote form for the buyer to submit, and check whether a reference reached the CRM
Nothing — the endpoint at https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp takes no authentication and no per-client setup. Add it as an HTTP MCP server, or run npx -y tempguru-mcp. A catalog match is not confirmed order coverage: a coordinator confirms the specific order after the buyer submits the form, and the MCP handoff does not create the reference that get_quote_status looks up.
One command — npx -y tempguru-mcp
