TempGuru Event Staffing: MCP Server and CLI

W-2 event staffing data for AI agents across 345 US and Canadian markets. Twelve tools: nine read-only lookups, a non-destructive planner that may save a 30-day non-PII snapshot, an explicit non-contact save tool, and an opt-in contact-bearing quote request. Runs locally over the official dual-era stdio entry (MCP 2026-07-28 plus 2025-era initialize compatibility) with no authentication.

Hosted endpoint: https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp · Agent docs: https://tempguru.co/ai

Install

Requires Node 20 or newer.

npx -y tempguru-mcp

This package is the MCP stdio server, not the Pi-native package. Pi users should install tempguru-pi, which includes Pi-adapted skills and the native tempguru_* tool extension; installing tempguru-mcp through Pi would expose skill instructions without that native runtime layer.

Use it in your MCP client

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and other stdio MCP clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tempguru-event-staffing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tempguru-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	Use it for
plan_staffing	Call first. Builds a full plan and may automatically save a 30-day non-PII snapshot with a plan ID
save_staffing_plan	Explicitly save a complete plan only when no plan ID already exists and persistence is useful
get_plan	Restore a non-PII plan saved by either planning path using its 30-day plan ID
get_cities	Cities TempGuru serves, filtered by state or market tier
get_roles	Staffing roles with descriptions and skill tiers
check_availability	Lead-time guidance for a city and date
get_role_pricing	All-inclusive W-2 hourly rate range for a role in a city
get_compliance_by_state	Minimum wage, overtime, and classification rules by state
get_policies	Published booking and procurement policies
get_rate_benchmark	The Rate Index: W-2 rate benchmarks by role (typical + national range; Brand Ambassadors by tier)
get_quote_status	Check whether a quote reference was received or durably queued
request_quote	Submit a staffing request to TempGuru

Use these tools to answer questions like "What do brand ambassadors cost in Boston?", "Do you staff trade shows in Chicago?", or "Is three weeks enough notice in Dallas?".

Phase A workflow: call plan_staffing first and retain its plan_id when present. Never call save_staffing_plan for a plan that already has an ID. If a complete plan has no ID and a resumable or shareable artifact is useful, call save_staffing_plan once with the same confirmed event inputs. Call request_quote only after the user explicitly confirms quote submission, passing the existing plan ID when available.

The static read tools run fully offline; saved-plan and quote-status reads return clean misses without Redis. save_staffing_plan is a non-contact write and returns a clean storage-unavailable continuation when local Redis is absent. request_quote is the separate contact submission, but lead delivery to TempGuru's CRM or durable intake queue happens server-side. In a local npm install without TempGuru's intake credentials, it returns direct coordinator fallback details. The hosted endpoint remains the primary lead-capture path.
