CleverControl AI Integration with MCP

Your CleverControl data. Now you can simply ask.

Instead of opening several reports and comparing numbers manually, ask your AI assistant what you want to know.

You ask:

“Compare the last 7 full days with the previous 7 days. Show the changes in hours and percentages.”

AI can help you:

Summarize:

Get a quick overview of activity for a selected period.

Compare:

Compare weeks, days, or selected computers and identify changes.

Explore:

Review working time, activity, application usage, and daily trends.

Go deeper:

Continue the analysis with follow-up questions without starting another report.

From data to answers in seconds

1. Understand the big picture

   Ask: “Use CleverControl and summarize the previous full week for the available computers. Show me a table and three key observations.”

   Get a concise overview without manually reviewing multiple reports.

2. Check working time

   Ask: “How much time was recorded for each computer yesterday? Show active time and idle time separately.”

   Turn working-time statistics into an easy-to-read answer.

3. Discover application usage

   Ask: “Which five applications were used the longest during the last seven full days? Break it down by computer.”

   Quickly understand which applications account for the most recorded time.

4. Compare periods

   Ask: “Compare the last seven full days with the previous seven days for the same computers.”

   See changes in hours and percentages and continue exploring them in the same conversation.

5. Explore activity patterns

   Ask: “Show activity by hour for yesterday. During which hours was activity higher?”

   Use conversational analysis to understand how recorded computer activity changes throughout the day.

6. Review daily trends

   Ask: “Show daily working-time totals for the last seven full days, grouped by computer.”

   Then simply continue:

   • “Only show these two computers.”
   • “Show Monday through Friday only.”
   • “Make it shorter.”
   • “Put it into a table.”

   No special commands or query syntax required.

One question can lead to the next

Traditional reports answer the question they were designed for. An AI conversation lets you continue exploring your data.

• First:

  “Show working time for the previous week.”

• Then:

  “Compare it with the week before.”

• Then:

  “Which computers changed the most?”

• Then:

  “Show only Monday through Friday.”

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that allows compatible AI applications to securely connect to permitted tools and data sources.

With CleverControl MCP, an authorized user can allow a compatible AI application to request permitted workforce analytics from their CleverControl account.

Instead of manually transferring information between reports and AI tools, authorized users can explore permitted data directly through a conversation.

Designed for controlled, transparent access

Read-only means read-only

You stay in control

Transparent third-party AI access

AI supports analysis — people make the decisions

CleverControl MCP helps authorized users explore workforce analytics and prepare summaries, comparisons, and reports.

AI-generated responses are provided as analytical assistance only.

They are not designed to make automated employment decisions or automatically evaluate employee performance.

CleverControl activity metrics describe recorded computer activity and should be interpreted in the appropriate business context.

Important findings and employment-related decisions should be reviewed by an authorized person and, where appropriate, verified against the original CleverControl reports.

First and last recorded computer activity should not be treated as a substitute for official attendance records.
