Breathe HR for AI agents

Breathe HR is cloud-based HR software that small and mid-sized businesses use to manage employee records, absences, leave requests, and performance reviews in one place. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Breathe HR.

01

Read-only pull of an employee's profile, absences, and benefits before processing a request for them.

02

Approve a leave request

Approve a submitted leave request after the user confirms the dates and remaining allowance.

03

Require approval before deleting an expense

Treat deleting an employee expense or training course as destructive since it removes their record.

Every Breathe HR action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Breathe HR connects.

Users add their Breathe HR api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Breathe HR connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Breathe HR and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Breathe HR with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Breathe HR to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Breathe HR actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Breathe HR?

Users add their Breathe HR api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Breathe HR actions can my agent take?

50 in total: 38 read, 10 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Employee”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Breathe HR?

Yes. Actions like “delete Employee Expense” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Breathe HR too?

Yes. The same Breathe HR connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
