Homebase API
Homebase documents a REST API for employees, schedules, shifts, time cards, and wages, but access is gated to the Enterprise plan with no self-serve developer signup. Keys are issued inside an admin account after contacting support. Rate limits, webhooks, and pagination are not publicly documented.
Frequently asked questions
Homebase scores A+ on Supergood's API Report Card. Homebase documents a REST API for employees, schedules, shifts, time cards, and wages, but access is gated to the Enterprise plan with no self-serve developer signup. Keys are issued inside an admin account after contacting support. Rate limits, webhooks, and pagination are not publicly documented.
Homebase has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Open API: self-serve, documented, with SDKs
Homebase is an all-in-one workforce management platform purpose-built for U.S. small businesses with hourly, shift-based teams.
Vertical: Enterprise / HR / ERP - specifically the SMB workforce-management + payroll segment for hourly, shift-based, deskless teams. Building weekly schedules with AI-assisted shift planning based on availability, role eligibility, sales forecast, and labor budget. Publishing schedules and shift changes to staff via mobile push, SMS, or email.
8/10 within SMB shift scheduling.
Yes - Homebase is the system of record for labor and, increasingly, payroll at 150,000+ U.S. small businesses. Data held includes: Employee PII (name, address, SSN, DOB, direct-deposit bank info, I-9/W-4 forms).
~12 years old, founded 2014 in San Francisco. Cloud-native and mobile-first from inception, with iOS, Android, and web clients, AI scheduling assistants, and integrations into modern POS systems and payroll platforms.
Public API is gated to the Enterprise plan; SMB and mid-market accounts on Essentials / Plus / All-in-One cannot self-serve API keys and must negotiate up to Enterprise. Conflicting documentation about which plan unlocks API access (Enterprise-only per support, All-in-One read-only per some review sites), creating sales/buyer confusion.

Common alternatives include When I Work, Deputy, 7shifts, Sling (Toast), Connecteam, HotSchedules (Fourth). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Homebase MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Homebase doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
