TempGuru Event Staffing

tempguru-co/tempguru-mcp

Event staffing meets structured data. This server wraps TempGuru's W-2 workforce catalog across 300+ US and Canadian markets into six MCP tools: lookup cities by tier, query roles and all-in hourly rates (wages plus comp and liability), check lead-time guidance, pull state compliance summaries, and submit quote requests straight to their CRM. No auth, no keys. The pricing tool returns inclusive hourly ranges so agents can budget before humans get involved. Built on Next.js with streamable HTTP, instrumented with anonymized telemetry, and mirrored as a REST API with OpenAPI docs. Reach for it when you need to surface event staffing options, costs, and availability windows inside agent workflows without manual lookups or email threads.
