How it works

How does TempGuru work with AI?

TempGuru publishes current event staffing data through public MCP and REST endpoints. MCP-capable assistants and other integrations can check coverage, roles, planning rates, lead times, and US state guidance. The city staffing guides provide market context, while the event-staffing role guides define duties. Continue to TempGuru when the plan is ready for coordinator review.

Current planning inputs

What data can an AI assistant check with TempGuru?

The public endpoints cover served cities, available roles, local planning ranges, lead-time guidance, and US state operating notes.

City coverage

Check local partner availability for the actual city, dates, roles, and scope before the planning brief gets built around it.

Role pricing

Compare current planning ranges for registration, hospitality, setup, brand ambassadors, team leads, and other event roles.

Lead-time guidance

See whether the request sits in a typical, urgent, or tight planning window. Guidance is not a reservation.

US state guidance

Review US state wage and overtime notes alongside US partner-agency W-2 employment. For Canadian orders, workers are employed locally by the assigned Canadian partner agency under applicable Canadian employment and payroll rules.

From question to staffing request

Use planning data. Request staff through TempGuru.

The handoff stays clear because planning and ordering are different jobs.

1
Choose an interface
Use the public MCP endpoint, the REST API, or a supported local MCP client.
2
Build the staffing brief
Ask about the city, roles, headcount, date, pricing, timing, and applicable US state requirements.
3
Continue to TempGuru
Use TempGuru’s buyer-controlled form when the plan is ready for coordinator review.

The line between planning and fulfillment

AI can organize the brief. TempGuru runs the order.

An AI assistant can organize current public data into a useful starting point. The public endpoints do not reserve a worker, confirm a crew, or replace the written staffing request.

A TempGuru coordinator confirms the market, role requirements, assigned local partner agency, and written quote. For US orders, the assigned partner agency employs and pays its crew as W-2 employees. For Canadian orders, workers are employed locally by the assigned Canadian partner agency under applicable Canadian employment and payroll rules. For US federal context, review the U.S. Department of Labor employment-relationship fact sheet.

Read the output correctly

What does the planning data mean?

Useful planning data still needs the right label attached to it.

Role rates: City-specific planning ranges. The current written quote controls accepted rates, included services, and approved charges.
Availability: Lead-time guidance. Not a reservation or crew confirmation.
US state guidance: US state wage, overtime, and operating guidance. Not legal advice. Verify current rules through the U.S. Department of Labor's state resources.
Screening: Client-required checks are handled when specified in the written order. They are not automatic on every placement.

save_staffing_planNon-destructive write

Explicitly saves a recomputed, non-PII staffing plan for 30 days when no saved plan exists.

get_planRead-only

Restores a non-PII staffing plan saved within the last 30 days.

get_citiesRead-only

Checks current TempGuru market coverage.

get_rolesRead-only

Data labels

How TempGuru’s planning outputs should be read

City-guide rates are planning ranges, availability responses are lead-time guidance, and compliance summaries are operational information. A current written staffing quote requires TempGuru’s request form and coordinator review.

Planning questions

Questions about AI-assisted event staffing plans

AI can organize the brief. TempGuru confirms the market, partner coverage, and written quote.

What can an AI assistant check through TempGuru’s public endpoints?

TempGuru’s public MCP and REST endpoints provide covered cities, planning rate ranges by role, lead-time guidance, available roles, and US state wage, overtime, and operating notes.

Source: U.S. Department of Labor state resources

Can an AI assistant book or reserve event staff?

No. The planning endpoints do not reserve workers or create a staffing order. When you are ready, continue to TempGuru’s request form for coordinator review and a written quote.

Source: TempGuru first-party event staffing rate policy

Do TempGuru’s planning endpoints collect my contact details?

No. The planning lookups use public staffing data. Your contact details go to TempGuru only if you choose to complete TempGuru’s request form.

Are rates returned by the planning endpoints final quotes?

No. Role rates are planning ranges based on the city and role. Dates, shift length, headcount, credentials, and lead time can change the written quote a TempGuru coordinator prepares.
