Value statement

Turn natural language into real HR actions by securely connecting supported AI tools (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Copilot Studio) to Bob’s Public API – without building a custom connector.

Functionality and how the integration works

  • An MCP hosted server that your AI agent connects to
  • Authenticates using a Bob API service user token (based on the service user + permissions model)
  • Exposes MCP tools that let agents:
    • Read and update employee data
    • Access time off records
    • Retrieve and manage tasks

Short company description and USP

About this integration

The Bob MCP integration connects Bob to AI tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to securely perform real HR actions in Bob using natural language.

MCP is an open protocol that allows AI tools (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Copilot Studio) to interact with external systems through a standardized, secure interface. Instead of building a custom connector for each AI tool, MCP provides a single, reusable integration layer.

How Bob MCP works

  • Bob provides a hosted MCP server that AI tools connect to directly, removing the need for customers or partners to deploy or manage their own MCP infrastructure.
  • Authenticates using a Bob API service user token (based on the service user + permissions model)
  • The MCP server exposes Bob capabilities as structured MCP tools, allowing AI agents to:
    • Read and update employee data
    • Access and manage time off records
    • Retrieve and manage tasks

By using Bob MCP, organizations can safely connect supported AI tools to Bob, turn natural language into real HR actions, and maintain full control over authentication, permissions, and data access.
