HiBob has always been central to how we manage our people. But there was always a wall. HR moments lived in HR workflows. Management happened somewhere else.. HiBob’s Slackbot HCM tears that wall down. Now people data flows into every interaction, every decision, every day — not just when someone opens an HR tool. For a company like ours, that’s a meaningful leap.

Frequently asked questions
The HiBob MCP Server is a hosted connector that lets supported AI tools work with live, permissioned people data from Bob. Employees ask in natural language; Bob checks their existing permissions, then returns answers or runs supported HR actions — without copying your full Bob database into the AI tool.
HiBob MCP currently supports ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Cursor. An admin adds the HiBob connector in the AI tool; each employee then signs in with their own Bob account.
Each person connects with their own Bob login. For every request, Bob authenticates the signed-in employee and applies that person’s current Bob permissions — no more, no less. If someone’s access changes or they leave the company, those permissions are enforced immediately.
Bob permissions remain the source of truth: if someone can’t see or do it in Bob, they can’t see or do it through MCP. Some AI tools also let admins block specific tools or require extra confirmation before writes. Turning MCP on in Bob makes it available company-wide; use your AI tool’s admin settings if you need to limit who can use the connector.
Capabilities depend on what’s enabled in your company and what each employee is allowed to do in Bob. At a high level, that can include people data and org context, time off, tasks and approvals, and — where the module is on and permitted — areas such as attendance, performance, goals, learning, hiring, and compensation. Both read and write actions are supported where Bob already allows them.
Yes. Each employee signs in with their own Bob account. Two people can ask the same question and see different results, because each session is scoped to that person’s permissions.
Admins enable Bob MCP in Bob. IT adds the HiBob connector in a supported AI tool. Each employee then opens the connector and signs in with their Bob account. After that, they can use HiBob from chat, with Bob governing every request.
Try prompts like: “What Bob MCP capabilities do I have access to?”, “Who on the Engineering team is out next week?”, “What open tasks are assigned to me?”, or “List name, title, department, and manager for everyone in Product who is currently active.” Responses are generated by the AI tool, so people should review them before acting.
