# Kombo MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Kombo is a unified API for HRIS, ATS, and LMS systems. It lets you manage employees, job openings, and training courses across 50+ platforms through a single interface. Connect your entire HR stack to your AI agent and handle the full employee lifecycle in one conversation. ## Overview - **Category:** human-resources - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_ZXziX5fjo2GxJosNw38MhEDQcfYslVfuqY9B52PA/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** hris, ats, lms, employee-management, hiring-workflow ## Description Kombo connects your entire HR and recruitment stack to any AI agent. Imagine you're trying to figure out which candidates are at the interview stage while also checking who's out on sick leave today. Usually, that means opening three different browser tabs and copy-pasting data between spreadsheets. Kombo changes that by giving your AI agent a direct line to your HRIS, ATS, and LMS tools. You can ask your agent to pull employee records, check job statuses, or see who's finished their mandatory training without ever leaving your chat window. It handles the messy work of translating different system formats into a single, usable flow. By adding this to your setup via the Vinkius catalog, you get a way to manage your whole workforce. You can finally see the big picture without the friction of multiple logins. You can pull a list of legal entities, track a candidate's progress through the hiring pipeline, or update assessment results, all through a natural conversation. You stop hunting for data across different portals and start actually using it to make better decisions for your team. It turns a fragmented stack into a single, coherent interface that your agent understands perfectly. ## Tools ### get_ats_applications Retrieve job applications from your ATS.
