What you can do with this MCP connector
You've got a dedicated People Ops Specialist right in your AI agent. This server connects your HiBob HR system, letting your agent handle all the employee data, time off, tasks, and payroll stuff using just conversation. You'll stop exporting spreadsheets and start getting things done.
To find and read employee records, you can search_employees using filters to pull up specific employee profiles, and you can also list_public_profiles to get basic contact info for all active employees. Need the deep dive? You can get_employee_compensation to pull up detailed salary and benefit info for any employee.
Managing time off and tracking people is simple. You can get_leave_balance to check what PTO an employee's got left, get_whos_out to list who's on leave for a specific date range, and you can submit a new request using request_time_off by specifying the policy type, start date, and end date.
Handling HR workflows and tasks is smooth. You can list_open_tasks to see every pending HR task across the company, and you can mark a specific one as done using complete_task.
View payroll and compensation details by calling get_payroll_history to grab the platform's entire historical payroll records.
For onboarding and keeping organizational data current, you can invite_employee to send a welcome invitation to a new hire, and you can list_company_settings_lists to see the custom dropdowns and configuration lists used across the HR platform.
How HiBob MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the HiBob server and provide your HiBob Service User API Token.
- 2 Your AI client initiates a request (e.g., 'What is Sarah Chen's leave balance?').
- 3 The server runs the necessary tool (
get_leave_balance) and returns the data, which the AI client formats into a conversational response.
The bottom line is, your AI agent handles the API connection and data formatting for you.

Real-World Use Cases
Checking compliance before a major project launch
A manager needs to know if the core team has enough PTO. They ask their agent, who runs get_whos_out for the next month, then runs get_leave_balance for key team members. The agent returns a summary: 'Mark has 15 days left, but Sarah is out until the 20th.' The manager can then proceed with confidence.
Completing the quarterly audit checklist
The HR Ops team must close out pending tasks. They run list_open_tasks, see a list of 30 items, and then use complete_task on the specific audit items. The system confirms the completion, and the team moves on.
Handling a new hire's first week tasks
A team lead needs to get the new employee (Jane Doe) set up. They ask the agent to run invite_employee and then search_employees to confirm Jane's profile exists. The agent confirms the invitation was sent and provides the full profile details.
Investigating a salary discrepancy
An employee asks about a payout discrepancy. The agent uses get_payroll_history to pull the last three months of pay data, and then uses get_employee_compensation to verify the total benefit package. The agent presents both reports instantly.
The Tradeoffs
Manual data exports
The HR team must log into HiBob, navigate to the payroll section, filter by date range, and manually download a CSV file. This takes 15 minutes per department and requires manual reconciliation.
→
Just ask your agent. The get_payroll_history tool runs the query and sends the data back. No exports, no manual work. It's instant.
Relying on siloed dashboards
A manager needs to check who is out and also needs to see their leave balances. They have to open the 'Time Off' tab, find the employee, and then open the 'Balances' sub-tab. This is two different clicks and two different screens.
→
Ask for everything at once. The agent combines get_whos_out and get_leave_balance into one answer, saving you clicks and time.
Forgetting task status
Someone assumes an HR task was handled because they saw it on their list, but it was never formally marked as complete in the system. The task remains open, creating confusion.
→
Use the list_open_tasks tool first. Then, run complete_task with the specific ID to ensure the system records the change. This is the only way to trust the status.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your core need is querying or modifying structured HR data (e.g., 'What is the leave balance for X?', 'Mark task Y as complete'). It’s ideal for compliance checks, reporting, or initiating records changes. Don't use it if you are building a complex, custom UI that needs to run its own backend logic; the server provides the data, but your client still builds the interface. You don't need a tool that manages multiple unrelated systems (e.g., connecting HiBob to Slack). If you just need a simple data lookup, this server is perfect. If you need to perform complex calculations or combine data sources outside of HiBob, you'll need a different integration.

Available Capabilities
Manually checking employee leave and status is a nightmare.
Today, figuring out who's out or checking an employee's PTO balance means logging into HiBob, clicking the 'Time Off' tab, searching for the person, and then navigating to the 'Balances' view. You might have to repeat this process for a dozen people just to confirm coverage.
With the HiBob MCP Server, you just talk to your agent. You ask, 'Who is out next month and what are their balances?' The agent runs `get_whos_out` and `get_leave_balance` and gives you a single, actionable list. Done.
HiBob MCP Server: Manage leave, payroll, and tasks via natural conversation.
The biggest time sink is the manual reconciliation of HR data. Pulling payroll history, checking task completion, and compiling compensation packages used to require multiple database queries and spreadsheet merges. It was slow and prone to human error.
Now, your agent handles the whole process. It runs `get_payroll_history` or `get_employee_compensation` and feeds the data directly to your conversation. The data is live, structured, and ready to use. No more manual data wrangling.
