Map Your Entire Team in Claude Desktop

The `list_people` tool pulls your entire employee directory directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. You get immediate access to names, contact details, and system IDs without switching tabs to the HR portal. When you need to drill down, `get_person` retrieves deep profiles for specific employees. This lets your AI client analyze reporting lines or verify profile details on the fly.

Audit Compensation and Roles via MCP Server

The `list_remuneration` tool exposes salary details and pay structures directly to your Claude Desktop workspace. You can cross-reference these pay rates with role titles by calling `list_positions` in the same session. Running this MCP Server locally means your sensitive compensation data stays inside your secure sandbox. Your agent can instantly flag pay discrepancies or analyze department budgets without exporting CSVs.

Track Skills and Training Progress

The `list_training` tool pulls employee development histories and course completions straight into Claude Desktop. Your agent uses this data to map out who has finished required compliance courses. Combine that with `list_skills` to see exactly which capabilities exist inside your teams. It makes resource planning fast because you are querying live talent data instead of outdated spreadsheets.
