How to Use the KeyPay MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Cascade use KeyPay in Windsurf to audit pay runs?

Cascade reads your active pay runs using listpayruns. It then autonomously fetches deductions and earnings for each run to verify the math. You get a complete audit report without running manual exports.

Q: Can Windsurf handle employee onboarding verification with KeyPay?

Yes. Windsurf chains listemployees and getemployeedetails to verify profile completeness. It flags missing tax or bank details before you process the next payroll.

Q: How do I configure the KeyPay MCP Server inside Windsurf?

Open your Windsurf settings and add the server to your mcpconfig.json file. You can also use the built-in MCP Marketplace for a one-click installation. Once added, Cascade auto-discovers all ten payroll tools.

Q: Can I run parallel payroll checks across multiple businesses?

Yes. The agent uses listbusinesses to find all accounts linked to your token. It then loops through each business to pull active pay runs and employee lists.

Run end-to-end payroll audits and pull leave data autonomously with Windsurf and the KeyPay MCP Server.

Run hands-free payroll audits in Windsurf

The `list_pay_runs` tool pulls your historical pay runs directly into Cascade's context window. Once Windsurf has this list, it does not wait around for your next prompt. It automatically grabs the specific ID and triggers `get_pay_run_details` to check the status of that run. From there, the agent chains calls to `list_pay_run_earnings` and `list_pay_run_deductions` to build a complete ledger. It spots discrepancies between gross pay and deductions without you writing a single line of script.

Map employee records to active pay runs

The `list_employees` tool retrieves your entire workforce directory for any business ID. Cascade uses this data to cross-reference active staff against your payroll entries. It links names to numbers without manual data entry. If a discrepancy pops up, the agent calls `get_employee_details` to verify tax files or bank info. You get a clean, reconciled list of employees and their pay statuses in one go.

Automate leave reconciliation using this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `list_leave_requests` so your agent can track pending and approved time off. Cascade scans these requests and immediately matches them against the current pay period. It flags unapproved leave before it affects the pay run. To wrap up the audit, the agent uses `list_pay_slips` to verify that the final earnings statements match the approved leave. You get a complete reconciliation report without clicking through five different screens.
