Use the MCP Server for HR data in Cline

The `employees` tool lets you fetch a specific employee profile given their ID. You tell Cline, 'Build me a component that shows this person’s tenure,' and it handles fetching the record. Cline writes the necessary code to call the MCP Server, imports the data into your project structure, and gives you a ready-to-use diff.

Automate payroll reports with Cline

Need a dashboard showing current pay period figures? The `payroll` tool fetches those records. Cline uses this data to build the component, write unit tests against it, and stage the commit for review. It's end-to-end: you state the goal ('Visualize payroll'), and Cline handles the API calls, file creation, and testing.

Structure data with UKG Pro in Cline

The `organizations` tool lists all organizational components. This is crucial for building filters or scoping views that need to respect corporate structure. You can write a prompt like, 'Build the sidebar navigation based on these org units,' and Cline pulls the list from the MCP Server, writing the resulting code directly into your project.
