UKG Ready MCP. Manage every HR function from payroll to applicants.

Your agent connects directly to the UKG Ready HCM suite using the MCP Server. This gives you access to manage every step of an employee's journey, from when they apply for a job right up through payroll and time tracking. You can run tools covering applicants, current employees, timesheets, and historical pay data.

When your agent uses applicants, it pulls a list of candidates stored in the UKG Ready Applicant Tracking System. This lets you see who's currently in the pipeline, giving you candidate names and their application status. You can check which job they applied for and when that record was created.

The tool gives you enough data to track the entire hiring funnel.

For current staff, employees pulls detailed records for every person on payroll. It provides full profiles including employee IDs, department assignments, titles, and manager information. You pull these complete employee details whenever you need a comprehensive view of who works there. This isn't just names; it's the whole profile.

To track hours worked, timesheets lets you view all submitted or approved time entries for any specific staff member. It lists the dates covered, the number of hours logged, and whether those timesheets are pending review or already signed off. If you need to know what someone clocked in last week, this tool provides that exact breakdown.

Finally, payroll handles all historical pay data. You can check past earning breakdowns and deductions over time for any employee. This includes tracking gross earnings and various withholdings. The server allows you to pull detailed records of previous payslips, letting you track how salary structures or deductions have changed year over year.

Because it's connected to the full HCM suite, your agent even handles calculating projected costs, like potential overtime based on existing hours.

The system treats all organizational data—employee profiles, department structures, time entries, and pay history—as one continuous context for your AI client. It doesn't just read static reports; it executes specific functions, like calling timesheets to list pending clock-ins or running payroll to calculate an estimated bonus payout based on current rates.
