How to Use the UKG Ready MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can Mastra AI automate complex payroll checks with UKG Ready?

Yes. You can build workflows that automatically check payroll history, and if a payment fails validation, the agent will retry with different parameters until it succeeds.

Q: How does Mastra AI handle applicant data from UKG Ready?

You simply expose the applicants tool. Your workflow can then use that list of candidates to trigger subsequent actions, like sending follow-up emails or creating internal records.

Q: What is the best way to check employee data with UKG Ready using Mastra AI?

You wrap the employees tool in a workflow. This allows you to not only list staff but also immediately pass those IDs into other tools, like checking their timesheets.

Q: If I need to check timesheets data privacy with UKG Ready using Mastra AI, what type of data is exposed?

The timesheets tool exposes structured time records. These include employee IDs, date ranges, and the calculated hours worked.

Handling Payroll Failures

Use the `payroll` tool to check financial history for an employee in UKG Ready. If a payment fails, your workflow can automatically retry the process using different credentials. This is crucial for reliable HR automation. You set up conditional branching so that if one API call drops, it attempts another method.

Managing Employee Records

The `employees` tool lets your agent list staff data from UKG Ready. Mastra AI handles the complex sequence of calling this tool and then passing those IDs to other steps. You can build a multi-step process: first, list all employees; second, check their timesheets.

Processing Time Off Requests

When you trigger the `timesheets` tool, Mastra AI processes the data and checks for discrepancies against UKG Ready records. It can handle retries if the initial time sheet pull fails due to a temporary network blip. It's designed for mission-critical operations that need zero downtime.

Setup guide

Set up UKG Ready MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All UKG Ready tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "ukg-ready-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "ukg-ready-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "UKG Ready Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to UKG Ready tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent UKG Ready transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
