Connect UKG Ready MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect UKG Ready to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Get applicant details instantly.
The `applicants` tool pulls a list of job applicants from UKG Ready. Your agent finds exactly who applied and gives you their profile data, so you don't have to manually check the HR portal. You set the goal—like 'find all candidates for the engineering role'—and Cascade handles calling this tool, showing you the names and status of every applicant.
List active employees in UKG Ready.
Need to know who works here? Use the `employees` tool to list all current staff members. It pulls verified employee records straight out of UKG Ready, giving you clean data right where your agent is working. Cascade chains this up: it first gets the full roster via `employees`, then uses that list to target other necessary functions.
Check historical pay and time logs.
The `payroll` tool accesses an employee's complete payroll history. You get a clear breakdown of every payment date and amount, making it easy to audit past compensation records. When you need specific data—say, how much Bob was paid last quarter—Cascade executes `payroll`, presenting the exact figures without needing multiple prompts.
