Tools for your AI Agents to operate Workday
Ask your AI agent "How many active employees do we have in the Engineering department?" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 9 tools connected to real Workday data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.

What authentication method does Workday use?
Workday uses OAuth 2.0 with a registered API Client. You'll need to provide your Client ID, Client Secret, and a Refresh Token — all generated from within your Workday tenant by an administrator.

Absolutely. Use the execute_raas_report tool with your report URL to retrieve any custom Workday report, including those with prompt parameters. Results are returned in JSON format.
