Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

SmartHR works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put SmartHR to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of SmartHR, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with SmartHR. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work SmartHR owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need quick, conversational access to human resources data without manual navigation.

  • 01

    HR Managers

    They use the agent to audit payroll accounts or check employee dependents via chat.

  • 02

    Department Leads

    They request lists of active job positions and team members to manage their staff.

  • 03

    Security Teams

    They verify office locations and active employee sublists for physical security audits.

FAQ

Questions SmartHR owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect SmartHR to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your SmartHR credentials, including your Access Token and Subdomain. Once connected, your AI client can immediately use the capabilities.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I access sensitive payroll information?

    Yes, the MCP includes capabilities to query payroll records and employee compensation details securely.

  • 04

    Do I need to stay logged into the SmartHR website?

    No, once the MCP is connected via Vinkius, your AI agent communicates with the SmartHR API directly.

  • 05

    Can I see my employees' dependents?

    Yes, you can use the specific capability designed to list dependents for any given employee.

  • 06

    Is it safe to expose my company's payrolls to the AI?

    Yes. This connector runs entirely on your local machine or trusted enclave natively. No employee data, payload information or generated queries are routed to our servers—your API interactions occur directly from your environment straight to SmartHR's endpoints.

  • 07

    Can the agent calculate average payroll over time automatically?

    Absolutely. Just prompt your agent: 'List all payrolls from Q2, and display the average distribution'. The agent will call the list_payrolls endpoint, retrieve the raw figures, do the mathematical operation independently in context, and present you a very clear table or markdown summary.

  • 08

    How do I look up which internal department an employee works for?

    You don't need to specify the exact capability. You can simply ask: 'What department is crew member [Name] in?'. Your AI will automatically use the list_crews capability and cross reference the results with list_departments to formulate a correct response.
