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

You don't need a client to put Workday 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions Workday owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get the credentials this MCP needs?

    In your Workday tenant (admin role): 1) 'Register API Client for Integrations' → Client ID + Secret, granting Staffing/Talent scopes; 2) 'Manage Refresh Tokens for Integrations' → generate a refresh token for an Integration System User. Refresh tokens do not expire; the MCP converts them to 60-minute Bearer tokens automatically.

  • 02

    How is this different from the existing Workday MCP?

    The published Workday MCP covers workers, payroll, time off and supervisory orgs. This one is the talent angle: the people directory (all persons), direct reports, inbox tasks, Skills Cloud (read + write) and cross-type organizations. no overlapping capabilities.
