Inject real HR data into your code

Stop hardcoding user IDs or department names. Use `list_employees` to fetch current staff lists and `get_employee` to pull specific details into your codebase. Your agent writes logic using verified data instead of placeholders or guesses.

Manage tasks with an MCP Server

Build automation that reacts to hiring workflows. Use `list_onboarding_tasks` to trigger secondary scripts once a new hire completes their initial paperwork. This MCP Server provides the hooks you need to bridge HR events with your technical infrastructure.

Standardize role auditing in Cursor

Fetch official job titles and locations to validate your application logic. Use `list_job_titles` and `list_locations` to ensure your code matches the company's official taxonomy. It keeps your data models in sync with reality without manual updates.

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Sapling (Kallidus) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
