Chain HR data into your agents

Feed employee records directly into your reasoning chains. When you need to verify a status, the agent triggers `get_employee` to pull compensation and role history, passing that data immediately to the next node in your workflow. This removes the need for manual lookups. You define the sequence once, and your chain handles the logic of checking specific attributes against your business rules.

Audit team structures with Sapling (Kallidus)

Map your entire organization by querying `list_departments` and `list_teams`. These tools provide the raw data required to build dynamic filters for your agent's decision-making process. Your agent uses this structure to route requests correctly. It identifies the right department head or team lead by cross-referencing your internal hierarchy with live Sapling (Kallidus) data.

Automate onboarding and offboarding

Trigger status checks using `list_onboarding_tasks` and `list_offboarding_tasks` to keep your systems in sync. These tools allow your agent to track progress on critical personnel transitions without human intervention. By including these in your LangChain pipeline, you ensure that security and provisioning tasks happen exactly when they should. The agent monitors the task list and acts on every update it finds.

Setup guide

Set up Sapling (Kallidus) MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Sapling (Kallidus) tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "sapling-kallidus-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Sapling (Kallidus) transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
