We're exploring how Model Context Protocol (MCP) could simplify everyday HR workflows.

Instead of building another chatbot, we're thinking about MCP as a bridge between workplace systems and AI assistants.

Some of the workflows we're experimenting with include:

• Retrieving leave balances and holiday calendars

• Creating job openings from natural language prompts

• Pulling employee information securely

• Generating HR documents with company context

• Summarizing performance data for managers

While working on our HR platform, we started mapping how workplace technology has evolved over the past decade. One trend stood out:

The average organization is moving away from isolated HR tools and toward connected workplace ecosystems.

Instead of buying separate solutions for:

• Recruitment

• Onboarding

• Attendance

• Payroll

• Performance

• Employee Engagement

• Collaboration

• Analytics

Over the years of building HR software, we've had countless conversations with HR leaders, founders, and business owners.

We expected discussions to revolve around payroll, leave management, or compliance.

Instead, one topic keeps coming up more than ever before:

Manager effectiveness.
