Full read-write Claude connector for ADP
Make Claude update worker records and stage payroll in ADP
Stop exporting reports and re-keying figures between spreadsheets and ADP. Claude updates worker details, enters and approves time off, corrects timecards, and stages payroll inputs right inside ADP, with the high-impact actions waiting for your approval.
ADP is one of the most widely used payroll and HR platforms, covering pay runs, tax filing, benefits, time, and worker records. People want Claude to do more than look up a pay stub: to update worker data, manage time off, and prepare payroll inside the system.
What is an ADP MCP server?
A ADP MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes ADP's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can people, time, and pay inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can ADP's current connector do today?
Today, ADP has no general-purpose Claude connector. Its data lives behind partner APIs and role-based access, so most teams are stuck exporting reports and pasting figures into Claude. A custom connector can expose scoped read and write tools, but it must respect each user's existing ADP role and permissions.
What does full read-write ADP access unlock?
Full read-write ADP access lets Claude update a worker's address or status, enter or approve time-off requests, adjust scheduled hours, and stage payroll inputs for review, all inside ADP. The reconciliation and data entry that used to mean spreadsheets and re-keying happen where the worker record already lives.
- Update a worker's profile details such as address, department, or status
- Enter or approve time-off and leave requests for review
- Adjust scheduled hours or correct a timecard entry
- Stage payroll inputs like earnings or deductions for an upcoming run
- Pull worker and pay data and reconcile it against another system
- Draft a new-hire record from onboarding details before final submission
Can Claude update worker records in ADP?
Yes. With a full read-write ADP connector, Claude can update a worker's profile details such as address, department, or status, and draft a new-hire record from onboarding details before final submission. Read and write tools stay separate, and Claude only touches records your own ADP role can already edit.
Can Claude enter time off and fix timecards in ADP?
Claude can enter or approve time-off and leave requests for review, adjust scheduled hours, and correct a timecard entry inside ADP. The data entry that used to mean spreadsheets and re-keying happens where the worker record already lives, scoped to the permissions your account holds.
Will Claude run payroll in ADP without my approval?
No. Claude can pull worker and pay data, reconcile it against another system, and stage payroll inputs like earnings or deductions for an upcoming run. Submitting the pay run is a separate, gated action that only goes through after you review and approve it.
How an ADP connector works
We build a small MCP server that authenticates to ADP with OAuth and the narrowest scopes the work needs. Read tools (look up workers, pull pay and time data) and write tools (update records, enter time, stage payroll) are separated, and submitting a pay run or other high-impact action requires your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own ADP account and role already grant.
