ADP MCP server: ask questions, get governed answers

ADP Workforce Now is a cloud HR and payroll platform; it holds employee records, pay runs, time and attendance, benefits and headcount.

Try it on your own data in a pilot.

ADP AI analytics: what you can ask

Typical questions from HR and payroll teams. Each answer shows the definition, source and query behind it.

  • What was total gross payroll by department last pay period versus the one before?
  • How many active employees do we have by location and job family today?
  • Which departments had the most overtime hours last month?
  • Show headcount hires and terminations by month for the past 12 months.
  • Which employees have no manager assigned in the HR records?
  • What is the average tenure of active employees by business unit?

How Nexatron connects to ADP

Whose permissions
An administrator connects one ADP service credential for the workspace; its scopes are the outer limit, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
Read and write
Read-only. Nexatron reads ADP data to answer questions and never writes to ADP.
Setup
An administrator connects an API client certificate (mutual TLS) issued by the vendor. Steps: choose the source → check prerequisites → enter connection details → verify → ask. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.

ADP MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot

Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed ADP MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your ADP data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.

Connect ADP to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot

  1. Connect ADP to your Nexatron workspace.
  2. In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp.
  3. Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your ADP questions.

Yes. The connector is available now. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
Does Nexatron respect ADP permissions?
Yes, within the scopes of the ADP credential your administrator connects. Nexatron roles decide who can ask.
Can Nexatron change data in ADP?

What do I need to connect ADP?
A vendor-issued client certificate and an administrator to connect it.
Is there a ADP MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
