Full list of Knit’s HRIS API Guides
This directory is a live list of all HRIS API integration guides we have written at Knit. Use it to quickly find the guide related to the specific HRIS APP you want to learn more about.
Real, already-built HRIS MCP Servers — give your AI agent access to every HRIS platform Knit supports.
Each HRIS platform exposes its own API, auth, and schema. A Knit MCP Server wraps that platform's real actions as AI-ready tools your agent can call directly — actions like Add HR Attendance Record, Create Employee, Create Employee Leave Request work the same way no matter which platform your agent is connected to, while Knit manages hosting, auth, and tool exposure underneath.
Every action below is real and already live — not a roadmap item. Browse the full API reference →

Amazing Product With Exceptional Support from the team. By using Knit we managed to speed up our development by orders of magnitude.
A brilliant tool to let you seamlessly integrate with many different systems. It is very easy to integrate with and customer support is next level.
Seamless integration experience. Well-documented, self-explanatory APIs, and excellent service and support.
Easy to integrate. Knit's dashboard is intuitive for setting up and testing integrations, and the sandbox is extremely useful during development.
Knit shipped a brand-new Timesheet API in a week and handed us a ready-to-use NetSuite sandbox. That velocity is priceless when you're running payroll in 40+ countries.
4.9 out of 5 stars on G2
50 HRIS platforms today — including 7shifts, ADP Run HRIS, ADP Workforce Now HRIS and more. Missing one you need? Knit's AI-assisted connector-build process typically adds a new one within days.
Yes. Every action can both read and write, so your agent can pull HRIS data and push updates back to the source app, not just query it.
Knit manages OAuth, credential storage, and refresh for every HRIS platform — your team never wrestles with tokens, and there's nothing to configure per platform.
Typically days, not months — the same AI-based connector-build tooling that lets us maintain the 50 HRIS mcp servers already live.
No. Knit acts as a stateless passthrough — data is processed on our application server and returned directly to your agent, without being stored on Knit's servers.
You choose the model that fits your business — pricing based on integrated accounts, or based on API call volume. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial before billing starts.
