Paylocity MCP Server

Search the employee directory by name, job title, email, or employee ID. Returns matching employees with basic info (name, title, department, status, supervisor). Use this first to find someone's employee ID, then use get_employee for full details.

Get full details for an employee by ID. Returns everything: personal info, job/department, pay rate, tax setup, benefits, addresses, emergency contacts. SSN, FEIN, and bank info are redacted.

Get pay statement data for an employee by year. Returns both summary (gross pay, net pay, hours, direct deposit amounts) and line-item details (each tax, deduction, and earning). Optionally filter to a specific check date.

Get direct deposit accounts for an employee. Account and routing numbers are redacted — shows account type, status, and name on account.

Get a high-level workforce summary: total headcount, breakdown by status, department (with names), job title, and reporting relationships.

Update an employee's information. Supports changing: personal info (name, address), job details (title, department, cost center, supervisor), compensation (pay rate, salary), employment status (active, terminated, leave), and benefit setup. All changes require an effective date where applicable.

Add a one-time or recurring earning to an employee (bonus, commission, stipend, overtime, etc.). Use get_company_codes or check existing earnings for valid earning codes.

Add a new employee to the system (onboarding). Creates the employee record with personal info, job details, and compensation. SSN is required by Paylocity but will not be stored in conversation — pass it directly and it will be sent encrypted. Returns the new employee ID.
