Every Monday, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s shipping in Workato Enterprise MCP.
This week marks the launch of a new series: MCP Monday. Each week, we’ll share what’s new in Workato’s pre-built MCP server library—new servers going live, expanded capabilities, and real-world examples of how customers are deploying AI agents in production.
Why weekly updates? Because we’re moving fast. That means new capabilities dropping regularly—and you shouldn’t have to hunt for what’s available. Consider this your Monday morning heads-up on what’s possible with enterprise AI agents.
Tune in every Monday for new MCP updates, implementation patterns, and customer stories.
This Week: Namely Workforce Intelligence & Namely End User Servers
We just shipped two new pre-built MCP servers for Namely—bringing our total to 10 servers in the last week. If you’re using Namely for HR and directory management, your AI agents can now access workforce data and employee information through natural conversation.
What Just Shipped
Namely Workforce Intelligence: Organizational-level access for workforce analytics, reporting, and HR administration. Search employees by department or location, analyze org structure, update profiles, and manage reporting relationships—all through AI agents.

Namely End User: Self-service, identity-scoped access for individual employees and managers. View your own HR data, check benefits enrollment, look up colleagues, manage your team if you’re a manager—no admin privileges needed.

Why This Matters
A common challenge enterprises face with AI agents: they can’t safely access HR systems. Agents need to onboard new hires, prepare for 1:1s, route approvals, surface org context—but giving AI broad access to employee data creates unacceptable risk.
These pre-built servers solve that. OAuth 2.0 user authorization means agents act on behalf of authenticated users with proper permissions. RBAC, audit trails, and enterprise governance built in. Deploy in minutes, not months.
Real-World Use Cases
For HR Teams (Workforce Intelligence)
- Workforce planning: “Show me all employees in Engineering hired in the last 6 months”
- Org chart generation: “Who reports to the VP of Product and what are their direct reports?”
- Administrative updates: “Update Jordan Kim’s title to Senior Software Engineer”
- Reporting relationships: “Change this employee’s manager after the team reorganization”
For All Employees (End User)
- Self-service HR: “What’s my job title and when did I start?”
- Benefits lookup: “What health plan am I enrolled in?”
- People discovery: “Who is Sarah Chen and how do I contact her?”
- Manager workflows: “Show me my direct reports”
For Agents
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or custom agents to Namely data. Agents can now:
- Prepare managers for 1:1s by surfacing team member profiles and tenure
- Onboard new hires by answering HR questions on-demand
- Route approval workflows based on org hierarchy
- Generate leadership briefings with current workforce metrics
What Makes These Enterprise-Ready
- User-level permissions: Agents inherit the authenticated user’s access, not service account credentials
- Fully managed infrastructure: Workato hosts, maintains, and updates—no servers to manage
- Composable workflows: Chain with other pre-built servers (Slack, Jira, Gmail) for complete automation
- Audit trails: Every action logged with full context—who, what, when, why
