Personio MCP: connect Personio to Claude and ChatGPT
Ask Claude or ChatGPT who is off next week, how many sick days a team has had this quarter or which new starters join in November. The answer comes straight from Personio, without building a report or messaging HR.
We build the connector for your company on Personio’s own API. It only reads, it sees only the fields your Personio admin allows, and your company decides which groups get it. HR data is sensitive, so salary details stay out unless you choose otherwise.

What we build for Personio
Deployed OS has no ready Personio connector yet. We build it for your company when you start, on Personio’s own API, with the same rules as every other connector: each person’s own login, access decided by group, every call logged.
- Employees and employments
- People with the attributes your Personio admin allows, such as department, office, manager, start date and probation end.
- Time off
- Absence periods, such as holiday and sick leave, per person, team and date range.
- Attendance
- Recorded working hours and breaks per person and period.
- Documents
- Which documents an employee has on file, listed by category. The connector does not open their contents.
- Recruiting
- Open roles and their applications, from Personio’s recruiting API, which Personio still marks as beta.
Who sees what
- Read-only
- The connector reads. It does not request or approve time off, change an employee record or upload documents.
- Company API credentials, access per group
- Personio’s API connects with credentials your Personio admin creates for the company, not with each person’s own Personio login. So Deployed OS decides who gets it: admins choose which groups get Personio, and a group without access never sees the connector.
- Salary data kept apart
- The credentials return only the fields your admin selects in Personio. We leave salary and other sensitive fields out unless you ask for them, and then only for the groups you name, such as HR or payroll.
- Every call logged
- Who asked, what was read and when. Deployed OS keeps the log, and it can be exported.
Set up the Personio connector in three steps
Personio’s own MCP server or Deployed OS?
Personio has its own MCP server, in beta and not yet open to every customer. Once an admin turns it on, each person connects with their own Personio account and it only sees what they may already see in Personio. It reads employee profiles, time off, compensation and performance reviews, and requesting time off can be turned on separately. For an HR team that wants Personio in Claude, it is a good fit.
Deployed OS is for when Personio is one system among several. It sits next to your other tools in one company connection, admins decide which groups get Personio, every call is logged in one place, and the same connection works in both Claude and ChatGPT, next to your company’s skills and guardrails.
Personio MCP: common questions
Yes. Personio has its own MCP server in beta, not yet open to every customer, and it works within each person’s own Personio permissions. Deployed OS adds Personio to one company connection with your other systems, with access per group, one log and the same setup in Claude and ChatGPT.
No. The connector reads employees, time off, attendance, document lists and recruiting. It does not request or approve time off, edit records or upload documents.
Nobody, unless you decide otherwise. The connector only receives the fields your Personio admin allows on the API credentials. If salary should be readable, we keep it to the groups you name, such as HR or payroll, and every call is logged.
No. Personio’s API connects with company credentials, so the connector cannot apply each person’s own Personio permissions. Access is set in Deployed OS instead: which groups get Personio, and which fields the connector may read at all.
