HR Partner for AI agents
HR Partner is an HR platform for managing employee records, leave, recruitment, and performance data. People teams rely on it to keep employee records accurate without manual double entry. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

How HR Partner connects.
Users add their HR Partner api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same HR Partner connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

HR Partner and Arc0, answered.
Can I use HR Partner with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect HR Partner to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the HR Partner actions you allow.
How do users connect HR Partner?
Users add their HR Partner api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which HR Partner actions can my agent take?
10 in total: 10 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in HR Partner?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the HR Partner policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call HR Partner too?
Yes. The same HR Partner connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
