UKG Dimensions MCP connector

The UKG Dimensions connector brings employee records, supervisors, cost centers, pay periods, locations, and jobs to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person asks questions and updates records inside their own UKG Dimensions access.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect UKG Dimensions to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

In Elaichi

Connect UKG Dimensions once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick UKG Dimensions.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste an UKG Dimensions API key. One person generates a token in UKG Dimensions and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with UKG Dimensions through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • HR

    Catch an employee record up after a change

    When someone moves teams or gets a new manager, ask for their UKG Dimensions record and update the supervisor, job, or location in the same conversation instead of clicking through menus.

  • Payroll

    Check who falls in this pay period

    Pull the current pay periods and employee groups from UKG Dimensions to confirm who is covered before payroll closes, and spot anyone missing employment terms.

  • Operations

    See who reports to a manager at a location

    Ask for the people and supervisors at a given UKG Dimensions location and get a plain list back, ready to paste into a shift plan or a handover note.

  • Finance

    Reconcile headcount by cost center

    Search UKG Dimensions cost centers and list the people assigned to each, so the budget lines match the org chart before the month closes.

  • HR

    Onboard a batch of new hires at once

    Paste a list of new starters and create their UKG Dimensions person records in one go, with jobs, locations, and external IDs filled in from the list.

  • Store management

    Find the right job and location codes

    Ask which jobs and location sets exist in UKG Dimensions before assigning someone, instead of guessing a code and fixing it later.

Try asking

  • “Who reports to Dana Ruiz at the Denver distribution center?”
  • “List everyone in cost center 4120 with their job titles”
  • “Update Priya Shah's supervisor to Marcus Lee”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect UKG Dimensions to Claude?

Connect UKG Dimensions in Elaichi first, which asks for your UKG Dimensions API key and nothing else. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and UKG Dimensions is ready to use in Claude.

Does UKG Dimensions work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once UKG Dimensions is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect UKG Dimensions once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my UKG Dimensions data?

It can look up an employee in UKG Dimensions along with their supervisor, employment terms, and external IDs, list the people at a location or in a cost center, and find jobs, employee groups, pay periods, and location sets. It can also create and update person records, including many at once from a list, and remove a record if you allow that. Short, concrete asks such as "who reports to Dana at the Denver center" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting UKG Dimensions give the AI access to every employee?

No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so if you can only see your own locations in UKG Dimensions, the agent sees only those too. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to lookups only, but it can never widen what UKG Dimensions already lets you do.

Can my team share one UKG Dimensions connection?

Yes. One person connects UKG Dimensions with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in as themselves, so every lookup or change to a UKG Dimensions person record is logged under their own name.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in UKG Dimensions?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading UKG Dimensions people, cost centers, and pay periods while blocking updates, bulk changes, or deleting a person record. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a UKG Dimensions connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to UKG Dimensions through every client at once. A connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team, and the audit log keeps their history. If you need to remove UKG Dimensions entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.

Does the UKG Dimensions MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. UKG Dimensions is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
