Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/hibob updated: 2026-10-22 --- Connectors · Accounting & finance # HiBob MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to HiBob and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 201 HiBob actions (102 reads, 72 writes and 27 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the HiBob credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces HiBob's limits and records every call. [Connect HiBob free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "hibob.profiles.list", intent: "check which HiBob account is connected" } # Read the public profile section of all active employees · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 201 actions in one signed file - 102 read look, never change - 72 write create and update - 27 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect HiBob in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect HiBob. Username and secret. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `service_user_id` Bob service user ID: in Bob go to Settings > Integrations > Automation > Service users, create a service user, and… - `token` Bob service user token, shown once when the service user is created (or after resetting it) - `region` Your HiBob region ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "hibob" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "hibob.profiles.list" } # read the public profile section of all active employees · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "hibob.employees.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` HiBob at a glance **Sign-in** Username and secret.

Plus your region. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "hibob" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in HiBob?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 27 HiBob actions are destructive, including delete an attendance entry, deletes a salary entry from the employee's list and delete a Document from a Shared Folder. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my HiBob API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the HiBob service file: 50 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (102 HiBob actions can be), which never reaches HiBob. **What does a HiBob action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (201 HiBob actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls HiBob refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which HiBob API does it cover?** The HiBob Public API v1 (per-API OpenAPI 3.1 definitions on apidocs.hibob.com) at your region's hibob.com address, set when you connect. It is built from HiBob's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 201 actions in 89 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my HiBob data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your HiBob credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like HiBob Shares the most action names with - [Sesame HR 19](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sesame-hr) - [Personio 16](https://actionlake.com/connectors/personio) - [Paycor 16](https://actionlake.com/connectors/paycor) - [7shifts 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/7shifts) - [Planday 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/planday) - [Merge HRIS 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/merge-hris) Joins with, on shared entities - [Deel 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/deel) - [Samsara 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/samsara) - [Cornerstone OnDemand 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cornerstone-ondemand) - [Remote 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/remote) - [Drata 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/drata) - [Humaans 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/humaans) Browse - [All Accounting & finance connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/accounting-and-finance) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
