Omni HR launches native MCP integration for AI assistants to access live HR data

SINGAPORE, July 20, 2026 — Omni HR today announced the launch of its native MCP integration, enabling AI assistants that HR teams already use — such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor — to read and act on live HR data. Every action the AI takes is scoped to what the authenticated user is already authorized to see in Omni, with no new access granted and no HR data stored at the connector level.

The launch marks the next step in Omni's expanding AI capabilities. In June 2026, Omni released Mino, its AI agent built to work inside the platform. The MCP integration extends that intelligence outward: the AI tools teams are already using can now reach into Omni's unified data layer and act on it in context, without switching systems, copying data between tools, or loosening the access controls governing who sees what.

Omni's State of AI in HR report found that only 21% of HR leaders across Singapore and the Philippines trust AI outputs enough to act on them without manual review — a confidence gap the report traces directly to fragmented, inconsistent HR data. Because Omni consolidates all HR data into one centralized, real-time system, the integration has something reliable to work from, and users can trust what it returns.

Together, Mino and the MCP integration form two sides of the same commitment: making Omni's HR data work harder for every team. With the integration connected, teams can ask their AI assistant to:

• Pull who's on leave this week
• Run a headcount snapshot by department
• Update an employee's profile data

The AI returns the answer or takes the action in plain language. The integration works across Omni's core HR modules today, spanning employee data, lifecycle management, and time off, and becomes more capable as the toolset expands.

"Mino brought AI into Omni. The MCP integration brings Omni into the AI tools your teams are already using every day. What makes both of them different is that your access controls travel with the data. The AI doesn't get a bigger view of your business than the person operating it — and we think that's the standard the whole industry should be held to."
