What you can do with Zenefits

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

create_personCreate personPOSTCreates a new employee in Zenefits.
get_personGet personGETRetrieves detailed information about an employee.

Zenefits API rate limits

60 requests per minute

Rate limits apply per API token

These are the limits Zenefits documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Zenefits documentation for current values.

Use Zenefits from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Zenefits in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Zenefits operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
