Architecture for agents
If you're here for a reason, this is probably it. MCP, skill files, webhooks. Your agents drive Winslow as a first-class consumer.
01
Public MCP server
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt — all read and write Winslow through the same MCP. No bespoke integrations.
02
Skill files for custom workflows
Drop them into your Winslow workspace. The Slack employee chat runs them like built-in features.
03
Webhooks for every lifecycle event
Hire, terminate, promote, comp change, leave request — all fire to your stack.
04
REST + GraphQL API
Standard auth, paginated, versioned. The MCP is a wrapper on this; nothing is hidden.
05
Writable system of record
No black-box objects. Read, write, audit, export. Your HR data is yours.
06
Custom menu items in admin UI
Tools you build externally register as menu items inside Winslow. Lives where the team already works.
07
Generative-UI tools in chat
When an employee says "I want to do X," Winslow launches your tool inline. Same pattern as Claude artifacts.
08
Vibe-code support
Point Lovable, Cursor, Bolt at the MCP, build a custom HR app in an afternoon. We do not ship it for you on purpose.
09
Native audit log on every action
Agent-driven actions are auditable as first-class events. Same trail as human actions.
10
<code>/llms.txt</code> + <code>/for-your-agent</code> routes
Machine-readable canonical summary at the edge. Your agent reads it in one fetch, no scraping required.
07
Security & trust
Boring on purpose. The page your security team sends back with no questions.

What we don't do
Honest list. If one of these is a dealbreaker, save us both a call.
- We are not a PEO. No co-employment. (If you want one, JustWorks is the right call.)
- Currently, we don't support employees outside the US. EOR coming soon!
- We do not have a Microsoft Teams employee experience. Slack only.
- We do not run a marketplace of third-party apps. We expose an MCP and let you build what you need.
- We do not sell separate IT or finance products. If you want Rippling-style device MDM or spend management in the same suite, we are not the answer.
- For now, we don't do hourly workers (coming soon).
- We don't charge you for every module you add. It's one price for everything we offer.
- We do not gate AI usage behind seat counts. There is no "AI add-on." It is the architecture.
- We do not negotiate multi-year lock-ins. Annual contracts only.
