Keka MCP Connector – Home Page

Overview

The Keka connector brings your Keka HR data into Claude. You can check your attendance, leave balance or payslips, apply for leave or work from home, see what's waiting for your approval and raise a helpdesk ticket, all from a chat. You don't need to open Keka.

Keka builds and runs the connector. It covers the HR tasks employees do most often, and we'll add more over time. It follows your existing Keka permissions, so you can only see and do what you already can in Keka.

Who it's for

Employees: check attendance, leave, holidays, pay and tax, and raise requests.
Managers: see team leave, pending approvals and team expense claims.
Admins: turn on the connector for your organisation and review activity in the audit log.

Supported AI assistants: Claude (web, desktop and mobile)

Before you start

You can connect once, Your Keka admin has turned it on for your organisation (steps below).

For admins: turn on the connector

In Keka, go to Applications -> Keka MCP Setup
Initiate the Setup, approve the Terms & Conditions
Turn on Keka MCP connector.
Once enabled, we let employees know they can connect via an in-app "Bring Keka into your AI assistant" banner

If the connector is off, employees see the message "Keka MCP is not enabled for your organisation" when they try to connect. If you turn it off later, active connections stop working from the next request.

Connect Keka to Claude

You can follow the below process once Keka Connector is made available in the Claude directory.

Connecting takes about a minute. You sign in with your usual Keka login.

In Claude, open Settings › Connectors and select Browse connectors.
Search for Keka and select Connect.
Choose the region your Keka account is hosted in (table below). If you're not sure, ask your Keka admin.
You're taken to the Keka sign-in page. Sign in the way you usually do: Microsoft, Google or Keka credentials.
Review what Claude will be able to access, then select Allow.
Back in Claude, Keka shows as Connected.

Check that it works: start a new chat and ask "What's my leave balance?"

Choose your region

Keka keeps your data in your account's region. You must connect to the address for that region. If you pick the wrong one, sign-in is refused.

Region	Connector address
India (Central India)	https://mcp-in.keka.com/mcp
United States (Central US)	https://mcp-cus.keka.com/mcp
Europe (North Europe)	https://mcp-ne.keka.com/mcp
Southeast Asia	https://mcp-sea.keka.com/mcp
UAE (UAE North)	https://mcp-uan.keka.com/mcp
Qatar (Qatar Central)	https://mcp-qc.keka.com/mcp

Disconnect

In Claude, go to Settings › Connectors, select Keka and choose Disconnect. Claude can no longer reach your Keka data. To use it again, connect from step 1.

Your access also ends if you leave your organisation, your permissions are removed.

What you can do

The connector has 23 tools. Most only view information. Four take an action in Keka: applying for leave, applying for work from home, raising a helpdesk ticket and updating a helpdesk ticket.

You only see the tools your Keka permissions allow. For example, team tools appear only if you manage a team.

Before an action runs, Claude shows the details and asks you to approve. Check the dates and details first. Requests go through your company's normal policies and approval flow, just as they do in Keka.

Example prompts

Ask in your own words. Mentioning Keka helps Claude pick the connector.

Employees

"How many casual leaves do I have left in Keka?"
"Did I miss any punches this month?"
"Apply for leave next Friday, reason: family function."
"Request work from home for tomorrow."
"Show my payslip for last month."
"How much TDS has been deducted so far this year?"
"Is my Form 16 ready?"
"When is the next company holiday?"
"Raise a helpdesk ticket: my laptop charger isn't working."

Managers

"Who on my team is on leave next week?"
"What's waiting for my approval in Keka?"
"How much in expense claims is pending with me?"

Combine it with your work

"Check my leave balance and the holiday calendar, then suggest the best week in December for a 5-day trip."
"Summarise everything I need to act on in Keka today."

How it works

Every request goes from Claude to Keka's MCP server, then to Keka. The answer comes back the same way.

The MCP server never acts on its own. It always acts as you, using your sign-in. It never uses a shared or admin account.

Who can use it

Two checks decide what you can do. All three must pass:

Your admin. A Keka admin has turned on the connector for your organisation.
Your permissions. Each tool follows your Keka permissions. If you can't see something in Keka, you can't see it through Claude either.

Security and privacy

The connector acts only as you. It sees only what you can see in Keka, and it doesn't store your chats.

Secure sign-in. You sign in through Keka's own login page (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE), using your company's usual method: Microsoft, Google or Keka credentials. Claude never sees your password.
Your identity, from your sign-in. Keka identifies you only from your sign-in, never from what you type in the chat. Asking about another employee can't get around your permissions.
Organisation isolation. Your organisation is identified from your sign-in. Every request, cache and log entry is kept separate for each organisation.
Data stays in your region. Requests are handled in your Keka account's region.
Only the data needed. Each tool returns only the fields needed to answer, not full Keka records.
Files stay in Keka. Payslips, Form 16 and letters open through a link to Keka. You need to be signed in to Keka to open them.
No chat history at Keka. Keka doesn't keep your conversations. Each request is handled on its own.

What Claude receives. The answers Keka returns, such as your leave balance or salary breakup, appear in your Claude conversation. Anthropic handles that conversation under your Claude account's terms and privacy settings. If your company has rules about HR data in AI tools, check with your admin before you connect a personal Claude account.

Read the Keka privacy policy and terms of use for more details.

Audit log

Keka logs every request with the time, the employee, the action (for example, "Check leave balance") and the result: success, failed or denied. Global admins can see this in the Admin Audit Log in real time. Records are kept for 30 days.

Rate limits

Level	Limit
Organisation	20,000 requests per minute
Each user	200 requests per minute

If you go over a limit, Claude shows a "rate limit exceeded" message with when to try again. You stay connected and other tools keep working.

Limitations

The connector covers the tasks in What you can do. Anything else, such as approving requests, editing your profile or HR admin tasks, still happens in Keka.
Claude can misread a question or pick the wrong tool. Check important answers in Keka, especially pay and tax figures.
Some tools apply only in some countries. For example, Form 16 applies only in India.

Troubleshooting

What you see	What to do
"Keka MCP is not enabled for your organisation"	Ask your Keka admin to turn on the connector.
Sign-in is refused, or a region error appears	You may have picked the wrong region. Disconnect and connect again using your region's address.
Connected, but Claude doesn't use Keka	Mention Keka in your question. In the chat, check that the Keka connector is turned on.
A tool you expect is missing	Your Keka permissions don't include it. Ask your admin if you think you should have access.
"You don't have access to this information"	Your Keka permissions don't allow this data. It isn't available in Keka for you either.
Asked to sign in again	Your session expired or your access changed. Sign in again.
"Rate limit exceeded"	Wait for the time shown, then try again.
A link to a payslip or document doesn't open	Sign in to Keka in your browser, then open the link again.

FAQ

Is the connector free? It's included with all the plans right now.You also need a Claude account.

Can I see a colleague's salary or leave? Only if you can see it in Keka today. The connector follows your Keka permissions exactly.

Does Keka use my chats to train AI? No. Keka doesn't receive or store your chats, only the tool requests. How Anthropic uses your conversations depends on your Claude account settings.

Can I use a personal Claude account? Today, an employee can connect from a personal Claude account if their organisation has turned on the connector.

Does it work with ChatGPT or other AI assistants? Support for other AI Assistants will be added in future iterations

How do admins see who is using it? In the Admin Audit Log. It shows each request with the employee, action and result.

What happens when an employee leaves? Their Keka access ends, so their next request fails and the connection stops working.
