HiBob provides Bob, an HR and people operations platform for managing employee data, time off, tasks, documents, hiring, reporting, and related workforce workflows. It is used by organizations to run HR processes and connect those workflows with external systems.
HiBob exposes a REST-based Bob Public API authenticated with service-user Basic auth, plus a hosted MCP server documented as supporting both service-user access and newer OAuth-based user access; no public GraphQL API or CLI was found.

In Bob, open the Service Users configuration page and create a new service user, then copy its ID and token. If you do not have direct access, ask a Bob admin to generate it for you. After creating it, assign the service user to a dedicated permission group as described in API Service users and Manage service users. Use the pair as HTTP Basic auth by base64-encoding `SERVICE-USER-ID:TOKEN into the Authorization` header.
For the hosted Bob MCP server, use the Bob user-access OAuth flow described in Use Bob MCP Server and referenced from HiBob MCP Server. This rollout provides employee-level access for MCP clients; the developer docs indicate setup and tool details are maintained in the Help Center only.
