Dayforce in Anthropic’s Claude to Help You Finish Work – Where You Work

Dayforce connector will enable joint customers to ask questions and complete work with trusted Dayforce data in Claude — using the permissions and controls they already have in Dayforce

MINNEAPOLIS and TORONTO, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dayforce, Inc., a global leader in human capital management (HCM) technology that makes work life better, today announced plans to bring Dayforce capabilities into Claude, Anthropic’s AI Assistant, through a new Dayforce connector for Claude, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Dayforce customers who use Claude can ask questions and take supported actions on their HR, time, pay, talent, and planning data using conversational natural language in Claude. The experience will operate within the permissions, access controls, and approval processes that customers have already defined in Dayforce.

“Workforce insights and Action should meet people in the systems where they already work—without losing the context, controls, and trust required to move work forward,” said Jake Varghese, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dayforce. “Together, Dayforce in Claude brings powerful reasoning to the workforce decisions that matter most. Dayforce continues to understand each organization’s people, rules, and business, grounding AI in the trusted system of record. This is where the future of work is headed: more natural, more useful, and built on the trusted Dayforce platform at the heart of work.

The announcement was made at Dayforce Discover, the company’s flagship customer conference, where Dayforce unveiled its Agentic HCM Platform — weaving native AI across a more open, connected platform so organizations can get answers, take Action , complete work, and build what's Next for their businesses.

Simplify work with Dayforce in Claude

1. Connect Group what matters most. With Dayforce in Claude, customers choose which areas of Dayforce to Connect Group to – including HR, pay, time, talent, and planning - so the experience reflects how their organization works.
2. Get answers where work happens. Employees and managers can access relevant workforce information through the AI assistant they already use.
3. Turn insight into Action . Beyond surfacing answers, Dayforce in Claude can support work such as approving requests, filling open shifts, submitting time off, and engaging candidates—within the workflows and approvals already defined in Dayforce.
4. Safe by design. Every response and Action respects existing Dayforce permissions. Changes to workforce data require validation and explicit human confirmation before they are completed.
