ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 22, 2026 — ADP has released new capabilities within ADP API Central, a platform that simplifies how organizations connect workforce data, applications and AI solutions. The platform provides access to APIs, model context protocol (MCP) servers and AI tools in a single solution, enabling organizations to connect the systems they use every day to create a more unified and intelligent workforce experience, making data accessible where work happens.

API Central enables organizations to connect their AI agent of choice to trusted workforce data. This allows employees and managers to ask questions, retrieve insights, and take action directly from their preferred AI experience, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security, governance, and control established by their business.

By bringing workforce data and business applications together, organizations can automate workflows, enhance productivity, and unlock new opportunities for innovation with AI. The result is a more connected organization where data moves seamlessly between systems, workflows run more efficiently, and employees can access the information they need without switching between applications.

Build with Your AI Agent of Choice

Organizations can develop AI-powered agents and conversational experiences that securely access people data through natural-language interactions, leveraging their AI agent of choice while maintaining governance, security and role-based access control. 

• Employee self-service solutions: AI-powered workforce experiences designed with individual employee-level data authorization that can:
  • Provide conversational access to payroll, compensation, earnings and labor-cost information for authorized users
  • Access time-off balances and trigger time-off requests
  • Understand benefit coverage and ask enrollment questions
• Manager self-service solutions: AI-powered workforce experiences designed for managers with employee-level data authorization that can:
  • Enable preboarding, onboarding status checks, offboarding task management and new-hire communication workflows
  • Read and update timecards, review attendance information, manage PTO requests and answer workforce scheduling inquiries
  • Provide conversational access to payroll, compensation, earnings and labor-cost information for authorized users

“The next wave of enterprise AI is about connecting intelligence to action,” said Anthony Maggio, vice president and general manager, ADP Marketplace. “With these new capabilities in API Central, we're providing clients with the infrastructure to move beyond experimentation and quickly deploy intelligent workflows that connect workforce data with the applications employees are already using. By combining flexibility, security and developer-friendly tools, we're making it easier for organizations to realize the value of AI at scale.”
