How to Set Up and Use Check

The Check MCP server connects AI assistants to the Check Payroll API, exposing 263 tools across 17 payroll modules including companies, employees, contractors, payrolls, tax, documents, and bank accounts. It supports a dynamic meta-tool mode that reduces context overhead by exposing only three search/execute tools, or an 'all' mode that exposes every individual endpoint. Payroll platform developers and HR teams building on Check's embedded payroll infrastructure can use this server to query and manage payroll data through conversational AI.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ and the uv package manager installed
  • A Check API key (obtain from your Check Technologies dashboard or sandbox environment)
  • Git to clone the repository
  • An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
1

Clone the repository

Clone the Check MCP server repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/check-technologies/mcp-server-check.git
cd mcp-server-check
2

Install dependencies

Use uv to install all required Python dependencies.

uv sync
3

Test with sandbox API

Run the server with your Check API key. By default it connects to the sandbox environment. Set CHECK_API_BASE_URL for production.

CHECK_API_KEY=your-sandbox-api-key uv run mcp-server-check
4

Configure tool exposure mode

By default the server uses dynamic mode (3 meta-tools). Set CHECK_TOOL_MODE=all to expose all 263 individual tools, or use CHECK_TOOLSETS to enable specific modules like 'employees,payrolls'.

# Dynamic mode (default) - 3 meta-tools for lower context usage
CHECK_API_KEY=your-key CHECK_TOOL_MODE=dynamic uv run mcp-server-check

# All tools mode
CHECK_API_KEY=your-key CHECK_TOOL_MODE=all uv run mcp-server-check
5

Configure your MCP client

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file, providing your Check API key and the path to the cloned repository.

Check Examples

Client configuration

Claude Desktop configuration for the Check Payroll MCP server using uv, with sandbox API endpoint.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "check": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/mcp-server-check", "mcp-server-check"],
      "env": {
        "CHECK_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CHECK_API_BASE_URL": "https://sandbox.checkhq.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Client configuration (production, read-only)

Production configuration with read-only mode enabled for safer AI access.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "check": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/mcp-server-check", "mcp-server-check"],
      "env": {
        "CHECK_API_KEY": "your-production-api-key",
        "CHECK_API_BASE_URL": "https://api.checkhq.com",
        "CHECK_READ_ONLY": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example prompts for working with Check payroll data through Claude.

- "List all companies in our Check account"
- "Show me the employees for company ID abc123"
- "What payrolls are scheduled for next month?"
- "List all contractors and their payment status"
- "Search for available tools related to tax filing"

Troubleshooting Check

Authentication error with CHECK_API_KEY

Verify your API key is correct and matches the environment (sandbox vs production). The sandbox base URL is https://sandbox.checkhq.com and production is https://api.checkhq.com. Set CHECK_API_BASE_URL accordingly.

Too many tools causing context overflow in AI client

Use the default dynamic mode (CHECK_TOOL_MODE=dynamic) which exposes only 3 meta-tools: search_tools, list_toolsets, and run_tool. This dramatically reduces token usage compared to exposing all 263 tools.

Only want access to specific payroll modules

Set CHECK_TOOLSETS to a comma-separated list of modules, e.g. CHECK_TOOLSETS=employees,payrolls,companies. Available modules include: companies, employees, contractors, workplaces, payrolls, tax, documents, bank_accounts, and more.
