Using Workday MCP Server for Analytics & Reporting
You have the data. It's accurate. It's valuable. But asking a simple question like "What's driving churn in Q2?" — still takes dashboards, analysts, and days. MCP changes that.
Natural Language Querying for Real Enterprise Data
Query Workday Naturally. Answer Precisely.
Let executives, PMs, and analysts use natural language to query live Workday data — without needing SQL, BI tools, or training.
Those questions you've avoided asking because the answer would require yet another reporting request? Ask them, and let AI help you explore your Workday data.
Ask Questions that Combine Data Across Sources
Combine Workday data with data from other databases, data warehouses or other cloud apps — no pipelines required. Users can simultaneously load multiple MCP servers to blend data across multiple source systems, and produce the quantitative, descriptive, or historical analysis you need.
Secure Data Controls
MCP uses your existing authentication and your data access controls. No exposure, no shadow data, no exceptions. Users authenticate with their own credentials using the source's most trusted form of authentication to connect to the AI client. This ensures AI access respects the security and permissions your organization has already put in place.
Built for Performance at Scale
With query pushdown, parallel execution, and bulk operations, the Workday MCP server delivers fast answers from even the largest orgs. Less time spent watching AI flash 'generating a response' equals faster analysis, deeper understanding, and overall better results.
