# Gusto MCP server

Remote endpoint mcp.api.gusto.com. Checked September 2026.

Gusto's server at mcp.api.gusto.com reads a company's employees, contractors, departments, compensation, payroll runs with taxes and deductions, contractor payments, pay schedules, time records, and time-off balances, within the data categories a full admin grants at sign-in. Totaling gross pay across recent payroll runs is a read; updating and submitting an unprocessed payroll is a write it also performs.

## Gusto MCP options

Every fact in a row comes from the publisher's own documentation.

## One MCP server per tool still can't answer a cross-channel question.

Each server brings its own sign-in, its own definition of revenue, and data your assistant can't join to the rest.

SourceMedium connects 63 commerce and marketing sources, keeps one set of maintained definitions, and gives ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants a single connection to all of it. Gusto is not a SourceMedium source today.
