What HR data stays out of reach?

Pay, salary history, bank accounts, equity, dependents and right-to-work data are not offered, nor hiring, creating, updating or terminating employees, balance adjustments and custom tables. On top of that, the assistant only sees what the service user’s permission group allows.

Does a time-off request skip the manager?

No. A request goes to the employee’s manager for approval in Bob, as one made in Bob would, and it waits for your approval in Flowplane before it is even sent. A cancelled request cannot be brought back, only submitted again.

Why does a people search show at most 100 employees?

Bob answers a people search with everyone at once, without pages, so the assistant asks for only a few fields and shows at most 100 employees. To find one person, it filters by their id or email.

Which AI assistants can use HiBob through Flowplane?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach HiBob through the same Flowplane address.

Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.

HiBob MCP server

HiBob (Bob) is the HR platform of many growing companies. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can find employees and the fields you ask for, see who is out between two dates, look up a time-off balance or request, follow what changed in time off, and list a person’s tasks. It can submit a time-off request, which then goes to the employee’s manager as usual, and cancel one; both wait for your approval by default.

How it connects

Sign-in

HiBob’s API works with a service user, not a personal login. Your Bob administrator creates one (Settings, Integrations, Service users) and puts it in a permission group that holds only what assistants may see; its ID and token are entered into Flowplane once for the organisation. Flowplane keeps the token sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add HiBob and enter the service user’s ID and token. Copy the token when you create the service user: Bob shows it only once.

MCP

HiBob and MCP

HiBob runs an official, hosted MCP server, which an administrator switches on in Bob and where each person connects with their own Bob login. Flowplane does not pass it through: it talks to Bob’s public API directly with the service user you choose, so the permission group you set is exactly what assistants can see.
