Overview

What changes when Claude can reach isolved

Asking for a day off usually means logging into the HR portal, finding the right form and filling in leave type, hours and dates. With the connector, an employee tells Claude what they need, and Claude prepares the time off request, checks every detail back with them, and only then sends it to isolved.

A leave request in one message. Say you want next Friday off as vacation: Claude uses submit_time_off_request, but first confirms the leave type, hours and dates with you. Nothing goes out before you say yes.

A change of plans. The sheet also lists cancel_time_off_request. isolved's own page, dated August 2026, says cancelling through Claude is not available yet; the limits section sets both sources side by side.

Payroll, described but not listed. isolved presents The Guardian, a payroll add-on enabled through its sales process, yet none of its tools appears on the directory sheet we read.

What the connector does not do matters too. Two tools, get_time_off_requests and get_time_off_summary, have no description in any source. isolved says The Guardian, its payroll part, does not reach Benefits, Time, HR or other HCM areas in this release, and does not write SSN, EIN or ITIN fields. Nothing runs by itself: no request goes out on a schedule. That is an automation tool's job, a different one; the Integrations hub covers that side.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

The Claude vocabulary this page relies on, in under a minute.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
Tool
One named action the connector hands to Claude. Claude picks the ones it needs by itself; the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The service's own sign-in screen, where you grant the access Claude will use afterwards. Given once per person, and revocable.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for in the chat before it goes ahead with something that would change your account.
MCP
The open standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as isolved.
Connect

Connect isolved to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find isolved in Claude

    Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and look up isolved in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable the connector before members can each sign in.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on its row, then sign in to isolved in the window the service opens itself. If the link breaks later, use Disconnect and connect again from the same row.

  3. 03

    Read the authorization screen

    Check the screen isolved shows before you accept it. It belongs to the service, not to Claude, and it is what sets what the access covers. Access granted there can also be withdrawn later from the isolved side.

Tools

The 4 tools, split by what is known

isolved People Cloud gives Claude 4 tools: 0 that read your account, 2 that change something in it, and 2 no official source describes.

Two tools change your time off requests, two are names with no description. Tool names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude changes (2)

2 tools

Two tools that act on time off requests in isolved. One has a documented confirmation; the other is contested by isolved's own page.

cancel_time_off_request

Approval: see the rule

The directory sheet lists this tool by name and nothing more. isolved's own page, written earlier, says cancelling a request through Claude is not in this release and must be done in isolved directly.

What Claude asks for
no source describes a confirmation for this one, so the general approval rule below applies.
When it helps
a leave you booked is no longer needed and you want to see whether cancelling works on your account, with isolved itself as the fallback.

submit_time_off_request

Asks you first

Sends a new time off request to isolved on your behalf, once you and Claude have agreed on what it says.

What Claude asks for
isolved says Claude always confirms the leave type, hours and dates with you, and submits only after you explicitly agree.
When it helps
you want to book a half day for a medical appointment without opening the HR portal.

Undocumented (2)

2 tools

The directory publishes these two names and nothing more. No official text says what they do, so this page does not guess.

get_time_off_requests

No official source documents this tool. The directory sheet carries its name, isolved's page about the connector never mentions it, and no Claude help page covers it.

Watch out
the general approval rule further down is what applies to it.

get_time_off_summary

Listed on the sheet, explained nowhere: no official source documents it. The sheet's general description talks about checking time off balances, but no source ties that sentence to this name, so this page leaves its effect undescribed.

Watch out
the default approval rule covers it.
Approvals

What Claude checks with you first

By default, Claude stops and asks before each action it takes on an account in your name. For time off, isolved is specific: Claude confirms leave type, hours and dates before it submits anything.

On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without a prompt, and they can restrict what a connector does for the whole organization; nobody overrides that from a personal account. Claude works with the rights of the person who signed in: isolved says the same of The Guardian, its payroll add-on, which stays inside your own isolved permissions. Disconnecting removes Claude's access at once.

Plans

Which plans include it

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. The answer, connector by connector, is published nowhere.

What is published is the general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members can each connect. For the live state, the isolved People Cloud sheet in the official directory is the place to look.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, so nothing is filed when a holiday approaches or a balance changes.

Everything here comes from the directory sheet and isolved's own page: no Claude help page covers this connector. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it neither picks a publisher's tools nor guarantees how they behave. The sheet adds that capabilities vary with your organization's isolved setup and enabled services.

Two official sources disagree

Can Claude cancel a time off request through the isolved connector?

What this page followsThe directory sheet is the more recent of the two and lists the tool; isolved's earlier page says the feature is not there and does not describe the tool. Neither says whether it works for every organization, so try it on your own account and fall back to isolved if in doubt.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude isolved People Cloud connector

01What can Claude do with the isolved People Cloud connector?
On the directory sheet, the connector centers on time off. Claude can submit a time off request after confirming its details with you, and the sheet also lists a tool for cancelling one, which isolved's own page says is not available yet. Two more tools are listed without any description. isolved's page also presents The Guardian, a payroll add-on, but no tool for it appears on the sheet. The sheet adds that capabilities vary with your organization's isolved configuration and enabled services.
02Can Claude submit or cancel time off in isolved?
Submitting, yes: isolved describes Claude sending a time off request once you have confirmed the leave type, hours and dates. Cancelling is contested. The directory sheet lists cancel_time_off_request, while isolved's page, dated August 2026, says cancellation through Claude is not in this release and should be done in isolved directly. The limits section sets both sources side by side; if cancelling fails, use isolved itself, as the publisher advises for any submitted request.
03Does Claude ask before it sends a time off request?
Yes. isolved states that Claude always confirms the leave type, hours and dates with you before submitting, and that submissions only happen after you explicitly confirm. For the other tools, no source describes a specific step, so Claude's default applies: it asks before each action it takes on an account in your name. On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may skip some prompts, and they can narrow what any connector does for everyone.
04Which plans is the isolved People Cloud connector available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. The general rule from Claude's help center: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector before members can connect. On the isolved side, your organization also needs the Claude Connection service enabled. The directory sheet on your account shows the live state.
05Does Claude see all of my company's isolved data?
No. Claude works with the rights of the person who signed in and nothing more, under Anthropic's general rule. isolved says the same of The Guardian, its payroll add-on: it works only inside your isolved permissions and cannot see or change anything you could not. The directory sheet describes self-service access to your own HR data, and adds that capabilities vary with your organization's isolved configuration and enabled services. Once you disconnect, Claude loses that access straight away, according to isolved.
06Why can't I connect isolved to Claude?
isolved's page points first to an organization-level condition: the Claude Connection legal service must be enabled for your organization, and only isolved support can switch it on. The Guardian, its payroll add-on, is enabled separately through the sales process. Then comes the sign-in itself, which stays active for 30 days before isolved asks you to sign in again. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner also has to enable the connector before members can each sign in.
07Should I use Claude or an automation tool with isolved?
They do different jobs, so it is not a ranking. Claude with this connector suits an employee who wants to sort out leave in a sentence and check the details before anything is sent. An automation tool suits work that has to run by itself, on a schedule or after an event. This connector does not do that: nothing reaches isolved until you ask Claude and confirm. Pick by the shape of the task, not by which tool wins.
