Workable opens its HR + ATS to AI agents via MCP — 38 tools, all plans, no extra cost — alongside steady platform polish.

◆Current state
Workable is shipping at a healthy weekly cadence across both its Recruiting and HR modules. The mid-May MCP server release is the standout: 38 tools that let Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible assistant drive Workable workflows — candidate moves, requisitions, PTO balances — scoped to each user's existing permissions. Surrounding work is platform-quality: redesigned attendance reports, smarter report builder, per-stage disqualification automations, LATAM Spanish localization.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is from ATS-plus-HRIS to AI-agent-callable HR platform. The MCP launch is unusually generous — 38 tools on all plans at no cost — which reads as a deliberate land grab against ATS competitors whose AI stories are still UI-bound. The localization roadmap (LATAM Spanish now, European Spanish/French/French-Canada/Dutch/Danish in June) signals real international push, not opportunistic translation.
◆Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to expand into deeper actions (offer letter drafting, interview scheduling) and an in-product 'Workable Assistant' built on the same tool surface. June's promised locale wave should ship roughly on time; if it slips, that's a tell that engineering is reallocating toward the agent layer.

    Understand employee attendance at a glance

    Attendance report rebuild with weekly/monthly views, human-readable hour formats, and split overtime/undertime columns. Polish-tier improvement that makes the underlying data more agent-readable too — likely no coincidence given the same-week MCP launch.

    ⚡ SPARK

    MCP server with 38 tools turns Workable into a directly callable surface for AI assistants, scoped to each user's permissions. The defining release of the visible timeline and the main reason surrounding work — better reports, cleaner attendance data — matters more.

    Workable is now available in Spanish (Latin America)

    Spanish (Latin America) localization shipped as a distinct es-LA locale — not a Spain-Spanish repurpose. First step in a broader locale rollout planned for June covering European Spanish, French, Dutch, and Danish.
