Gusto MCP integration
Answers pay stub and document requests, keeps time off policies current, sets new hires up with a job and pay schedule, and surfaces what is blocking payroll.
192actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
List contractor payment details
Lyro pulls the payment method and direct deposit details on file for a named contractor. The person asking gets a straight answer about where their money is going without a payroll admin opening Gusto.
Assign pay schedules
Lyro puts an employee on the right pay schedule once you say which one they belong to. New hires start on the correct cycle from their first run instead of being caught at reconciliation.
Calculate accruing time off hours
Lyro works out how much time off an employee has accrued from hours worked and used this period. The days-left question gets answered in the conversation rather than becoming an HR ticket.
How businesses use Gusto + Lyro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Gusto actions Lyro runs to close it.
Answer a pay stub or document request
Lyro finds the employee, lists the pay stubs and forms Gusto holds for them, and returns the download, so the person asking gets the document rather than a place in the HR queue.
Get EmployeeList Pay StubsDownload Employee Forms PDFKeep time off policies matched to who is on them
As people move between teams, Lyro adds them to the right time off policy, takes them off the one they have left, and adjusts a balance where an agreement was made outside the standard accrual.

Lyro creates the employee record, adds the job and its compensation, and assigns them to a pay schedule, so onboarding does not sit half finished while payroll waits on one missing detail.
Create EmployeeCreate Job CompensationAssign Pay SchedulesClear what is blocking the payroll run
Before a run, Lyro lists the payroll blockers Gusto has flagged, reads the pay periods still open, and checks company onboarding status, so payday is not missed over a signature nobody chased.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Gusto actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
- 01
Connect Gusto
Authorize the Gusto account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
- 02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Gusto actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
- 03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Gusto
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Gusto.
Whatever the Gusto scopes on the connected token allow, and Get Token Info reports exactly what that is. The toolkit can reach bank accounts, federal and state tax details, and garnishments through actions like Get Employee Bank Accounts and Get Garnishment, so scoping the connection before enabling actions matters more here than on most integrations.
