Who it is for
HR leads and people analytics teams at MENA employers running ZenHR.
ZenHR
MENA payroll and workforce data from ZenHR for reporting
Overview
What ZenHR does
ZenHR is an HR platform for organisations in the Middle East and North Africa, combining employee records, attendance, leave, payroll and performance management with localisation for regional labour law and payroll rules. The connector opens that workforce data to reporting work: headcount and performance analysis, Saudization tracking, and drafting the kind of executive summary an HR team would otherwise assemble by hand. ZenHR describes the connector as a growing set of skills rather than a fixed surface, naming workforce planning, succession planning and compensation analysis as later additions. Nine tools are declared today, and an authenticated ZenHR account is required.
Tool surface
Employee records are the payload, so the 401 in front of tools/list is unsurprising, and the nine tools ZenHR lists cannot be enumerated without a tenant login.

Where ZenHR is listed
ZenHR is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. ZenHR Inc. has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
ZenHR publishes 9 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 41.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Finance publishes 12, so this one sits 3 tools below its bucket's median, 95th of 159.
It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.
ZenHR publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
