# Kumo

> Kumo HR Agent 2.0 is here. The world's first Agentic HR Employee. It reads, acts, and keeps going, so teams can focus on people, not paperwork.

Kumo is an agentic HR operating system (People OS). It is not a chatbot or a copilot bolted onto HR software. **Kumo HR Agent 2.0** is an agent colleague that reads CVs, contracts, and policies; sees each tool's real result and continues the mission; pauses for confirmation on sensitive actions; and shows a full audit trail. An honesty kernel means it cannot claim work it has not finished. Contract review is a first-pass HR checklist, not legal certification.

## Kumo technology products

- **Kumo AI Platform**: Kumo's governed model runtime, durable agent loop,
  approvals, artifacts, memory, credits, and tamper-evident audit.
- **Kumo API**: the versioned Agent API and REST surface for embedding Kumo or
  calling individual HR operations.
- **Kumo MCP**: the MCP Server, MCP client, and outbound Connector. Integration
  is a protocol, not a finite catalogue.
- **Kumo HR Agent Kit SDK**: the typed TypeScript client, headless controller,
  and accessible React panel for embedding Kumo.

## Embed Kumo's agent

Customer applications can use Kumo's complete model, planner, durable run loop,
approvals, artifacts, and audit trail through the Agent API and TypeScript SDK.

- Agent API: https://kumohr.com/api/v1/agent/
- OpenAPI: https://kumohr.com/api/v1/openapi.json
- SDK and delegated credential guide: https://kumohr.com/developers#agent-api
- Identity: every request is a named Kumo user in one workspace
- Audit: encrypted, correlated, hash-chained events with signed export

The customer does not supply an OpenAI key. Kumo's model runtime performs the
reasoning; the customer's integration credential only authenticates and delegates
to a named Kumo user.

## Connect another agent (MCP)

Kumo runs an MCP server so external agents can do HR work through it.

- Endpoint: https://kumohr.com/api/mcp (streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0)
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer kumo_…`, a personal access token created in Kumo under Settings → API access
- Tool list: the same operations as the REST API, filtered to the token's scopes
- OpenAPI spec: https://kumohr.com/api/v1/openapi.json
- Setup instructions and one-click install links: https://kumohr.com/developers#mcp

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kumo-hr": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kumohr.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer kumo_YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

Every call runs as the token's user under the same role permissions as the app, and
lands in the audit log.

Kumo is also an MCP *client*. Admins connect any external MCP server under
Settings → Connections: a published https URL, or an outbound connector that
dials out from inside a private network, so the agent can act in systems Kumo
does not own. Every external action waits for human approval.
