mcp-server-check

⚠️ Early Access Beta — This MCP server is currently in beta and available to select partners. APIs, tools, and behavior may change without notice. Please share feedback with your Check point of contact.

Terms of Service — By using this MCP server to access the Check API, you agree to the MCP Usage Terms, which are in addition to your existing agreement with Check.

An MCP server that wraps the Check Payroll API, providing 263 tools for managing companies, employees, contractors, payrolls, tax configuration, embedded components, and more.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/check-technologies/mcp-server-check.git
cd mcp-server-check
uv sync
CHECK_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-server-check

Configuration

Environment Variable	Required	Default	Description
`CHECK_API_KEY`	Yes	—	Your Check API key (Bearer token)
`CHECK_API_BASE_URL`	No	`https://sandbox.checkhq.com`	API base URL
`CHECK_TOOL_MODE`	No	`dynamic`	Tool mode: `dynamic` (3 meta-tools) or `all` (all tools individually)
`CHECK_TOOLSETS`	No	—	Comma-separated list of toolsets to enable (e.g. `companies,employees`)
`CHECK_TOOLS`	No	—	Comma-separated allowlist of individual tool names
`CHECK_EXCLUDE_TOOLS`	No	—	Comma-separated list of tool names to hide
`CHECK_READ_ONLY`	No	—	Set to `1`, `true`, or `yes` to disable all write/mutating tools
`CHECK_TRANSPORT`	No	`stdio`	Transport protocol: `stdio`, `sse`, or `streamable-http`

Sandbox vs Production

By default the server connects to the Check sandbox (https://sandbox.checkhq.com), which is safe for testing and development. The sandbox supports simulation endpoints (e.g. simulate_start_processing, simulate_complete_funding) that let you advance payrolls through processing states without real money movement.

To point at production, set:

CHECK_API_BASE_URL=https://api.checkhq.com

Server Configuration

The server supports fine-grained tool filtering, configurable via environment variables (for stdio) or HTTP headers (for SSE / streamable-http). This follows the GitHub MCP Server configuration pattern.

Feature	Environment Variable	HTTP Header
Toolsets	`CHECK_TOOLSETS`	`X-MCP-Toolsets`
Individual tools	`CHECK_TOOLS`	`X-MCP-Tools`
Exclude tools	`CHECK_EXCLUDE_TOOLS`	`X-MCP-Exclude-Tools`
Read-only	`CHECK_READ_ONLY`	`X-MCP-Readonly`

Filtering precedence: exclude_tools > read_only > tools > toolsets. Exclude always wins; if tools is set it acts as an allowlist independent of toolsets.

Toolsets

There are 17 toolsets, one per API module: bank_accounts, companies, compensation, components, contractor_payments, contractors, documents, employees, external_payrolls, forms, payments, payroll_items, payrolls, platform, tax, webhooks, workplaces.

Enable only specific toolsets:

CHECK_TOOLSETS=companies,employees CHECK_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-server-check

Individual Tools

Allow only specific tools by name:

CHECK_TOOLS=list_companies,get_company,list_employees CHECK_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-server-check

Excluding Tools

Hide specific tools while keeping everything else:

CHECK_EXCLUDE_TOOLS=create_company,delete_company CHECK_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-server-check

Read-Only Mode

Set CHECK_READ_ONLY=1 to run the server with only read-only tools (list, get, download, preview, etc.). All create, update, delete, and other mutating tools are excluded. This is useful when you want to allow exploration of your Check data without risk of modifications.

CHECK_READ_ONLY=1 CHECK_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-server-check
