Introduction
Modern HR operations demand speed, accuracy, and minimal manual effort. Navigating through multiple modules to perform routine actions like posting jobs, checking payslips, or applying for leave can slow down productivity and create inefficiencies.
To solve this, uKnowva HRMS introduces MCP (Model Context Protocol) Chat, an AI-powered interface that allows users to perform system actions using simple conversational prompts.
With MCP Chat, you no longer need to switch between different sections of the system. Instead, you can directly interact with the AI assistant and execute tasks in real time. From recruitment to payroll, the assistant understands your inputs, gathers required details, and performs actions on your behalf.
In this article, you will learn how to configure MCP Chat, access the interface, and use it effectively to perform various HR tasks within uKnowva HRMS.
Step 1: Install and Enable uKnowva AI Plugin
Once you install and enable the uKnowva AI plugin, MCP Chat is automatically configured in the background.
All required settings, such as tokens, instance URL, and MCP server connections, are pre-configured by the system.
No manual input is required from the admin for standard usage. Simply ensure the plugin is enabled to activate the feature.

Step 2: Access the MCP Chat Interface
Once the configuration is complete, go to the left-hand navigation panel and click on the uKnowva Agent menu.
This will open the uKnowva AI Chat Interface, where you can start interacting with the AI assistant.
The interface is designed like a chat window where you can type commands or select predefined actions.
It simplifies system interaction by allowing you to communicate naturally instead of navigating through multiple menus.
Step 3: Perform Actions Using MCP Chat
After opening the Chat interface, you can begin performing various actions by simply typing your request.
The AI assistant understands your input and guides you through the process by asking for necessary details.
For example, if you want to post a job, you can type a prompt like “Post a job.”
The assistant will ask you for details such as job title, description and other relevant information.
You can provide a detailed input, such as requesting a Junior UI/UX Designer role with specific skills like Figma and a concise job description.
The assistant will then collect any missing details and generate a structured summary of the job posting.
Once you review and confirm the summary, the assistant completes the action and posts the job in the system.
In the same way, you can use MCP Chat to check salary details, apply for leave, view holidays, or access payslips without switching modules.
Step 4: Enhance Interaction with Files and Integrations
AI Chat also allows you to upload and attach files during conversations. This feature is useful when you want the assistant to extract or process information from documents.
You can simply upload a file and ask relevant questions, and the assistant will respond based on the content.
Additionally, you can integrate external AI providers such as OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or OpenRouter by adding their API keys. This allows you to extend the capabilities of AI Chat based on your organizational requirements. Alternatively, you can rely on uKnowva to manage these integrations if configured accordingly.
Step 5: Save and Reuse Important Conversations
While using uKnowva AI Chat, you may want to save important interactions for future reference. The bookmark feature allows you to do this easily.
Click on the bookmark icon in the chat interface to view saved bookmarks or create a new one.
When adding a bookmark, you can enter a title and an optional description, and choose to associate it with the current conversation.
Once saved, you can quickly access these bookmarks later, helping you reuse important workflows or reference previous actions without repeating the entire process.
Conclusion
That’s it!
You’ve now successfully configured and started using MCP Chat in uKnowva HRMS.
By following this process, you can perform multiple HR actions through a single conversational interface, eliminating the need to navigate across different modules.
