Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with Remote and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.
Employer of record, contractor management and payroll for hiring across countries. Remote's MCP server signs in with your Remote account and shows only the tools your role allows; writes follow the same approvals as in the app.
IonBin provides general information and software comparisons, not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Tax and legal rules vary by situation and jurisdiction; consult a qualified professional (CPA, enrolled agent or attorney) before acting.
AI tools can make mistakes. Verify every figure against the original documents and official IRS or state guidance before filing or signing.
Redact Social Security numbers, account numbers and EINs before uploading documents to any AI assistant, and check its data-retention settings. Upload originals only to the filing or signing software.
Remote lists Employer of Record from $599 per employee/month, Global Payroll from $29 per employee/month, Contractor Management from $29 per contractor/month (Plus from $99, Contractor of Record from $325) and US PEO from $99 per employee/month. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
Read tools cover employees, contracts, payroll runs, time off, org structure, legal entities, timesheets and invoices. Write tools today are employee self-service, such as time-off requests and personal details. A time-off request made over MCP still goes to the manager for approval. source ↗
How Remote connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Not documented Remote has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but Remote's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.

Recorded Oct 17, 2026. Setup and plan limits vary; check the vendor's docs. How levels are assigned.
Via its official MCP server, from MCP-capable platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (Google), Google Antigravity, OpenAI Codex.
Via its API, through automation hubs: Gumloop, Make, n8n, Zapier.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Global hiring, payroll and contractor management. Its hosted MCP server exposes Deel API operations as tools at organization, worker and public permission levels, such as listing people or submitting a time-off request.
Combines HR, payroll, device and app management in one system. Rippling MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools to company data within each user's Rippling permissions; it needs a Rippling AI subscription and admin-granted access.
