# Gusto MCP: Use Gusto in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/gusto

Connect the Gusto MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “What was our total payroll cost last month, including taxes?”

Gusto runs payroll, benefits, and HR for small businesses. Connect the Gusto MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Gusto from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

Who has started in the last 60 days, and in which teams?

Maito uses Gusto to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect Gusto

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Gusto. You sign in to Gusto in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Gusto from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Gusto isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### Who publishes the Gusto MCP server?

Gusto, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy. Maito connects to it for you, so there's no address to copy.

### Can I use the Gusto MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Gusto?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Gusto, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Gusto before I ask?

No. If a request needs Gusto and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Gusto?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Gusto tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Gusto adds later stay off until you turn them on.
