Getting started

npm install
npm run build
npm start

The server communicates over stdio (standard MCP transport). To integrate with Claude Desktop, add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salaxy": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/salaxy-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Notes

• Tax rates and statutory deduction percentages are illustrative 2024 values for demonstration purposes and should not be used for real payroll.
• SSNs in mock data are masked; IBANs are synthetic.
