AT A GLANCE
Key points
- Sana and Claude connect through MCP
- Workday permissions and audit controls remain in effect
- Sana in Claude is in early access
- General availability is expected in late 2026
What is changing?
Workday and Anthropic announced a partnership on October 13 that connects Sana and Claude through the Model Context Protocol. Employees will be able to query Workday information, invoke Sana agents, and handle approval-based HR or finance work from Claude under existing Workday permissions.
While Sana manages long-running processes such as compensation cycles or the financial close, it sends Claude only the context needed for an individual step and routes exceptions to human review. Workday Agent-Ready Tools are intended to let joint customers build their own agents in Claude with the same governance and audit trail.
Sana in Claude is currently available to early-access customers, with general availability expected in late 2026. Agent-Ready Tools are generally available through Workday Extend AI, while access through the Claude plugin is due later.
