HR and payroll platform for Malaysian SMEs covering payroll, leave management, and employment compliance

HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.

Current state
HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.
Where it's heading
The v1.2.1 release reveals where HavaHR is heading: it wants to be the payroll tool layer for AI developer workflows. By shipping an MCP server that installs via a single npx command and runs in seven AI environments (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed), HavaHR is betting that its payroll data becomes queryable from wherever the developer already works rather than requiring a separate UI context switch.
Prediction
Expect MCP capability depth to grow — the v1.2.1 push into seven environments is a distribution move, not an experiment. Watch for payroll query tools, payslip generation, and leave-balance lookups as next additions to the MCP server.

    Malaysia Payroll MCP server ships as a one-step npx install

    ⚡ SPARK

    HavaHR's payroll data is now accessible from seven AI development environments via a single npx install — no repo checkout required. This moves the product from a standalone HR UI to a tool layer that can be queried by any agent running in Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Cursor, or Zed.

    Unified Approvals inbox consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests

    Workspace admins can now review all pending requests — leave, expenses, overtime, and others — in a single inbox rather than navigating separate views. This sits alongside the MCP server as the other user-visible change from the v1.2.x sprint.

    Version 1.1.2

    Marketing copy was updated to remove compliance claims that overstated the platform's scope — specifically 'LHDN-verified' and '100% compliant.' The product page now accurately reflects that Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing are outside HavaHR's scope. No change to product functionality.

    Version 1.1.1

    Minor marketing homepage styling fix: corner radius and hover states on the desktop nav pill now align with the outer capsule. Internal cosmetic polish with no effect on the product.

  5. 5mo ago

    Version 1.1.0

    Blog index and article layouts were refreshed for readability. Marketing site improvement; no product change.

  6. 7mo ago

    Version 1.0.0

    A public changelog page was added so users can track what has shipped. Transparency feature; no change to core payroll or HR functionality.
