Payroll Engine AI Context

Structured LLM context for MCP Server access and REST API integration with Payroll Engine.

License: MIT — free for personal and commercial use.

What is this?

Pre-built context files optimised for LLMs (Claude, GPT-4, Copilot, etc.) when working with the Payroll Engine MCP Server or REST API. Instead of explaining PE concepts from scratch in every session, load the relevant context as system prompt or project knowledge.

For regulation development (Exchange JSON/YAML, No-Code, C# scripting), see PayrollEngine.AiContext.Pro — included in MCP Server Pro.

Usage

Claude.ai Project (recommended)

Upload the relevant context files as Project Knowledge, then use the matching prompt:

Goal	Context files	Prompt
MCP Server queries	01-pe-overview.md, 05-mcp-tools.md	prompts/provider.md
CLI / SDK automation	01-pe-overview.md	prompts/automator.md

API system prompt

var systemPrompt = await File.ReadAllTextAsync("prompts/provider.md")
                 + await File.ReadAllTextAsync("context/01-pe-overview.md")
                 + await File.ReadAllTextAsync("context/05-mcp-tools.md");
