401GO
401GO is a Utah-based retirement technology provider that delivers fast, low-cost 401(k), Solo 401(k), Cash Balance and IRA plans to small and medium-sized businesses, sole proprietors, financial advisors, payroll bureaus and HCM platforms. The 401GO API is a partner-oriented REST API on app.401go.com that lets payroll providers and benefits platforms programmatically set up plans, sync participant census data, read plan provisions and employer match formulas, retrieve deferral elections and loan deductions, and submit payroll contribution files — the 360-degree payroll integration 401GO markets to HCM partners. The same API also exposes participant-facing surfaces for investments and portfolios, rebalancing, beneficiaries, disbursements, loan requests, rollovers, retirement-planning projections, notifications and documents. Access is OAuth 2.0 (authorization code and client credentials) with OpenID Connect SSO, and is further gated by a per-client endpoint-plus-HTTP-method allow list negotiated during partner onboarding.
401GO publishes 10 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Affiliates & Firms API, Beneficiaries API, Companies & Plans API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, Retirement, 401k, Financial Services, and Fintech.
The 401GO catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
401GO’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HCM and Payroll Marketplaces (ADP, Workday, UKG, Paylocity) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
