PlanSource
PlanSource is a benefits administration and employee-benefits engagement platform used by employers, brokers, carriers and HR/payroll partners to run enrollment, eligibility, billing and benefits communication. Its public developer surface is the PlanSource Benefits Administration API (Admin API v2), a RESTful HTTPS API of 80 operations across 62 paths covering employee (subscriber) demographics, dependents, beneficiaries, coverages and stacked coverage lines, payroll deductions with lookup codes and pre-tax/post-tax/employer/imputed amounts, Evidence of Insurability decisions and form completions, ACA offer and enrollee reporting data, administrator accounts, and organization portal page content. It is designed to replace fixed-schedule EDI files with near real-time sync between an HCM/payroll system of record and PlanSource. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client credentials (scope admin_api_v2) or a legacy AuthenticationString + Signature header pair, with OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0 available for end-user single sign-on. The API is documented on a ReadMe developer portal that publishes llms.txt, an agent-skills manifest and an OAuth-gated MCP server, and PlanSource maintains a SafeBase trust center listing SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, HIPAA, CCPA and 23 NYCRR 500.
PlanSource publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including ACA API, Administrators API, Collections API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Employee Benefits, Benefits Administration, Insurance, Human Resources, and Payroll.
The PlanSource catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
PlanSource’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, authentication, sandbox, and 25 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.
