description: |
  Remote.com is a global employment platform that lets companies hire,
  pay, and manage employees and contractors in 90+ countries without
  setting up local entities. Remote owns in-country legal entities
  across its EOR footprint and runs its own global payroll and benefits
  infrastructure rather than reselling third-party providers. The
  platform layers a developer API, partner OAuth flows, webhooks, a
  CLI, language SDKs, an AI agent toolkit, and an official MCP server
  on top of these services so customers and partners can fully automate
  hiring, onboarding, payroll, benefits, time off, expenses, and
  offboarding.
