SmartRecruiters MCP by usefulapi

Use your SmartRecruiters account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Search jobs and candidates, read applications, add candidate tags, and read offers and users. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://smartrecruiters.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://smartrecruiters.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http smartrecruiters https://smartrecruiters.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smartrecruiters": {
      "url": "https://smartrecruiters.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your SmartRecruiters credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/smartrecruiters/

On first connect you provide a SmartRecruiters API key, which an Administrator creates under Settings → Credential Manager → New Credential → API Key. The key is shown only once. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
