Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search jobs and candidates, read applications, and add candidate tags in SmartRecruiters.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 9 things (tools) smartrecruiters_search_jobs, smartrecruiters_get_job, smartrecruiters_search_candidates, smartrecruiters_get_candidate …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • smartrecruiters_search_jobs

    Search the company's job requisitions by keyword, status, city, department or update time. Returns content with each job, totalFound and nextPageId. SmartRecruiters: GET /jobs.

  • smartrecruiters_search_candidates

    Search candidates who have at least one job application, by keyword, job, status, tag or update time. Returns content, totalFound and nextPageId. Call one page at a time: this endpoint allows one concurrent request. SmartRecruiters: GET /candidates.

  • smartrecruiters_get_candidate

    Get one candidate's profile by id: name, contact details, source, tags and properties. SmartRecruiters: GET /candidates/{id}.

  • smartrecruiters_get_candidate_application

    Get one candidate's application to one job: status, substatus, rating and screening answers. SmartRecruiters: GET /candidates/{id}/jobs/{jobId}.

  • smartrecruiters_list_candidate_attachments

    List the files attached to a candidate, such as a CV or cover letter (metadata only). SmartRecruiters: GET /candidates/{id}/attachments.

  • smartrecruiters_search_offers

    List the users of the company, such as recruiters and hiring managers, with name, email and system role. SmartRecruiters: GET /users.

  • smartrecruiters_add_candidate_tags

Common questions

Is SmartRecruiters MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.4) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

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.
