# Mav MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Mav lets your AI agent handle the heavy lifting of candidate screening through SMS. It automatically qualifies prospects, schedules interviews, and manages high-volume recruiting campaigns without you having to manually text every single applicant. It turns messy outreach into a structured, conversational flow that actually gets people to respond. ## Overview - **Category:** artificial-intelligence - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qQLFfDboeWBC45KPcRsFWBJGftwQoyzZy5QSHszO/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** conversational-ai, lead-qualification, sms-marketing, lead-engagement, automation, playbook-management ## Description Managing a high-volume recruiting pipeline usually feels like a constant game of phone tag. You're stuck toggling between tabs, copy-pasting candidate info, and trying to keep up with SMS replies that come in at all hours. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the front-line work for you. Instead of manually vetting every lead, your agent can trigger automated screening conversations and handle the back-and-forth. You can ask your agent to check a candidate's status, pull transcripts from recent chats, or launch a new SMS campaign for a specific role. It brings your Mav account directly into your daily workspace, making it easier to see who's actually qualified and who's just browsing. By connecting this to the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line into your recruiting funnel, allowing you to focus on the actual interviews rather than the initial screening grind. ## Tools ### get_lead Pull up specific details for a single candidate to see where they are in the funnel.
