# Merge MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Merge (Unified Integration API) MCP lets you manage B2B data from HRIS, ATS, CRM, and ticketing systems through a single point of entry. Instead of jumping between Salesforce, Greenhouse, and Zendesk, your agent can pull employee lists, candidate statuses, sales contacts, and support tickets using one standardized set of tools. It connects your Merge.dev account to your AI client so you can query your entire business stack in one go.

## Description

Managing data across a dozen different platforms is a mess. You usually have to jump between tabs, copy data from a CRM into a spreadsheet, and then check a different tool to see if a candidate has actually signed their offer. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent talk directly to your Merge.dev account. It pulls everything into a single, standardized format. Instead of teaching your agent how to talk to ten different APIs, you just give it access to Merge. You can ask about your current headcount, check the status of a job application in your ATS, or pull a list of active support tickets without leaving your workspace. It's about having one source of truth that your agent can actually read. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can get it running in your favorite client in minutes, giving you a unified view of your business data without the manual overhead of managing multiple individual connections.

A recruiter wants to see the status of the last 5 candidates in the ATS. They use list_candidates to see who is ready for an interview.

### Verifying CRM account mapping
A developer needs to check the integration boundaries for a new customer. They use get_account_details to verify the current setup.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can the Merge MCP connect to multiple CRMs at once?**
Yes, it connects to your Merge.dev account, which can already manage hundreds of different integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.

**Does the Merge MCP work with my specific HRIS?**
If your HRIS is supported by Merge.dev (like Workday or BambooHR), then this Connector can access that data.

**How does the Merge MCP help with hiring?**
It lets your agent pull candidate lists and job applications directly from your ATS, making it easier to track your talent pipeline.

**Can I use the Merge MCP to see my support tickets?**
Yes, it can pull both inbound and outbound tickets from platforms like Zendesk or Jira.

**Is my data secure with the Merge MCP?**
The Connector uses your existing Merge.dev account permissions, ensuring that your agent only sees the data you've already authorized.

**What kind of data can I pull using the Merge MCP?**
You can pull employee lists, company info, sales contacts, customer accounts, and support tickets.

**Which integrations does Merge support through the unified API?**
Merge supports over 150+ integrations across HRIS (BambooHR, Workday), ATS (Lever, Greenhouse), CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), and Ticketing (Zendesk, Jira). Your agent can access all of them using the same standardized tools once the accounts are linked in Merge.

**How do I target a specific customer's data through the agent?**
Each request requires a `MERGE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` which uniquely identifies a linked account (e.g., a specific customer's integration). By providing this token along with your API key, your agent can retrieve data exclusively from that customer's connected platform.

**Can my agent list candidates from my ATS and support tickets from Zendesk at the same time?**
Yes. Since Merge unifies multiple categories, your agent can use the `list_candidates` and `list_tickets` tools in the same conversation to bridge data from different functional areas of your business instantly.
