Connect ApplicantStack MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect ApplicantStack to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Cline automates your ApplicantStack pipeline
You can tell Cline to find a specific person, and it will use `list_candidates` to search your database. It handles the filtering and parsing so you get the exact record you need. After identifying the right profile, the agent executes `get_candidate` to bring the details into your current task. It saves you from manual lookups during your coding workflow.
Manage job listings with this MCP Server
This MCP Server scans your active openings using `list_jobs` to keep your local environment updated. It pulls the metadata for every role currently in your ApplicantStack account. Cline uses this data to generate reports or update your project README files. It ensures your technical documentation matches your current hiring needs without manual syncs.
Move candidates through stages via Cline
Updating a candidate's status is a simple instruction for the agent. It triggers `update_candidate` to shift them to the next phase of your interview process. Cline confirms the move once the API responds. You stay in your flow while the backend records update automatically.
