Perplexity

Build hiring dashboards with the Ashby MCP Server

Writing internal tools for your recruiting team usually takes days of API wrangling. You can skip that entirely by pointing your agent at the API endpoints. Just tell it to build a candidate pipeline view, and it starts pulling live data using `list_ashby_candidates` and `list_ashby_jobs`. The autonomous engine writes the React components, fetches the payload, and renders the interface. If a specific applicant needs deeper inspection, it writes the logic to trigger `get_ashby_application`. You get a working dashboard without writing a single fetch request yourself.

Direct ATS write access

Moving data from a sourcing spreadsheet into your tracking system is boring work. Hand that task over to your editor's MCP Server integration. Provide a CSV file and ask your agent to parse the rows and fire `create_ashby_candidate` for every entry. Watch as the terminal executes the loop, creating records one by one. It can even cross-reference existing users by calling `list_ashby_users` to assign the right recruiter to each new profile. The grunt work disappears.

Analyze interview performance

Figuring out where candidates drop off requires looking at a lot of historical data. Your VS Code agent can pull all recent notes by executing `list_ashby_feedback`. It reads the raw JSON, formats the scores, and writes a markdown report right in your workspace. Connecting the dots becomes trivial. The system cross-checks those notes against specific roles via `get_ashby_job` to identify which open positions have the toughest technical screens. Real answers replace raw API responses.

Common questions about Ashby MCP in Cline

Click the server icon in your sidebar. Navigate to the Marketplace tab for a one-click install, or paste the Vinkius URL under the Remote Servers tab.

The current toolset focuses on reading schedules via `list_ashby_interviews`. You cannot create new calendar events or send invites through this specific integration.

It executes tasks sequentially. If you ask for a specific applicant's history, it runs `list_ashby_candidates` to find their ID, then passes that ID into `get_ashby_candidate`.

Yes, that is exactly what it does. You can ask it to generate a reporting script, and it will write the Python code while testing it against live `list_ashby_applications` endpoints.

Vinkius uses a zero-trust architecture for all connections. When your editor requests candidate phone numbers, email addresses, or interview scores, the transaction happens in an isolated, ephemeral sandbox.
