Generate real candidate lists in Cursor

The `list_applicants` tool lets you pull real applicant data right into your active Cursor workspace. When you're building a dashboard, your agent can call this tool to fetch active profiles. Cursor uses the actual schema from `get_applicant` to write typed TypeScript interfaces that match your live ATS. You get code that works with real API responses on the first run.

Debug hiring pipelines with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `get_account_check` to verify your API connection directly in Cursor. It checks if your credentials are valid without you leaving the editor to run curl commands. Your agent can inspect the active sites returned by `list_sites` to verify that your frontend router points to the correct ATS Anywhere subdomains.

Build custom job boards directly in Cursor

The `list_jobs` tool lets Cursor query active openings to display in your sidebar. Building a custom careers page is faster when your AI editor uses this MCP tool to check active positions. You can ask the editor to generate a layout based on the exact fields returned by `get_job`. It writes the frontend code while referencing real, active job descriptions.
