What you can do with this MCP connector

Certn MCP Server handles everything from vetting HR applicants to managing full property management pipelines. You'll find that you don't need multiple systems; you just use your AI client and let it run all these checks inside your chat window.

For Human Resources & Recruiting

When you're screening a job candidate, you can first send an invitation using invite_hr_application, which sends the required screening info to their email or SMS. If they give consent later on, you run quick_hr_application for instant 'Quickscreen' vetting. You also have control over what gets checked by running add_hr_packages to append specific background check types to an existing HR application record.

To start, you can pull a list of all candidates and their current status by invoking list_hr_applicants. When the checks are done, you get reports: you can download the complete report as a standard PDF file using get_hr_report_pdf, or grab it in HTML format with get_hr_report_web. For immediate sharing, you generate a secure, hosted PDF link via get_hr_report_link; this link is good for one hour.

You can also check on an individual candidate's specific details by calling get_hr_applicant.

For Property Management & Tenant Screening

If you run property management, the server handles the full lifecycle. First, you can list every available rental unit in your system using list_pm_properties, or check out all current listings with list_listings. To bring a new tenant into the process, you use invite_pm_application to send the background check invitation via email for Property Management records.

You can perform an instant screening of any prospective tenant by running quick_pm_application. The system tracks every application through these tools; you view all current tenant applications using list_pm_applicants. Furthermore, if you need to build a new listing or record, you use create_pm_property to establish it in the platform.

Admin & Oversight Tools

You've got several ways to check on your organization structure and user access. You can pull a list of every individual who has an account connected using list_users. For team management, you retrieve established user teams with list_teams, or view all defined 'superteam' groupings within the company using list_superteams. To see what screening options are available to everyone, you call list_packages to get a list of applicable packages.

Cross-Functional Utility

These tools let you manage compliance tasks across both HR and PM. You can retrieve specific details for tenant applications using get_hr_applicant, which gives you status and detail info about an applicant, or see the entire inventory of job candidates with list_hr_applicants. The system keeps track of everything so you don't have to jump between tabs.

How You Use It

Your AI client executes these steps. For instance, if you want to check who needs follow-up on HR reports, your agent runs list_hr_applicants, and it spits out the details. If you need a list of all tenants currently waiting for review, you run list_pm_applicants. You never have to leave your chat interface; every action—from inviting an applicant with invite_pm_application to downloading a PDF report via get_hr_report_pdf—is one command away.

It keeps the whole operation clean and contained.

How Certn MCP Works

  1. 1 Subscribe to this server, providing your Certn Client ID and Secret.
  2. 2 Tell your AI client what you need (e.g., 'List all pending HR applications').
  3. 3 The agent executes the necessary tool (like list_hr_applicants) and reports the findings directly back to your chat window.

The bottom line is: your AI client talks directly to Certn's data, letting you handle complex screening workflows using natural language prompts.

Who Is Certn MCP For?

HR Managers and Property Managers who deal with high volumes of vetting are the primary users. If you spend time manually tracking application statuses across different spreadsheets or jumping between email/ATS to run a single background check, this is for you. It cuts out the switching costs.

HR Manager

Sends screening invites and checks candidate status without leaving their main communication tool.

Property Manager

Manages tenant applications, creates new listings, and screens prospective tenants directly through the AI agent.

Compliance Officer

Quickly accesses background check reports and verifies identity documentation needed for audits or compliance checks.

What Changes When You Connect

  • Automate the initial screening phase. Instead of manually logging into Certn to run a check, you prompt your agent with quick_hr_application or quick_pm_application. The result appears instantly in your chat window, letting you keep working without context switching.
  • Streamline report access and auditing. You don't have to wait for an email attachment; use get_hr_report_pdf or get_hr_report_web to download the full check results immediately. For temporary sharing, get_hr_report_link provides a secure link valid for one hour.
  • Manage complex workflows in two tools. The system handles both job candidate vetting and property tenant screening. You can use list_hr_applicants one day, and list_pm_applicants the next—all from the same chat interface.
  • Maintain compliance visibility across teams. Need to know who has access? Run list_users, list_teams, or check available checks with list_packages. This gives you an immediate overview of your organization's security posture.
  • Scale application management efficiently. You can invite multiple people using single tools like invite_hr_application or invite_pm_application. The agent tracks the applications, allowing you to run list_hr_applicants later for a status update.

Real-World Use Cases

01

Vetting a new hire quickly

An HR Manager needs to verify John Doe's background immediately. Instead of emailing him and waiting, the manager prompts: 'Run quickscreen for John Doe.' The agent uses quick_hr_application and returns a pass/fail status in seconds, letting the hiring decision move forward without delay.

02

Managing a portfolio of rentals

A Property Manager has 20 new tenants to check. They use the agent to run list_pm_properties first to confirm addresses, then loop through and invite all applicants using invite_pm_application. The system tracks every pending application in one place.

03

Auditing compliance records

A Compliance Officer needs proof of checks run last quarter. They ask the agent to 'List all HR applications and their reports.' The agent runs list_hr_applicants, shows pending IDs, and then uses get_hr_report_pdf for specific audit files.

04

Setting up a new department

A team lead needs to expand screening capabilities. They ask the agent to 'What checks are available?' The agent runs list_packages, allowing the lead to see all options and then use add_hr_packages for specific roles.

The Tradeoffs

Copying data between systems

Manually copying applicant emails from an ATS into a separate screening platform, or downloading PDF reports and then pasting data into Excel.

Let your agent handle the flow. Use list_hr_applicants to get statuses, and if you need detailed files, run get_hr_report_pdf. Everything stays within the chat context.

Over-relying on basic list tools

Running list_users but then having to ask follow-up questions about roles or team memberships. The data is too raw.

Use specific actions like checking teams with list_teams, or managing the application lifecycle using list_pm_applicants. Don't just list; act.

Forgetting report expiration

Saving a temporary link from get_hr_report_link and forgetting it expires in 60 minutes, resulting in an 'Access Denied' error.

If you need the data long-term, download the full file using get_hr_report_pdf. The hosted links are for temporary viewing only.

When It Fits, When It Doesn't

Use this server if your core job involves high-volume vetting—whether it's hiring candidates or screening tenants. You need to move data and process checks without leaving your chat client. Key tools like quick_hr_application and quick_pm_application are perfect for rapid decision-making.

Don't use this if you just need simple directory access (e.g., only listing users). For that, a basic user directory tool would suffice. However, if your process requires managing the status or outcome of an application—inviting someone (invite_hr_application), checking their details (get_hr_applicant), or generating a report—this is what you need. The value isn't in the data; it's in the action.

Always check list_packages first to see exactly which checks are available before attempting any screening.

Tracking applications means switching between three different dashboards.

Right now, vetting an applicant is a multi-step chore. You jump from your ATS (Applicant Tracking System) to the compliance platform, then maybe into email to send the invite. You're copy-pasting names and IDs across three different screens just to get a status update or run a check.

With Certn’s MCP Server, you talk to your agent. You say: 'Check John Doe.' The agent handles the handoffs—sending the invite via `invite_hr_application`, running the quick screen with `quick_hr_application`—and gives you the result right here in chat. No dashboard switching needed.

Certn MCP Server: Manage screenings from your AI client.

The manual steps that go away are the status checks and report downloads. Instead of navigating to a specific applicant's file, you just ask for it. Running `get_hr_report_pdf` is instant; no more hunting through folders or waiting for scheduled reports.

It's about process continuity. You manage entire workflows—from listing available packages (`list_packages`) to running the final check and getting a report—all in one conversation thread. It simplifies compliance from a series of clicks into a single command.

Common Questions About Certn MCP

How do I start screening new candidates using invite_hr_application? +

You simply tell your agent the candidate's name and email. The tool sends the invitation on your behalf, starting their background check application process automatically.

What is the difference between get_hr_report_pdf and get_hr_report_link? +

The PDF download (get_hr_report_pdf) gives you a permanent file to save locally. The link (get_hr_report_link) creates a secure, temporary web page showing the report data that expires after one hour.

Can I screen tenants using quick_pm_application? +

Yes. This tool performs an instant screening of prospective tenants for Property Management needs. It's designed to mirror the HR function but for real estate applications.

I need a list of all current job applicants, how do I use list_hr_applicants? +

Running list_hr_applicants gives you a summary view of every application record. It lets you see who is pending or completed without needing to check multiple lists.

What information can I get about available background check options using the `list_packages` tool? +

The list_packages tool returns a catalog of all screening packages offered by Certn. This lets you see package names, pricing tiers, and which specific checks (like CRC or Credit) are included in each bundle before you run an application.

How do I add a new rental property listing using the `create_pm_property` tool? +

To create a new property, just call create_pm_property. You'll need to provide details like the address, unit number, and key features. Once run, this generates a unique record in your Property Management system.

If I only need the status for one candidate, how do I use `get_hr_applicant`? +

You pass the specific Application ID to get_hr_applicant. This immediately retrieves all current details—including their screening status and next steps—without forcing you to list every applicant in your system.

Who can see the reports? How do I check user access with `list_users`? +

The list_users tool shows all accounts connected to your Certn platform. This is crucial for compliance, as it lets you verify exactly which users have permissions to view sensitive background check data.
