Live pipeline data inside Cursor

Stop context switching when you need to verify an API integration. You can call `list_applications` to pull real records into your chat window, allowing you to write code that actually reflects your current hiring data. Your AI agent works with live objects, not stale mocks. It is the fastest way to debug your recruitment tools while staying inside your editor.

Automate partner tracking

Generate tracking links for job boards without leaving your code. Using `create_partner_tracking_link`, you can programmatically distribute links and then use `list_partner_jobs` to see how those positions are performing. It turns your editor into a control center for your job board distribution. You spend less time in the browser and more time building features.

Audit your ATS activity

Keep a close eye on system events by calling `get_audit_log_events` directly from your terminal. It helps you track exactly when an application was updated or deleted by your automated agents. This level of visibility is vital when you are building complex recruiting automations. You see the result of every API interaction in real time.
