Script your Greenhouse tasks in CLI

Use `list_jobs` or `list_departments` to pull recruitment data into your shell. This allows you to pipe output directly into other command-line utilities. It removes the need for manual reporting. You can build automation around your hiring pipeline using standard terminal commands.

Automate candidate creation via terminal

Trigger `create_candidate` directly from your command line. It’s ideal for internal tools or scripts that need to push candidate records to the ATS. This MCP Server provides the raw access you need for headless operations. You define the input and let the server handle the API transaction.

Audit your hiring pipeline

Run `list_applications` to get a snapshot of current candidates. Claude Code displays the data in your terminal for immediate analysis. It’s built for engineers who prefer the terminal over a GUI. You get the same granular control over your recruitment data without leaving your shell session.
