Connect Greenhouse MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Greenhouse to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Full visibility into Greenhouse jobs
Cascade reads your open roles directly from the ATS. It uses `list_jobs` and `list_departments` to map out your current hiring needs in real-time. Stop digging through web dashboards. Windsurf brings the data into your active workspace so you can reference active requisitions while you write your technical assessment code.
Automated candidate record creation
When you find a qualified lead, use `create_candidate` to push their profile into the system immediately. You provide the details, and the agent handles the API call. This MCP Server removes the friction of manual data entry. You stay in your flow while your recruiter account stays updated with new talent.
Deep dive into application status
Need to check where a hire is in the process? Use `get_application` or `get_candidate` to pull specific details into your chat window. Windsurf cross-references this info with your local project files. You get clear context on candidate progress without ever opening a browser window.
