Build Live Recruitment Dashboards

This MCP Server lets Cline access your live HireVue data. Ask it to 'build a React component showing all open engineering jobs.' Cline will call `list_positions`, get the data, and then write the actual component code for you, complete with props and state management. You get a working file, not just a data dump. Cline can also use `get_interview` to build a real-time view of your team's upcoming interview schedule. It's the fastest way to create internal recruiting tools.

Script Repetitive Recruiting Actions

Use Cline to generate scripts that manage HireVue. For example, say 'Write a script to cancel all pending interviews for the closed 'QA Analyst' position.' Cline will figure out the position ID, find the associated interviews, and write a script that correctly calls the `cancel_interview` tool for each one. It presents the plan and the code for your approval before running anything. This gives you the speed of automation with the safety of a human-in-the-loop review. You can also ask it to generate scripts to `update_candidate` statuses in bulk.

Generate Candidate Reports with Cline

Turn raw candidate data into formatted reports instantly. Give Cline a prompt like, 'Create a markdown summary of all candidates for the Senior PM role.' It will use the `get_candidate` tool to fetch the profiles and then generate a clean, readable report for you to share with the hiring manager. This isn't just about fetching data; it's about structuring it. Cline understands your intent and uses the MCP tools to gather the necessary information from HireVue, then presents it in the format you need.

Common questions about HireVue MCP in Cline

Yes. Cline excels at this. You can ask it to generate Node.js or Python scripts that use the `create_interview` and `cancel_interview` tools to automate your scheduling workflow.

The easiest way is through the MCP Marketplace in the Cline sidebar for a one-click install. You can also add the server's URL manually in the 'Remote Servers' tab.

No, not without your permission. Cline will propose a plan and show you the exact tools it wants to use, like `update_candidate` or `create_interview`. You have to approve the changes before it executes them.

You can build anything from internal dashboards that track interview pipelines to notification bots that alert your team about candidate status changes. Because Cline writes the code, you're not limited to pre-built integrations.

Cline processes your HireVue candidate and interview data locally within your VS Code instance. The MCP connection is direct; your data is not stored or logged by Cline's own systems.
