How to Use the HireVue MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I restrict which HireVue tools a CrewAI agent can access?

You can use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp with a toolfilter to expose only specific HireVue tools to your CrewAI agents. For example, you can allow a sourcer agent to use listpositions while blocking them from cancelling interviews.

Coordinate a crew of specialized CrewAI agents to manage HireVue candidates and schedule interviews autonomously.

Multi-Agent HireVue Screening with CrewAI

Deploying the `create_candidate` tool enables a specialized CrewAI sourcer agent to register new talent profiles directly from external job boards into HireVue. A separate CrewAI coordinator agent then uses `get_candidate` to verify their HireVue application details before proceeding. This division of labor ensures that HireVue candidate profiles are thoroughly vetted by different CrewAI agents before any data is updated. The CrewAI agents share memory to keep track of HireVue progress without duplicating efforts.

Autonomous HireVue Scheduling Teams

Triggering the `create_interview` tool allows your CrewAI scheduling agent to send out HireVue interview invitations once a candidate is approved. If a candidate requests a change, a CrewAI moderator agent can call `cancel_interview` to clear the old HireVue slot. Monitoring the status with `get_interview` helps the CrewAI crew escalate unresponsive HireVue candidates to a human recruiter. This keeps your HireVue hiring pipeline moving without requiring constant manual supervision from your CrewAI team.

Job Matching via HireVue MCP Server Tools

Accessing the `list_positions` tool gives your CrewAI research agent access to all open HireVue roles within your organization. The CrewAI agent can analyze the requirements of each role by calling `get_position` to ensure accurate HireVue matching. When a matching HireVue role is identified, the CrewAI agent calls `update_candidate` to link the applicant to the active position. This automated matching process helps your CrewAI team handle high-volume HireVue hiring surges efficiently.

Setup guide

Set up HireVue MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke HireVue tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="HireVue Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze HireVue data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct HireVue access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent HireVue transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="HireVue Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze HireVue data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct HireVue access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent HireVue transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
