Perplexity

Prototype with real job data

The HireVue MCP Server lets Cursor pull live job reqs directly into your editor. You ask the agent to fetch open roles, and it runs `list_positions` to grab the actual JSON response. When you are building the detail view for a specific job, Cursor runs `get_position`. It drops the real schema right into your file. You stop guessing what the API returns and start writing types that actually match production.

Test candidate workflows

Testing a custom application form requires `create_candidate` to verify the data saves correctly. You tell your AI client to submit a test applicant. It confirms the database accepted the payload. If you need to write logic for status changes, the agent can test it live. It uses `update_candidate` to modify the test record, then verifies the change with `get_candidate`. You know your code works before you even commit it.

Validate scheduling logic

Building scheduling logic requires `create_interview` to generate real video links for your integration tests. Cursor helps you build these tests by actually managing appointments. Once your code verifies the link, the agent cleans up after itself. It runs `get_interview` to check the status, then fires `cancel_interview` to remove the test data. This MCP setup keeps your testing environment clean.

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".

Add the HireVue MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.

Common questions about HireVue MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root. Add the connection details and flip on Agent mode in your chat panel.

Yes. The agent fetches real responses from the endpoints and uses that data to generate accurate assertions for your test suite.

It can if you give it a production token. Always use a sandbox API key in your environment variables when testing.

The agent reads the HTTP headers from the API response. If it hits a limit, it backs off automatically before trying the request again.

The system transmits applicant names, phone numbers, and job IDs. Cursor passes this directly to the endpoint, keeping your PII out of third-party logs.
