Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 6 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Juggling candidate data across dashboards and spreadsheets is exhausting.
Today, you find candidate data in four places: the ATS dashboard, the email inbox (for invitations), the Google Sheet (for status tracking), and the video review platform. You spend minutes just copy-pasting status updates and cross-referencing IDs. It's a mess.
With the HRBlade MCP Server, your AI agent handles the data plumbing. You ask it to 'Show me all candidates who need follow-up,' and it uses `list_candidates` and `list_interview_responses` to deliver a consolidated, actionable report. You get the answers, not the tabs.
HRBlade MCP Server: Manage video ops from chat.
The manual steps that fall away include: logging into the ATS to see candidate status, manually drafting and sending the follow-up email, and then logging into the video platform to review the response. All of that process is eliminated.
You talk to your agent, and it manages the API calls—creating the interview via `create_interview`, sending the invite via `send_interview_invitation`, and summarizing the response via `list_interview_responses`. It's a single, uninterrupted workflow.
What you can do with this MCP connector
You're running a hiring pipeline, and you need to manage it all in one spot. The HRBlade MCP Server lets your AI agent handle everything from building interview templates to reviewing video responses, so you don't have to jump between tabs. You'll get a full overview of your candidates and the status of your interviews, right in your chat window.
Manage Interview Templates: You can use create_interview to build a new interview template, letting you specify custom questions, time limits, and instructions. Need to see what you've got? Use list_interviews to pull up a list of all existing interview templates.
Track Candidate Progress: You can see who's in the mix by running list_candidates to get a list of everyone in the recruitment pipeline. For deep dives, use get_candidate_details to fetch specific, detailed info on any candidate's profile.
Coordinate Interview Scheduling: To get someone started, use send_interview_invitation to send a personalized video interview invitation straight to a candidate's email, complete with custom instructions.
Review Video Responses: You can use list_interview_responses to list every video response submitted by candidates for you to review. You'll also use list_interview_responses to see all the video responses submitted by candidates for you to review. This lets you evaluate candidate answers and performance metrics right here.

How HRBlade MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the HRBlade server and provide your API key in your agent's settings.
- 2 Tell your agent what you need to do (e.g., 'List all candidates who responded last week' or 'Create a new template for Product Manager').
- 3 The agent executes the required tool calls, pulling data from HRBlade and presenting the results directly in your chat.
The bottom line is you manage the entire candidate lifecycle by talking to your AI agent, never leaving your chat window.
Who Is HRBlade MCP For?
Recruiters and Hiring Managers who spend too much time switching between the ATS dashboard, email, and spreadsheet. This is for the team that needs to process high volumes of candidates quickly, track status changes, and review video responses without manual data entry or context switching.
Creates new interview templates, sends personalized invitations, and reviews video responses without ever opening the HRBlade web dashboard.
Tracks pipeline progress and evaluates candidate video responses directly through the AI agent's summary output.
Scales asynchronous interviewing and manages large-volume candidate screening by automating data gathering across multiple tools.
What Changes When You Connect

list_interview_responsesto pull all video responses and evaluate candidate answers right from the agent chat, skipping the dashboard. - Scale your screening. Automate the setup by using
create_interviewto build complex templates with custom questions and time limits for any role. - Stay coordinated. Send invitations using
send_interview_invitationwith personalized details, ensuring every candidate gets the right prompt. - Keep track of everyone. Run
list_candidatesto get a real-time roster of every person in the pipeline, plusget_candidate_detailsfor deep background checks. - Never lose a template. Use
list_interviewsto see every single template you've ever created, so you know exactly what's available.
Real-World Use Cases
The First-Time Screener Needs a Template
A recruiter needs a technical screen for 'Data Scientist' but doesn't know how. They ask their agent: 'Create a 'Data Scientist' interview with 3 questions.' The agent uses create_interview to build the template instantly, which the recruiter then uses for subsequent candidate outreach.
Checking Status on a High-Volume Day
A hiring manager needs to know the status of 50 candidates. They ask: 'List all candidates and the latest responses.' The agent runs list_candidates and list_interview_responses, providing a consolidated report showing who responded, who is pending, and who is hired.
Following Up on a Specific Candidate
A recruiter needs to check Sarah Chen's full background. They ask the agent to use get_candidate_details for Sarah Chen. The agent pulls the full profile, allowing the recruiter to assess her status without navigating away from their workflow.
Mass Outreach for a Role Launch
A team launches a new role and needs to invite 20 people. They prompt the agent: 'Send an invitation for the 'Product Manager' role to this list of 20 emails.' The agent uses send_interview_invitation for mass coordination.
The Tradeoffs
Manual Status Tracking
Opening the HRBlade dashboard, clicking into a candidate's profile, copying the status, and pasting it into a separate Excel sheet for reporting.
→
Use list_candidates to generate a comprehensive list and get_candidate_details to pull specific status points directly into your chat log for immediate reporting.
Template Drift
Creating a new role, then manually remembering to update the interview questions in three different places (the old template, the job posting, and the tracking spreadsheet).
→
Always use create_interview to build the single source of truth. This ensures the template has the correct questions and time limits, centralizing your process.
Lost Responses
Relying on email follow-ups to track when a candidate submitted a video response, leading to missed follow-ups and delayed decision-making.
→
Run list_interview_responses to get an accurate list of every submission and see exactly when the candidate uploaded their answers.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your biggest bottleneck is context switching. If your hiring process requires moving data from an ATS dashboard, into an email, and then into a spreadsheet, you need this. It connects those steps into a single conversation. Don't use it if you don't have a structured, repeatable process—you need to define your interview templates first. If you only need to read static data (like a simple contact list), a basic database connector might suffice. But if you need to perform actions (create, send, review), this is the one.
Common Questions About HRBlade MCP
How do I use the `send_interview_invitation` tool with HRBlade? +
You pass the required candidate data (email, name) to your agent, and it sends the personalized video link. This tool sends invitations directly to the candidate's email address.
Can I use `create_interview` to build a template for a new job? +
Yes, create_interview lets you define a new template by title, and crucially, by specifying custom questions and time limits. This establishes a single source of truth for that role's assessment.
What does `list_interview_responses` actually show me? +
This tool lists all video responses submitted by candidates. It helps you review candidate answers and evaluate their performance metrics from the chat.
Can I track a candidate's full history using `get_candidate_details`? +
Yes. get_candidate_details pulls a full profile of a candidate, giving you a comprehensive view of their status and history within the HRBlade system.
How do I list all potential interview templates using the `list_interviews` tool? +
It shows every template you've created. This tool returns the titles, IDs, and current status of all templates, letting you see what's active or archived.
What information does `list_candidates` provide about my candidate pool? +
It gives a comprehensive list of every candidate. You get basic details, their current status (e.g., Invited, Responded), and when they were last active in the pipeline.
If I use `send_interview_invitation`, what format should the JSON data be in? +
The JSON needs candidate details, the specific interview template ID, and the email address. If any of these are missing, the tool will fail, so check your inputs first.
Is there a way to check a candidate's status using `get_candidate_details`? +
Yes, it reports the candidate's current stage in the hiring pipeline. You'll see their last recorded status, the associated job title, and their overall progress.
Can I create an interview template and send invitations to candidates? +
Yes. Use create_interview with a JSON payload containing the title, description, and an array of questions. Then use send_interview_invitation with the candidate's email, first name, last name, and the interview ID. The candidate will receive an email with a link to record their video responses.
Can I review all video responses submitted by candidates? +
Yes. The list_interview_responses tool retrieves all submitted video responses with candidate details, interview template reference, and submission timestamps. Use get_candidate_details to inspect a specific candidate's full profile and response history.
How does asynchronous video interviewing work with HRBlade? +
HRBlade enables one-way video interviews where candidates record responses at their own pace. You create a template with questions, send an invitation, and the candidate records video answers through a web link. You can then review all responses asynchronously without scheduling live calls. Use list_interviews to see all templates and list_candidates to track your pipeline.
