How to Use the JobScore MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf Cascade use the JobScore MCP Server to find candidates?

Cascade uses listcandidates to fetch your talent pipeline and then calls getcandidate for deep-dive profiles. It executes this entire sequence autonomously when you ask about specific applicants.

Q: Can I filter JobScore roles by department inside Windsurf?

Yes. Cascade uses listdepartments to identify your business units and matches them against active roles fetched via listjobs.

Q: How do I check if my connection to the hiring API is working?

Use getme to verify your current authenticated user status and confirm that your API token is active.

Let Windsurf Cascade pull applicant details and job specs from JobScore to build pipeline reports and prepare you for interviews.

Review Candidates with Windsurf Cascade

The `get_candidate` tool lets your Windsurf agent inspect application stages and contact histories directly in your workspace. You ask Cascade to prep you for an upcoming 2:00 PM interview, and it pulls the candidate's background details immediately. Instead of clicking through browser tabs, Cascade chains this with `list_candidates` to find the exact profile. The agent scans the active talent pool, flags missing details, and summarizes the applicant's journey without manual prompting.

Audit Job Openings and Departments

The `list_jobs` tool retrieves active positions, titles, and department associations from your JobScore account. Cascade reads your local workspace context, matches open roles with your current engineering sprints, and flags which positions need technical screeners written. To organize these roles, the agent runs `list_departments` alongside `list_locations` to map out where your team is hiring. You get a clear, localized view of your department-specific hiring goals without writing a single custom MCP Server wrapper.

Build Custom Recruiting Dashboards

The `list_sources` tool exposes where your applicants originate, whether that's LinkedIn, direct referrals, or job boards. Cascade uses this tool to pull raw channel performance data and write it directly into your local dashboard code. By combining this with `list_hiring_teams` and `list_users`, your Windsurf agent maps out which internal recruiters own which channels. You end up with a fully populated, functional dashboard file that matches your live recruiting team structure.
