Perplexity

Team-wide job schema integration

Use `list_jobs` to fetch active job postings directly inside VS Code Copilot. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer on your team instantly gains access to live job IDs and department structures. Run `get_job` to pull full requirements and descriptions into your chat panel. This helps your team build and test job board features using identical, real-time specifications.

Validate tags and custom fields in the editor

Use `list_tags` to pull valid recruitment tags directly into VS Code Copilot. Your team can verify that tag-based filtering logic in your code matches the actual tags configured in your portal. Pair this with `get_candidate` to check how custom field values are structured. Your agent uses these real payloads to write precise TypeScript interfaces for your hiring integrations.

Manage pipeline stages with the Jobtoolz MCP Server

Use `list_stages` to retrieve the current hiring pipeline stages directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. This MCP Server ensures your development team builds stage-based workflows that match the actual business process. Run `list_users` to see who manages each stage of the process. Your agent can write test suites that assign mock candidates to these real hiring managers.
