How to Use the Jobvite MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Jobvite integration inside Cursor?

Add the server block to your .cursor/mcp.json file to add the MCP server. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your Cursor chat to let the editor run tools like listjobs.

Q: Does Cursor support bulk candidate imports into Jobvite?

Cursor can loop through a local data file and call createcandidate multiple times. The MCP Server processes these requests safely, allowing you to populate your pipeline from your editor.

Q: How do I debug API errors when querying jobs?

If getjob fails, Cursor displays the exact API error in your terminal or chat window. You can ask the editor to rewrite your query parameters to fix the issue.

Build custom recruitment workflows in Cursor using live Jobvite candidate and job requisition data.

Write recruitment scripts in Cursor with live Jobvite data

Stop writing code against mock objects or stale spreadsheets. When editing your sourcing scripts, this MCP Server lets Cursor run `list_candidates` to inject real, live candidate profiles directly into your workspace. Your agent uses `get_candidate` to pull deep profile details while you write custom screening algorithms. This ensures your code handles actual API payloads from the start, avoiding production errors.

Map application pipelines directly in the Cursor editor

Testing status transitions is easier when your editor can talk to your ATS. Cursor uses this Jobvite MCP Server to run `update_application_status` to test pipeline updates directly from your active code file. You can also query your active openings using `list_jobs` to verify that your referral script matches candidates to the correct active requisitions.

Automate candidate creation using Cursor agent mode

If you are building an automated outbound sourcing tool, let Cursor's agent run `create_candidate` to test your parser's output. The agent writes the parsing logic and immediately verifies it by pushing a test profile. If the test profile needs adjustments, the agent calls `update_candidate` to refine the record. You watch the code run and see the database update in real time.

1

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".
