Build recruiting workflows in Cursor

The `get_candidate` tool delivers complete candidate profiles, contact details, and job associations directly to your Cursor agent via this MCP connection. Your editor uses this live context to generate code that interacts with real talent profiles instead of placeholder structures. This lets you build custom screening scripts or automated email parsers. You write functional code faster because your agent works with actual Join payloads.

Inspect live applications inside Cursor

The `list_applications` tool pulls current applicant summaries and submission details straight into your workspace. Cursor uses these records to let you write and test application processing pipelines on the fly. You combine this with `get_application` to inspect custom question responses. Your agent can then write precise data-mapping logic based on the real JSON structure of your Join applications.

Map your hiring structure with this MCP Server

The `list_jobs` tool outputs your active job postings so your Cursor agent can reference real job IDs and metadata. This tool acts as the foundation for building internal job boards or sync scripts. You can also call `list_departments` and `list_locations` to handle organizational taxonomy. Cursor reads these outputs to ensure your code handles office locations and team assignments correctly.

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".

Add the Join 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.
