Manage hiring data with the MCP Server

Need to know who's in the system? The `list_candidates` tool lets every developer pull a list of all current applicants. This shared visibility means your whole team works off the same, up-to-date recruitment roster. Developers can also use tools like `get_job_details` to ensure that any code they write referencing job IDs is using accurate, vetted information.

Streamline workflow with Wizehire's MCP Server

Team-wide configuration via `.vscode/mcp.json` makes sure everyone uses the same tools. You can use `list_configured_webhooks` to see which external systems are connected, giving your team full visibility into data flow. This centralized control means onboarding new developers is easy; they just inherit the entire Wizehire toolset automatically.

Audit hiring status using VS Code Copilot

Your agent can run `update_candidate_hiring_stage` to simulate or track changes in a candidate's lifecycle. This is perfect for building testing environments or auditing current processes. It also lets you use `list_hiring_team` to pull the names and roles of every manager involved, keeping team codebases aligned with HR reality.
