Connect Wizehire MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Wizehire to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Managing Candidates via the MCP Server
Need to update a candidate’s status? You can call `update_candidate_hiring_stage` directly. This tool moves candidates between defined stages—like 'Interview' or 'Hired'—without opening a single web page. Beyond stage updates, your agent handles the whole funnel. It can list all active job openings using `list_active_job_postings`, then grab details for specific roles with `get_job_details`. You set the goal, and Windsurf figures out the steps.
Listing Key HR Data Points
Windsurf lets you map out your whole team structure. Use tools like `list_hiring_team` to pull names of managers and members. You can also check where Wizehire operates using `list_office_locations`, or see who's on the hook by calling `get_current_user`. It’s all available for context reading. Checking job pipelines is easy too. Run `list_candidates` to get a roster of every person in your system, or check out active webhooks with `list_configured_webhooks`.
Creating and Retrieving Candidate Records
Starting a new hire process? You'll use `create_new_candidate`, which just needs a name and email to build the record. If you need more info later, running `get_candidate_details` pulls everything you need for that specific person. For high-level oversight, you can list every candidate with `list_candidates`. Plus, if your team member changes jobs or their status, you can use `get_job_details` to ensure everyone is looking at the right role.
