How to Use the Workable Alternative MCP in LangChain

Q: How do I search candidate data using Workable Alternative and LangChain?

You call listcandidates() first. Your agent processes that list, filtering or sorting records based on the initial criteria you provide in your prompt. This gives you a structured output to continue building from.

Q: Does Workable Alternative allow me to track job openings using LangChain?

Yes. You use listjobs() to get all current postings. The agent can then loop through that list, passing each unique jobid into other tools for deeper context checks.

Q: Can I get a list of recruiters using Workable Alternative and LangChain?

You can use the dedicated listrecruiters() tool. This gives you a current roster of available recruiters, which your agent can then reference when generating follow-up communication steps.

Q: If I need to check candidate details, how do I do it with Workable Alternative and LangChain?

You use the getcandidate(candidateid) tool. This function pulls specific, detailed records for a single person into your agent's working memory so it can proceed.

Discovering Candidates via the MCP Server

You can list all available candidates in Workable by calling `list_candidates`. This function returns a full roster, letting your agent decide who needs attention first. Need to check on someone specific? Use `get_candidate(candidate_id)` to pull up detailed profiles immediately. Your AI client uses this data point as the input for the next step in your ReAct chain.

Managing Job Postings with LangChain

Start by fetching job details using `get_job(job_id)`. This gives you the core requirements and scope of a role. Then, use `list_jobs()` to pull up all active openings at once. If your chain needs to compare multiple jobs, it can iterate through the output of `list_jobs()`, passing each job's data into subsequent processing steps.

Tracking Hiring Progress with Workable Alternative

The MCP Server includes a tool called `list_stages()`. This immediately tells your agent what the company's current hiring steps are. You can then combine this knowledge with specific job data using `get_job()`. This allows you to build logic where, for instance, if the stage is 'Final Interview,' the system knows exactly which next action to take in the chain.

Setup guide

Set up Workable Alternative MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Workable Alternative tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "workable-alternative-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Workable Alternative transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
