# ATS Anywhere MCP MCP > ATS Anywhere gives your AI agent natural language access to your entire Applicant Tracking System. Stop clicking through dashboards and start asking questions about job openings, candidate pipelines, and team users directly from chat. It lets you audit roles, track applicants' current statuses, retrieve internal notes, and even create new jobs—all without leaving your chat window. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** applicant-tracking, job-posting, recruiting-lifecycle, hiring-workflow, candidate-management ## Description The ATS Anywhere MCP connects your AI agent straight into your core recruiting platform. You don't need to learn a complex API or navigate endless dashboards; you just talk to it. Your agent can handle the full lifecycle of hiring, from knowing which job listings are currently active and listing all employees with access to the system, to pulling up every detail on an applicant's file. For example, if you need to know why a candidate was rejected, your agent retrieves those private internal notes instantly. If you spot a gap in your pipeline, you can ask it to create a new job listing right there in the chat. This kind of power means you’re not limited by how fast you can click or what tabs you remember opening. It's all managed through Vinkius, giving you one connection point to manage everything from candidate data to site management. ## Tools ### create_job This tool allows you to write and submit a completely new job listing into the system. ### get_account_check It verifies that your connection credentials are still active and working with ATS Anywhere. ### get_applicant_notes This tool fetches private internal notes related to an applicant's file, like interview feedback. ### get_applicant You retrieve the complete profile, history, and contact details for one specific job applicant. ### get_job You get all the detailed metadata for a single, specific job opening. ### list_applicants It generates a list of every current applicant in the system, often allowing filtering by status or role. ### list_jobs This function lists all job openings currently published within ATS Anywhere. ### list_sites You can get a full inventory of every company site or subdomain connected to the recruitment platform. ### list_users It provides an overview and list of all users, including recruiters and administrators, associated with the account. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active job openings in my ATS account. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your active jobs.

Instead of logging into the ATS and digging through separate note sections, they ask their agent to `get_applicant_notes` for John's ID. The agent pulls up three key notes instantly, highlighting positive feedback from the initial screening. ### Expanding the job catalog The TA lead knows they need a new role but doesn't have time to fill out the full form. They simply ask their agent to `create_job` for 'Product Marketing Manager,' providing just enough context, and the agent handles the initial setup. ### Checking site consistency The marketing team wants to ensure all regional offices are linked correctly. They prompt the agent to use `list_sites` to generate a list of every subdomain connected to the platform, ensuring nothing was missed. ### Auditing role status across sites A recruiter needs to know if 'Financial Analyst' is open at all company locations. They ask the agent to `list_jobs` and filter by job title, getting a consolidated list of openings from every site. ## Benefits - Audit your job openings instantly: Instead of clicking through the job management dashboard, you can just ask to list all active roles using the `list_jobs` tool. It saves time right away. - Deep dive into candidate history: You don't have to guess where internal notes are stored. Use `get_applicant_notes` and your agent pulls up specific feedback from any interviewer, immediately. - Keep data current: If you need to start a new role, using the `create_job` tool lets your agent draft and submit the listing right in the chat context. - Know who has access: Need to check permissions? The `list_users` tool gives you an immediate roster of every recruiter and administrator on the account. - Full pipeline visibility: You can use `list_applicants` to see a quick snapshot of your entire candidate pool, letting you track statuses without manual dashboard navigation. ## How It Works The bottom line is: your AI client uses natural language to run complex queries against your ATS database. 1. First, you connect your preferred AI client to the Vinkius catalog. You authenticate with your API credentials. 2. Next, you ask your agent a specific question, like 'Show me all applicants for marketing roles.' The agent sends a request through this MCP's tools. 3. Finally, it returns a clean summary of the data—the names, statuses, and details you need—without forcing you to navigate away from the chat. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I check if the ATS Anywhere MCP connection is working?** You use `get_account_check`.
