SmartRecruiters MCP server

What the model can do

SmartRecruiters hiring: search jobs and candidates, read a candidate's applications, status history and reviews, the company's users, rejection and withdrawal reasons and job functions and industries; can tag and review candidates, create, correct and delete candidates, move a candidate's status on a job or remove their application, create jobs, change their status, publish or unpublish them, replace a job's note, add or remove hiring-team members, and schedule or delete interviews, when you ask.

Acts, when you ask

These change something in SmartRecruiters. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and each one is granted by name: per team on a shared connection, by the owner on a personal one.

Connect it

First connect SmartRecruiters on Dashboard → Connections, then add Memtro to your client once. The SmartRecruiters tools appear alongside the tools of everything else you have connected; nothing is configured per connector.

Who may use it

The key identifies the person, and the server offers that person the tools they may use everywhere else in Memtro. A shared SmartRecruiters connection is used by the teams an administrator granted it to, tool by tool, on the Permissions page; a personal connection is used by its owner alone, and its tools that act stay off until the owner allows them. See Teams and permissions and Connectors.

Questions

Is this an official SmartRecruiters MCP server?

No. It is Memtro's MCP server with Memtro's SmartRecruiters connector behind it: the connector reads SmartRecruiters through its API with the credentials you connect on Dashboard → Connections, and SmartRecruiters publishes nothing here. The same endpoint carries every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools.

What does it cost?

Nothing on top of Memtro. One price per organisation by its number of users, from $50 a month for up to 10 users after a 7-day free trial, with every connector, the MCP server, jobs and memory included. You bring your own model keys.

Can it change anything in SmartRecruiters?

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add tags to a candidate (existing tags are kept); record a 1 to 5 review of a candidate for a job, as a named reviewer; move a candidate to a new status on a job (rejection or hire may email them, per the account's automation); create a candidate, on a job or in the talent pool; correct a candidate's name, email, phone or location; delete a candidate, or their application to one job (permanent); create a draft job; change a job's status (sourcing, on hold, filled, cancelled...); publish a job to career pages and job aggregators, or unpublish it; replace a job's internal note; add a user to a job's hiring team, or remove them; schedule an interview for a candidate, or delete one made through the API. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. An administrator grants each acting tool by name per team, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Which clients work?

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs. There is no local process to run; the server is remote and authenticated with your key.
