MCP

The SmartRecruiters API Platform Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with the SmartRecruiters API Platform API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to access external data sources and tools securely. The SmartRecruiters API Platform MCP server provides AI agents with:

• Direct API access to The SmartRecruiters API Platform functionality
• Documentation search capabilities
• Real-time data from your SmartRecruiters API Platform account
• Code generation assistance for SmartRecruiters API Platform integrations

The SmartRecruiters API Platform MCP Server Setup

The SmartRecruiters API Platform hosts a remote MCP server at https://developers.smartrecruiters.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smartrecruiters": {
      "url": "https://developers.smartrecruiters.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
3. Ask about The SmartRecruiters API Platform - try questions like:
   • "How do I [common use case]?"
   • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
   • "Create a [integration type] using The SmartRecruiters API Platform"

The AI should now have access to your SmartRecruiters API Platform account data and documentation through the MCP server.
