### Description (declared)

# openrecruiter-mcp

Open Recruiter's recruiting tools, in any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor,
or anything else that speaks [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).

Two audiences, from one package. A recruiter asks *"who in my pipeline fits this CUDA
role?"* and their assistant ranks the candidates, reads the scores and explains the gaps. A
consumer app asks on a job seeker's behalf — *"机器学习工程师, 东京"* — and gets job cards
back, then submits a résumé to one of them.

Two transports, too: **stdio** for a client on the same machine, **streamable HTTP** for a
remote caller such as a chat backend. Nothing is uploaded anywhere except to the model
provider you have already configured.

```bash
pip install openrecruiter-mcp
openrecruiter-mcp --help
```

## Wire it into a client

Add one entry to your client's `mcpServers` config. For Claude Desktop that file is
`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS,
`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-recruiter": {
      "command": "openrecruiter-mcp",
      "args": ["--data-dir", "/absolute/path/to/your/pipeline"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
        "VOYAGE_API_KEY": "pa-..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Nothing to clone and nothing to keep running — the client starts the process when it needs it.

With [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) you can skip installing altogether:

```json
{
  "command": "uvx",
  "args": ["openrecruiter-mcp", "--data-dir", "/absolute/path/to/your/pipeline"]
}
```

<!-- readme-test: skip -->
```bash
# Not released to PyPI yet? Install the same thing straight from the repository:
uvx --from "git+https://github.com/miao4ai/open_recruiter.git#subdirectory=sdk/mcp" openrecruiter-mcp
```

## Tools

`--tools` picks the audience. They are separate sets because a job seeker's assistant has no
business calling `set_candidate_status`.

### `--tools recruiter` (the default)
