Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that turns a role description into recruiter-grade boolean and x-ray search strings for sourcing candidates.

What you can do
  • Generate boolean search strings from a role description, with expanded title variants and practitioner skill terms
  • Produce LinkedIn x-ray strings with exact-phrase locations and open-web resume strings with area-code location groups
  • Get iteration advice alongside the generated strings
  • Read background on the playbook, the pay-per-call API pricing, the Chrome extension and how agents pay
When to use it
Useful when a recruiter or sourcing workflow needs ready-made boolean and x-ray search strings for a role instead of writing them by hand, and the assistant should return production-style strings plus iteration guidance.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at sourcerdesk.com; no package, environment variable or header is declared. A role description is required, and a city or metro location is optional. Beyond the free daily allowance, calls are paid per use.
Before you install
Calls are metered: a limited number of free calls per day and IP, then roughly two cents per call paid via x402 in crypto (Nano, or USDC on Base or Polygon), so an assistant could spend money. Generation takes one to three minutes per call. The role description you submit is sent to a third-party service, and the underlying playbook is proprietary.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Sourcers Desk in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.sourcerdesk%2Fsourcers-desk/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Sourcer's Desk API — documentation

Pay-per-call recruiting expertise for AI agents and developers: POST a role description, get back production-grade boolean/x-ray search strings the way a 20-year recruiter actually writes them.

Live endpoint: POST https://sourcerdesk.com/api/v1/boolean

  • What you get: expanded title variants (OR'd, capped where noise starts), practitioner "shibboleth" skill terms, LinkedIn x-ray strings with exact-phrase locations, open-web resume strings with area-code location groups, iteration advice.
  • Pricing: 3 free calls/day/IP, then ~$0.02 per call via x402 on three rails — 0.05 XNO (feeless Nano), or $0.025 USDC on Base or Polygon.
  • Quality: blind A/B-evaluated against a bare same-model LLM before launch — the playbook engine was preferred 10/10. Methodology and caveats: EVAL.md.
  • For recruiters using Claude or ChatGPT: add it as an MCP connector in about 30 seconds, no wallet needed — MCP.md.

What this repo is (and is not)

This is the public documentation. The playbook itself — the encoded judgment the API sells — is private and is not in this repository or any public one. The engine's outputs are yours to use freely; the rules that produce them are the product.
