AI candidate sourcing: find, review and shortlist talent worldwide from your AI assistant.
Overview
Lets an AI assistant source, review and shortlist hiring candidates worldwide through Talent Summoner.
- What it does
- Connects an AI agent to Talent Summoner so it can draft ideal candidate profiles, search for candidates, refine criteria and find more candidates within a session. It also supports reviewing and shortlisting candidates, requesting work-email lookups, and preparing outreach drafts. A companion skill guides the agent through the sourcing workflow.
- When to use it
- Useful for recruiters and hiring teams who want to run candidate sourcing and shortlisting from inside their AI assistant instead of the web app alone. Best when you already use Talent Summoner and want the agent to draft profiles, search, and prepare outreach.
- Requirements
- A Talent Summoner account and an API key created after signing in. The setup command runs in an interactive macOS, Linux, or Windows terminal with Node.js 22.20 or newer. A manual connection uses an HTTP MCP server endpoint with the API key as a Bearer token.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Talent Summoner in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- 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.
Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Talent Summoner for AI agents
Connect your AI agent to Talent Summoner to source and review hiring candidates. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection gives your AI agent sourcing tools, and the companion skill guides it through the workflow.
Quick start
-
Sign in to Talent Summoner and create an API key.
-
In an interactive macOS or Linux terminal, or Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt, with Node.js 22.20 or newer, run:
-
Select your AI agents, paste the key into the hidden terminal prompt, and let setup check the connection. It installs the MCP connection and skill for the AI agents you select.
-
Open or restart each AI agent, approve the connection if prompted, and ask: “Show my Talent Summoner sourcing sessions.”
Keep your API key out of AI agent chats, shell commands, and Git. Setup itself does not start sourcing or use a Role.
What you can do
- Draft an ideal candidate profile before searching: “Draft the ideal candidate profile for a senior React engineer in Berlin. Let me review it before searching.”
- Search for candidates, refine the criteria, and find more candidates in the same session.
- Review and shortlist candidates, and request work-email lookups.
- Prepare outreach drafts for shortlisted candidates.
Your AI agent asks before unlocking a Role for a session. You review and confirm outreach on the Talent Summoner website before sending.
Manage your connection
Rerun npx @talent-summoner/setup to replace a key or update the skill. To disconnect, revoke the key, then remove the talent-summoner MCP entry and skill from your AI agent. Setup displays their locations during installation.
If your AI agent does not show the tools after setup, restart it and check its MCP connection or workspace approval. Report a setup issue if the connection still fails.
Install the skill separately
If you have configured the Talent Summoner MCP connection yourself, install only the companion skill:
This command installs the skill instructions. It does not set up the MCP connection. Use one skill installation method per AI agent to avoid duplicate entries.
For a manual MCP connection, add an HTTP server at https://talentsummoner.com/api/mcp in your AI agent's MCP settings and authenticate with your API key as a Bearer token.
