Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server for TalentLyft recruiting: lets an assistant read jobs, candidates and applications, add candidate notes and move applications between stages.

What you can do
  • List and read jobs, job stages, pipelines and departments
  • List and read candidates, their activities and individual applications
  • List team members and rejection reasons
  • List calendar events such as interviews and meetings, filtered by date, job, candidate or member
  • Add a note to a candidate's timeline as a chosen team member
  • Move a candidate's application to another hiring stage
When to use it
Useful when a recruiter or hiring team wants to query their TalentLyft pipeline in natural language, for example open jobs and applicant counts, candidates for a given job or week, or interview schedules, and to log notes or advance applications without opening the ATS.
Requirements
Remote endpoint at talentlyft.usefulapi.io/mcp, added by URL only; sign-in is via OAuth and the login page asks for a TalentLyft Access token (found under Integrations in the TalentLyft profile). No local install, API key header or config-file keys. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are available.
Before you install
Two tools write to TalentLyft: adding a candidate note (visible to the team, each call creates a new note) and moving an application to another stage, which may trigger TalentLyft notifications to the candidate or team. Your TalentLyft Access token is stored per user by the third-party host. Usage is metered, and upgrade tools return payment links for paid plans.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open TalentLyft MCP by usefulapi 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/io.usefulapi%2Ftalentlyft/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

README

TalentLyft MCP by usefulapi

Use your TalentLyft account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Reads jobs, candidates, applications, stages and interview events, and adds candidate notes or moves applications to another stage. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://talentlyft.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://talentlyft.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http talentlyft https://talentlyft.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "talentlyft": {      "url": "https://talentlyft.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your TalentLyft credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/talentlyft/

On first connect you provide your TalentLyft Access token (profile icon → Integrations → TalentLyft Access token settings). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
