Greenhouse is a leading applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting platform. The Greenhouse MCP server lets you manage candidates, applications, interviews, jobs, and scorecards through the Greenhouse Harvest API using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Manage candidates including create, update, delete, anonymize, and merge
  • View activity history for candidates and applications
  • Track applications through stages with reject, hire, and move actions
  • Schedule and manage interviews with interviewers and locations
  • Maintain jobs and job posts with notes and interview stages
  • Review scorecards with questions, answers, and candidate attributes
  • List and download attachments like resumes, cover letters, and offer packets

​
Where to Use It

Add Greenhouse as a tool to any agent. The agent can then interact with your recruiting data conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your Greenhouse account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Greenhouse tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “List all active candidates for the Engineering role”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Reject all applications for the closed Marketing Manager role” will list the job, find its applications, then reject each one. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
