AI AI‑Recruit

Setup guide

Connected in about two minutes

One API key, one URL, and AI-Recruit works inside your AI tool. Pick yours below — the steps are almost identical everywhere.

Before anything else: get your API key. Sign in at ai-recruit.io/for-recruiters and copy your personal key. The free plan needs no credit card. Your connector URL is:

https://api.ai-recruit.io/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied. Treat it like a password — anyone with the URL can use your search credits.

Claude ChatGPT Cursor

Claude

Works in Claude on the web and in the Claude desktop app. Custom connectors are available on Claude's paid plans.

  1. Open connector settings

    In Claude, click your initials (bottom-left) → Settings → Connectors.

  2. Add a custom connector

    Click Add custom connector. Name it AI-Recruit and paste your connector URL:

    https://api.ai-recruit.io/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY

  3. Save and start a new chat

    Claude will show AI-Recruit in the tools menu of new conversations. Make sure it's toggled on.

  4. Run your first search

    Try this"Find bilingual project managers in Osaka with construction industry experience"

ChatGPT

Custom MCP connectors in ChatGPT require a paid plan (Plus, Pro, or Team) and developer mode switched on — that's a one-time toggle.

  1. Turn on developer mode

    In ChatGPT: profile icon → Settings → Connectors → Advanced settings → switch on Developer mode.

  2. Create the connector

    Back under Connectors, click Create. Name: AI-Recruit. MCP server URL:

    https://api.ai-recruit.io/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY

    Authentication: No authentication (your key is already in the URL). Save.

  3. Enable it in a chat

    In a new conversation, open the tools (+) menu and make sure AI-Recruit is enabled.

  4. Run your first search

    Try this"Find heads of partnerships at Japanese logistics companies"

Cursor

Handy if you live in your editor — search people without switching windows.

  1. Open MCP settings

    In Cursor: Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server. Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-recruit": {
      "url": "https://api.ai-recruit.io/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

  2. Save and check the connection

    The MCP settings page should show ai-recruit with a green status. Restart Cursor if it doesn't appear.

  3. Run your first search

    Try this"Find senior backend engineers in Tokyo with fintech experience and business-level English"

Stuck? The two most common fixes: (1) check the URL has your real key in it, not the words YOUR_API_KEY; (2) start a fresh chat after adding the connector — existing chats don't pick up new tools. Still stuck? Reach us via ai-recruit.io.
