Read Taleez recruiting data; create or update candidates and add them to pools or jobs. For recruiting teams that authorize a scoped Taleez secret API key. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"taleez": {
"url": "https://taleez.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"taleez": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://taleez.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
Filter job postings by status or location, inspect a job and read its recruiting pipeline steps.
taleez_list_jobs taleez_get_job taleez_get_job_steps
Find a candidate by email and inspect their profile, applications and current pipeline steps.
taleez_list_candidates taleez_get_candidate taleez_get_candidate_applications
Find a talent pool and browse its candidates and their custom properties.
taleez_list_pools taleez_list_pool_candidates taleez_get_candidate_properties
Find the intended talent pool and candidate records, then associate the selected candidates with that pool.
Changes data · taleez_list_pools taleez_list_candidates taleez_add_candidates_to_pool
Read an existing candidate profile and change the requested contact or profile fields. Existing stored values are overwritten for the supplied fields.

The login page asks for your Taleez secret key.
Create it in Taleez → account settings → API & Webhooks (copy the secret key, not the public one) and give it the scopes you want to allow. Candidate read scope is required for login. Candidate contact details, CV/document links, recruiting notes and events you request pass to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider; connect only records you are authorized to share. When requested, tools create or update candidates, set properties or associate them with pools or jobs. They do not hire, reject or delete candidates. Revoke this dedicated key in Taleez to stop vendor access. Billing is per secret key; rotating it starts a new usage and billing identity.
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: the login page asks for your Taleez secret key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Taleez connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
taleez_list_jobs | read | List jobs List the job postings of the company (id, label, status DRAFT/PUBLISHED/DONE/SUSPENDED, contract, location, recruiter, unit, tags, visibility, public URL). Filter by status, contract, unit, city, tag, company label or visibility; sort by creation or publication date. Job and profile descriptions are only included with with_details. GET /0/jobs. |
taleez_get_job | read | Get job One job posting by id with its full details: descriptions, contract, location, recruiter, unit, tags, custom properties, public and application URLs. GET /0/jobs/{id}. |
taleez_get_job_steps | read | Get job pipeline steps The recruitment pipeline steps of a job in order (id, name, order). Use them to read where each candidate stands. GET /0/jobs/{id}/steps. |
taleez_get_job_statuses | read | Get job status history The status history of a job: each change (date timestamp, status DRAFT/PUBLISHED/SUSPENDED/DONE). GET /0/jobs/{id}/statuses. |
taleez_get_job_questions | read | Get job application questions The questions candidates answer when applying to a job (id, label, type, required, choices). GET /0/jobs/{id}/questions. |
taleez_get_job_filters | read | Count jobs by filter The total number of jobs and the job counts per status, contract, city, tag and company label (only values with at least one job). A quick overview of the hiring activity. GET /0/jobs/filters. |
taleez_list_job_properties | read | List job properties The custom job properties defined in the account (id, name, type, choices). GET /0/job-properties. |
taleez_list_candidates | read | List candidates List the candidates in the company (id, name, mail, phone, language, location, social links, unit, creation date). Filter by exact e-mail address to find one person. Custom properties only with with_props. Candidates contain personal data: use it only for the user's own recruiting. GET /0/candidates. |
taleez_get_candidate | read | Get candidate One candidate by id: name, mail, phone, language, location, social links, unit, CV link and custom properties. GET /0/candidates/{id}. |
taleez_get_candidate_applications | read | Get candidate applications Where a candidate stands: every application or association (type SPONTANEOUS, APPLICATION_TO_A_JOB, ASSOCIATED_TO_A_JOB...) with the job id, current pipeline step, rejected/hired dates and the step history. GET /0/candidates/{id}/applications. |
taleez_get_candidate_properties | read | Get candidate properties The custom property values of a candidate (property id, name key, type, value or choices). GET /0/candidates/{id}/properties. |
taleez_get_candidate_pools | read | Get candidate pools The talent pools a candidate belongs to (pool id, name, date added, referrer). GET /0/candidates/{id}/pools. |

taleez_get_candidate_events | read | Get candidate events The events (interviews, calls, meetings) scheduled with a candidate: subject, start/end, location, meeting URL, attendees. GET /0/candidates/{id}/events. |
taleez_list_candidate_properties | read | List candidate properties The custom candidate properties defined in the account (id, name, type, choices, disabled). Use the ids with taleez_set_candidate_properties. GET /0/candidate-properties. |
taleez_list_pools | read | List talent pools List the talent pools of the company (id, name, dates, recruiter). GET /0/pools. |
taleez_list_pool_candidates | read | List pool candidates The candidates in one talent pool. Custom properties only with with_props. GET /0/pools/{id}/candidates. |
taleez_list_recruiters | read | List recruiters List the recruiters (users) of the company. Use the ids to read who owns a job or to credit a new candidate. GET /0/recruiters. |
taleez_list_units | read | List units List the units (entities, subsidiaries, sites) of the company. Use the ids to filter jobs. GET /0/units. |
taleez_list_events | read | List events List the company's calendar events (interviews, meetings): subject, start/end timestamps, location, meeting URL, job id, attendees. GET /0/events. |
taleez_create_candidate | write | Create candidate WRITE: add a new candidate to the Taleez database (first and last name required; the e-mail, if given, must be unique in the company). Creates a record only: the candidate is not attached to a job and no e-mail is sent by this call. Not idempotent: calling twice with no mail creates two candidates. POST /0/candidates. |
taleez_update_candidate | write | Update candidate WRITE: change a candidate's name, e-mail, phone, social links or location. The current record is read first and unchanged name, mail and phone are sent back, so only what you pass changes (Taleez' update endpoint otherwise needs first and last name). Social links and location, when given, REPLACE the existing ones (an empty social_links object removes them all). Overwrites data; no message is sent. POST /0/candidates/{id}. |
taleez_set_candidate_properties | write | Set candidate properties WRITE: set custom property values on a candidate. For a property without choices pass value (DATE as yyyy-MM-dd); for a property with choices pass choices (choice ids, see taleez_list_candidate_properties). An empty choices list removes all selected choices unless append_choices is true. Overwrites the previous values of the listed properties. POST /0/candidates/{id}/properties. |
taleez_add_candidates_to_pool | write | Add candidates to a pool WRITE: add existing candidates to a talent pool (see taleez_list_pools). Adding a candidate already in the pool is harmless. No message is sent. POST /0/pools/{id}/candidates. |
taleez_add_candidates_to_job | write | Add candidates to a job WRITE: associate existing candidates to a job so they appear in its recruitment pipeline (the vendor's 'add candidates to a job'; this is an association made by the recruiter, not a candidate application, and this call sends no message). Pass location_id for a job with several locations. POST /0/jobs/{id}/candidates. |
taleez_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
taleez_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Taleez tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
taleez_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Taleez (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
taleez_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Taleez Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run taleez_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper secret API key | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this Taleez server only. Subscribe with taleez_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with taleez_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running taleez_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Taleez. The server calls the Taleez API with your own Taleez access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Taleez secret key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. 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: the login page asks for your Taleez secret key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Taleez API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Taleez.
Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 25 Taleez tools can create or change data. The other 20 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Taleez server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run taleez_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run taleez_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run taleez_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with taleez_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
