Superpower AI
When you want an AI agent to help source candidates, the Get on Board MCP Server connects your recruiter tools to Get on Board’s Talent Database. Search tech candidates in Latin America and find the best match for your open positions — straight from a brief, or, if you’ve already posted the role on Get on Board, by pointing your agent at it.
What an MCP server is
MCP means Model Context Protocol. An MCP server gives an AI client a controlled way to use external tools and data sources. Instead of copying data into a chat or building a custom integration for every agent, you connect the agent to a server that exposes specific actions.
For recruiting, that means your AI client can ask Get on Board for candidate search results through approved tools. The client does not receive broad database access, passwords, API keys, or unrestricted profile data.
How Get on Board’s MCP Server works
Get on Board’s MCP Server is a remote, OAuth-authenticated server at https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp. You paste that URL into a compatible MCP client, sign in to Get on Board in the browser, choose the company context you want to authorize, and approve the requested access.
The server currently exposes four recruiter tools:
whoami: confirms your Get on Board identity, active company, granted scopes, and available tools.search_talent: searches Talent Database from a natural-language brief of the ideal candidate. This is the core tool — you can call it directly with any brief.list_jobs(optional): lists your active hiring processes in the authorized company.job_details(optional): returns the full description and application questionnaire for one of your job postings. Useful when you want to source for a specific role without re-typing the brief.
list_jobs and job_details only return jobs that belong to the authorized company. The server is designed for recruiter team members with accepted company access. Talent Database availability depends on the company context and plan you authorize.
What you can do with it
Use the MCP Server when you want your agent to help with candidate discovery:
- Search for professionals by role, stack, seniority, country, English level, salary range, industry background, or other criteria you describe in plain text.
- Optionally point your agent at one of your open jobs in Get on Board so it can read the description and application questionnaire and feed that into the search automatically.
- Ask your agent to refine a search, compare returned profiles, or build a shortlist from the safe candidate summaries.
- Open Get on Board profile links to review full details in the web app.
The MCP Server returns profile links and safe summaries. Contact details, CV files, WhatsApp, and social URLs are not returned through MCP — open the profile in Get on Board to unlock contact information with credits, invite a candidate to a process, or continue the hiring workflow.
