Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/ashby/create_offer

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Create an offer for an application in the Offer stage from your offer form fields.

Ashby MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/ashby.md

MCP tool: `ashby_write → create_offer`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Fills the Offer Details form with the values you give, keyed by field title as set under Admin > Offers > Offer Custom Fields, and submits it. The application must be in the Offer stage. With request_approval set it also submits the approval request, which notifies the approvers; with approvals on, no letter can go out until every step is done. Needs Organization Admin, or the permissions Can See Candidate Profiles, Can Add/Edit Candidates and Can See Private Fields. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `application_id` | string | yes | Application ID from list_applications or get_candidate. |
| `fields` | object | yes | Offer form values keyed by field title, for example {"Base salary": "95000"}. |
| `opening_id` | string | no | Opening ID, required when your organization turned on Require Openings for Hires. |
| `request_approval` | boolean | no | Submit the approval request after creating. Default: false. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
