Recruiterflow API and MCP server

Recruiterflow's official AI connector only reads, so agents cannot move candidates, add notes or create tasks, and API keys come from its support team. Sign in to Recruiterflow once in your own Cloud Browser, and your AI agent does the work there for you. The same tools work over MCP for agents and as a REST API for scripts.

Recruiterflow's own API leaves this out. So we run one for you.

How do I connect Recruiterflow to Claude, ChatGPT or my code?

AI agents connect over MCP, scripts call the REST API. Both reach the same 14 tools with one API key.

For AI agents: MCP

Add Cotlet to your agent once. Recruiterflow and every other app you connect show up as its tools.

  • ChatGPT
  • OpenClaw
  • Hermes
  • GrokBot
  • Cursor
  • n8n
  • Any MCP client

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
  https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "cotlet": {
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cotlet]
url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

For scripts: REST API

Every tool is an endpoint under /api/v1/recruiterflow with its own method and path, such as POST /api/v1/recruiterflow/candidates/{candidate_id}/notes, with the same API key. Our open-source repo has ready scripts to start from.

REST API docs

What can the Recruiterflow API and MCP server do?

14 tools on your own Recruiterflow account. Agents call them as operations of the MCP tools recruiterflow_read and recruiterflow_write; scripts call each one at its own REST endpoint, with the same inputs and answers.

Questions

Does Recruiterflow have an API?

Recruiterflow has an API, but its keys are not self-serve: you ask Recruiterflow support for a key tied to your workspace (checked 23 Oct 2026). Its official MCP for ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot is read-only, so an agent can search and read but cannot move candidates, add notes or create tasks.

How do I get access?

Sign up free, open Recruiterflow under Integrations in the console and press Request access. Your free trial starts with your account, no card needed.

Is the MCP server different from the API?

No, only the way in. Cotlet builds each integration as a REST API and puts an MCP server on top, so both have the same 14 tools, the same inputs and answers, one API key and one price. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use MCP; scripts, cron jobs and HTTP steps in n8n, Make or Zapier use the REST API.

What is the Cloud Browser?

Your own Chrome that Cotlet runs for you in the EU, around the clock. You open it from the console, sign in to Recruiterflow yourself and press Enable for agents. Your agent's calls go through it, from its IP with its cookies, so Recruiterflow sees the browser you signed in with. Password saving is off and the profile is stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

Can my agent act without asking me?

Not on anything that reaches other people: move_candidate_stage, disqualify_candidate, add_note, create_task, close_job wait for your OK by default. You can switch that off per tool for scheduled runs.

Do I need a Recruiterflow API key?

No. Cotlet works in your own signed-in Recruiterflow account, with your role. Recruiterflow's own API keys are issued by its support team on request and are tied to a workspace; the help center does not say which plan includes them (Recruiterflow Help, checked 23 Oct 2026).

Why does a stage move sometimes ask for more fields?

An admin can make fields mandatory on a stage under Settings > Job Settings > Customize Stage Settings, a feature of the Advanced Plan and Custom Plan. A move into a Hired stage usually asks for placement details and a move into a Rejected stage asks for a disqualification reason. The tool returns these questions and moves nothing until they are answered.

What does it not cover?

Text only: nothing uploads files or CVs. Sequences, Recipes, scorecards, placements and revenue, job creation and deletes are not built, and Cotlet never changes your account settings, users or billing. Official Recruiterflow MCP and your normal login keep working next to it.

Should I use a Recruiterflow MCP server from GitHub instead?

Pick one if you want the code on your own computer and do not mind the upkeep: you install it, sign it in and fix it when Recruiterflow changes. Pick Cotlet if you want it hosted and kept working for you.

Can I use it in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 in n8n's MCP Client node, or call the REST endpoints from an HTTP step in Make or Zapier.

Who runs Cotlet?

Cotlet is run by Take Group, a Polish software company working since 2019. Take Group runs about 3,200 websites on its own systems and has its own DevOps team for infrastructure security. We built and used integrations like this inside the company for years before opening them as Cotlet.

Is Cotlet affiliated with Recruiterflow?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Recruiterflow.
