Greenhouse runs its own MCP server for Recruiting data, so start there if you are a Greenhouse customer. It is in open beta, and a Site Admin has to turn it on and approve each AI tool before anyone can connect. Until a Site Admin enables more, it has only read scopes, and it blocks every delete action. Community servers are for different jobs, such as reading public job boards or running your own server against the Harvest API.

Good for

  • Recruiters who want quick answers on pipelines, stages and stalled candidates
  • Hiring managers who want scorecard and debrief summaries
  • Greenhouse Site Admins who want governed AI access
  • Researchers and job seekers who want open roles at any company

Which Greenhouse MCP server to use

Use Greenhouse MCP if your company is on Recruiting Core, Plus or Pro. Pick open-greenhouse-mcp to run your own server with a read-only profile, and ATS Jobs or Multi-ATS Jobs to read public job listings with no account.

Questions

Is there an official Greenhouse MCP server?

Yes. Greenhouse hosts its own server, and it is in open beta for Greenhouse Recruiting Core, Plus and Pro. A Site Admin has to turn it on and approve each AI tool before anyone can connect.

What is the Greenhouse MCP server URL?

For a Claude custom connector, use https://mcp.greenhouse.io/mcp. For Claude Code and ChatGPT, Greenhouse's setup guide uses https://mcp.us.greenhouse.io/mcp.

Why won't my AI tool connect to Greenhouse?

A Site Admin must first add the tool as an approved client in Dev Center, under MCP Access. This applies to Claude and ChatGPT too. Until then, sign-in fails with a redirect address error.

Does Greenhouse MCP work in ChatGPT?

Yes. Greenhouse's guide has you create an app in ChatGPT's Developer Mode with the Greenhouse address, then sign in. A Site Admin must allow ChatGPT first.

Does Greenhouse MCP work in Claude?

Yes. In Claude, add a custom connector with the Greenhouse address and sign in. In Claude Code, run the add command from Greenhouse's guide, then sign in in your browser. A Site Admin must allow it first.

Can the Greenhouse MCP server delete candidates?

No. Greenhouse blocks every delete action. Rejecting, hiring, merging or anonymizing a candidate stops and asks you to confirm first.

How do I make Greenhouse MCP read-only?

A Site Admin turns on only the read scopes in Dev Center, under MCP Access. Greenhouse says it uses a read-only default set if nobody has set it up. With open-greenhouse-mcp, set the read-only profile, which has 104 tools and no writes.

Is Greenhouse MCP free?

It is in open beta for Recruiting Core, Plus and Pro customers, and Greenhouse does not publish a separate price. open-greenhouse-mcp, ATS Jobs and Multi-ATS Jobs are MIT licensed.

Which server can read public job listings from Greenhouse boards?

ATS Jobs and Multi-ATS Jobs read public job boards, including Greenhouse, and need no account. ATS Jobs runs with npx ats-jobs-mcp. They show open roles at any company, not your own candidates.

Do community Greenhouse servers still work after the old API was retired?

Check which API version a server uses. Greenhouse's Harvest docs say v1 and v2 were to be removed on August 31, 2026, and point developers to Harvest v3. open-greenhouse-mcp says it now uses Harvest v3 with OAuth credentials. The Pipeworx Greenhouse README says it wraps Harvest v1, so this page does not list it.
