Connect Claude to recruiting

Once connected, you can ask Claude about candidates directly — prep for an interview, check where a role stands, or see why someone scored the way they did. Setup takes about a minute and you do it once.

1 · Add the server

In Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. In Claude Code: run the command below.

Server URL
https://recruiting.augustoapps.us/api/mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http augusto-recruiting https://recruiting.augustoapps.us/api/mcp

2 · Approve the connection

Your browser opens and asks you to approve. You are already signed in with your Augusto Google account, so there is no new password — you are confirming that this specific app may act as you.

Each person connects individually. Candidate data is confidential, so access is tied to your account rather than a shared key — which also means one laptop can be disconnected without affecting anyone else.

3 · Install the interview skill (optional)

The augusto-interview skill teaches Claude how Augusto interviews — the process, the core values rubric, and how to read a score. Without it the tools still work; with it the answers follow our process.

Install
claude plugin install augusto-interview@augusto-tools

What you can ask

  • “Prep me for my interview with Bob Augusto”
    Reads his gaps and builds a round-appropriate guide
  • “Who should we interview next for the Zoho role?”
    Ranked candidates with scores and evidence coverage
  • “Why did Danny Jackson score 57?”
    The evidence and gaps behind every dimension
  • “Where does the Zoho CRM Specialist role stand?”
    Counts by stage and flag

If it does not work

  • It fails immediately, before any sign-in prompt
    The client could not reach the server at all. Check the URL first. If it is right, Cloudflare Access may have been changed — the MCP paths need a Bypass policy, because an MCP client cannot complete a Google sign-in. Ask an admin; docs/SETUP.md has the detail.
  • The browser never opens
    Your client may not support OAuth. Claude Desktop and Claude Code both do; older MCP clients may not.
  • Approved, but no tools appear
    Restart the client. Tools registered mid-session usually need a restart to load.
  • “Authorization required” on every call
    The token expired and could not refresh. Remove the connector and add it again.

Candidate data is confidential — it stays in Claude's conversation with you and is not shared with anyone else. Ask an admin to revoke a connection if you lose a device.
