What is Ashby MCP?
The Ashby MCP server gives AI agents access to your Ashby recruiting data. That means agents can search candidates and applications, read resumes and interview transcripts, move applications between pipeline stages, schedule and reschedule interviews, pull scorecards and AI criteria evaluations, create jobs and offers, and manage interviewer pools. It works across the full Ashby hiring workflow: candidates, applications, jobs, interviews, and offers.
If your team spends time copying candidate details into spreadsheets, chasing scorecards, manually moving applicants through stages, or assembling weekly hiring reports by hand, an AI agent can take over a lot of that busywork. Describe what you need, and your AI agent will handle the recruiting operations for you.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open standard that gives AI agents a way to connect to external tools and services. Instead of writing code against the Ashby API, handling pagination and rate limits, and parsing JSON responses yourself, you add your Ashby API key to Gumloop once. After that, you manage your recruiting pipeline just by asking your AI agent in plain language.

What you can do with Ashby MCP on Gumloop
Search candidates and pull full profiles
Find candidates by name or email and pull complete profiles: contact details, applications, notes, and attached files like resumes. Your AI agent can summarize a candidate’s history or surface the right people, without you clicking through Ashby.
Move applications through your pipeline
List applications filtered by job, status, or date, then change stages, transfer candidates between jobs, or update application details. Pull the full stage-transition history for any application to see exactly how a candidate moved through the funnel.
Read scorecards, feedback, and AI criteria evaluations
Pull interview scorecards and feedback submissions for any application, and read Ashby’s AI-generated criteria evaluations. Your agent can roll up interviewer feedback into a clean hiring summary, or flag where reviewers disagree.
Download resumes and interview transcripts
Pull candidate files and interview transcripts into Gumloop storage so an AI agent can read, summarize, or analyze them. Useful for screening at volume or generating debrief notes.
Schedule, reschedule, and cancel interviews
Create interview schedules for an application with defined events, interviewers, and timing, then update or cancel them as plans change. List interview events and plans to keep coordination on autopilot.
Create and update jobs and offers
Open new jobs, update titles, teams, and locations, change job status, and create offers for applications, all programmatically. Read job postings and openings to keep requisitions in sync.
Add notes, tags, and custom field values
Write notes on candidates, apply tags for categorization, add candidates to projects, and set custom field values on candidates or applications to keep records clean and searchable.
Manage interviewer pools and training paths
List, create, and update interviewer pools, and add users to specific training-path stages. Useful for scaling your interviewing bench and tracking who’s qualified for which loops.

Ashby MCP use cases
Automated candidate screening for recruiters
When new applications come in, a Gumloop agent can pull each candidate’s resume and profile, run it through an AI model against the job’s criteria, write a summary note back to the candidate in Ashby, and post the strongest matches to a Slack channel. Recruiters review a shortlist instead of a stack of resumes.
Weekly pipeline reporting for talent leaders
Pull every application by stage and job, summarize movement since last week, and compile a hiring report into Google Sheets or a Slack message. Heads of Talent get a current funnel snapshot (time-in-stage, offers out, stalled candidates) without anyone exporting CSVs.
Interview scheduling and coordination
An AI agent can read a job’s interview plan, create interview schedules with the right interviewers and timing, and notify everyone in Slack or by email. When something changes, the agent updates or cancels the schedule and re-notifies, cutting out the back-and-forth coordinators usually own.
Interview debrief summarization
After interviews wrap, pull all scorecards, written feedback, and AI criteria evaluations for an application, then have an AI agent compile a single balanced debrief doc (including where interviewers agreed and disagreed) and drop it in the hiring team’s channel ahead of the decision meeting.
Cross-platform hiring agents
Connect Ashby with Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, and other MCP tools in a single agent. Trigger candidate outreach in Gmail when someone hits a stage, sync offer-stage candidates to a finance sheet, or kick off onboarding tasks the moment an offer is created. Your ATS talks to the rest of your stack automatically.
