That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve opened up our API to enable developers to leverage the true potential of your PCRecruiter database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously only available to our in-house development team, PCRecruiter&#8217;s API enabled us to build our integration with Microsoft Outlook, our PCR Capture plugin, and the PCRM interface. Now it&#8217;s your turn! The API is available at no added cost to all PCRecruiter accounts. Developers can get started with the documentation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/apidocs_v2\/\">https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/apidocs_v2\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our REST API gives qualified developers secure, programmatic access to the core data that powers your recruiting operation \u2014 names, companies, jobs, placements, activities, and the connections between them. Whether you&#8217;re a staffing firm with a proprietary workflow or an enterprise HR team with specialized reporting needs, the API lets you build the exact solution your operation requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What developers can build with the PCRecruiter API:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list bullet\">\n<li><strong>Custom job integrations<\/strong> \u2014 Pull live openings directly from your PCRecruiter database into custom-built job boards, niche posting systems, or aggregators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data import\/export tools<\/strong> \u2014 Automate the movement of candidate and client records between PCRecruiter and other platforms, eliminating duplicate data entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom reporting and dashboards<\/strong> \u2014 Surface the KPIs that matter most to your team by querying your PCRecruiter data directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workflow automation<\/strong> \u2014 Trigger actions in PCRecruiter based on events in other systems, or push PCRecruiter updates outward to the tools your team already uses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-party integrations<\/strong> \u2014 Connect PCRecruiter to background check providers, assessment platforms, phone systems, payroll tools, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing the <strong>PCRecruiter MCP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PCRecruiter also offers a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for use with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-ready AI tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the API is about connecting software to PCRecruiter, the MCP is about connecting <em>AI<\/em> to PCRecruiter&#8217;s API. MCP is an open standard that acts as a universal adapter between AI assistants and the external systems they need to act on. With PCRecruiter&#8217;s MCP, an AI assistant can read from and write to your database in real time, guided by natural language instructions rather than hand-coded workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional automation tools that require you to pre-define every rule and trigger, an MCP-connected AI can handle context-dependent tasks that don&#8217;t follow a fixed script. It adapts to your instructions in the moment, making it especially powerful for the nuanced, judgment-heavy work that recruiting demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The PCRecruiter MCP is currently in limited beta. <\/strong>We will be providing more information, use cases, instructions, and tools when it has been fully tested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To inquire about joining the beta program, contact <strong><a href=\"mailto:admin@mainsequence.net\">admin@mainsequence.net<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PCR offers a highly capable open API for development and an MCP server for AI connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-developer-api.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-263","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>PCRecruiter API &amp;
