Getting started

Connecting takes about two minutes and you only do it once.

1. Add the connector

  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Paste this URL: 
    https://mcp.hirequotient.com/mcp
  4. Click Add / Save.

Plan notes

On a Free plan you can have one custom connector. On Team/Enterprise, an Owner adds it for the workspace. Custom connectors are currently a beta feature in the Claude UI.

Add it as a Streamable-HTTP MCP server (.cursor/mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json): 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easysource": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.hirequotient.com/mcp" }
  }
}

2. Log in with Google

The first time you use it, Claude opens a Google sign-in. Sign in with the work Google account whose email matches your EasySource login.

That's it - Claude now acts as you. There's nothing to copy/paste and no API key to manage.

If sign-in is rejected

If you see "No active HireQuotient account for <email>", you signed in with a Google account that isn't an active EasySource user. Sign out and use your EasySource work email. See Troubleshooting.

3. Try it

Type any of these into Claude:

  • "List my projects."
  • "Show the top candidates for project 41338."
  • "Source product managers in London for project 41338."
  • "Add these LinkedIn profiles to project 41338: <url>, <url>."

Or type /hq_help to see a menu of everything it can do.

How it stays safe

  • Acts as you. Claude uses your EasySource identity, so it can only touch projects and candidates you already have access to.
  • Asks before spending. Running a search (which uses credits) or running vetting always shows you what it's about to do and waits for your yes.
  • Read vs. write. Listing projects, previewing candidates, and viewing a project are read-only. Adding candidates, searching, and vetting change your data - those confirm first.
