claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.xverum.com/mcpWhat Ask Xverum does
The integration runs as a remote HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.xverum.com/mcp. No local code is executed. It provides five distinct tools: search_people_xverum, enrich_person_xverum, predict_job_change_xverum, search_company_xverum, and enrich_company_xverum. You can query people or companies by skill and location.
The predict_job_change_xverum tool calculates whether an employee might switch jobs. These scores refresh weekly. All operations are strictly read-only. The server cannot edit or delete any data.
An account at https://ask.xverum.com/ is required. Authentication relies on an OAuth browser flow on first connection, keeping API keys out of your setup. Every request uses credits. Search results cost 1 credit each, while predicting a job move costs 10 credits.
What it helps with
- source technical candidates by role, skill set, and city
- compile target lists of decision-makers for B2B outreach
