# Talent Summoner

Hooks your agent up to Talent Summoner so it can draft a candidate profile, search for people, build a shortlist and prepare outreach. Handy when hiring runs from the chat.

## What it does

The server hands the agent sourcing tools. It writes a draft ideal-candidate profile before searching, so you can edit it first, then runs the search and sharpens criteria within the same session. Results can be reviewed, moved into a shortlist, and work emails requested — all in conversation.

The connection is remote, at `https://talentsummoner.com/api/mcp`, over Streamable HTTP. Auth is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, or an API key passed as a Bearer token. The Claude Code plugin skips the key: it asks you to sign in to your Talent Summoner account the first time a tool runs. Everywhere else the setup command `npx @talent-summoner/setup` does the wiring, and it needs Node.js 22.20 or newer plus an interactive macOS, Linux, PowerShell or Command Prompt terminal.

Never paste the API key into agent chats, shell commands or Git. Running both the Claude Code plugin and `npx @talent-summoner/setup` in the same agent duplicates tools and the skill, so pick one. To disconnect, use **Settings → Connected apps** in Talent Summoner; for the setup route, revoke the key and remove the MCP entry and skill.
