👋 I’m George, founder of Dover. Today, we’re launching the Dover MCP, which lets you securely access and manage your hiring pipeline directly from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools. The MCP is available as part of Dover’s free ATS, which gives startups everything they need to manage hiring (scheduling, sourcing, job board integrations, etc.) without paying for expensive recruiting software. You can use the Dover MCP to: - Review the strongest applicants across your open roles - Schedule and prepare questions for an interview - Add notes and update candidate stages - Identify which roles have healthy pipelines and which need more sourcing - Combine Dover with your email and calendars to coordinate interviews and candidate communication For example, you can ask Claude to find a candidate, schedule an interview, prepare a hiring manager, add the debrief notes afterward, move the candidate to the next stage, and draft the follow-up email. How it works: Connect Dover to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or other AI tools so your AI assistant can securely access the jobs and candidates available to your account. - - Access is determined by your organization's permissions, so users only see the hiring information they are authorized to view. About Dover Dover is building the marketplace for startup experts. We connect high-growth startups with experienced operators across recruiting, HR, legal, marketing, customer success, and more. Our free ATS helps startups post jobs, source candidates, manage applicants, coordinate interviews, and track every hiring pipeline in one place. We’re excited to celebrate this launch with the growing community of startups already using Dover’s free ATS, and we’d love to hear what workflows you want us to support next.

 Respecting existing team permissions is the line I would put first, above the workflow list. Most MCP integrations inherit the permissions of whoever connected them rather than whoever is asking, which is fine until a recruiter's assistant can read compensation notes on a candidate they were never on. Hiring data is the worst category for that failure because it is legally sensitive and the leak is invisible. Is the permission check happening per request against the asking user, or once at connection time? That is the difference between a tool a head of people can approve and one their counsel quietly kills.

 That's a great point! We have a strong permissions model in place to block the AI from sharing data that it shouldn't. Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think!

Most AI hiring features just summarize resumes or generate interview questions.. Being able to actually move candidates and schedule interviews from Claude or ChatGPT definitely feels different. I like the idea :) Congrats on the launch!
