Claude & ChatGPT

Your recruitment desk, inside Claude and ChatGPT

Connect the AI assistant you already use to Crumblelead. Ask it to add candidates from a CV, move people through your pipeline, log notes or pull your numbers, and it does the work in your ATS, within your permissions.

In the one $30 plan. 14 days free, no card required.

You ask in your chat. Crumblelead does the work on the real record, and logs it under your name.

What is MCP?

A secure line between your AI assistant and your ATS

MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI assistants use to work with other software on your behalf. Crumblelead has an MCP server built in.

Once you connect, Claude or ChatGPT can look things up and make changes in your workspace when you ask, instead of you copying details between the two. Think of it as giving your assistant a login to your desk that only ever sees what you can see.

What you can do

Hand over the admin, keep the judgement

Ask in your own words. Your assistant picks the right Crumblelead action, shows you what it did, and you stay in charge of every decision.

Add candidates from a CV

"Add the candidate from this CV link to the Senior React role."

Reads the CV, creates the profile with the file attached, and adds them to the job's pipeline.

Move people through your pipeline

"Move Billy Turner to Offer."

Updates his stage on the job, just as if you had dragged the card yourself.

Keep candidate notes current

"Add a note to Elena: the client confirmed a £95k base."

The note lands on her profile, where the rest of your team can see it.

Find the right people

"Which React developers in Berlin do we have?"

Searches your candidates by skills, location, company and title, and lists the matches.

Check your pipelines

"Who is at offer stage right now?"

Lists everyone at that stage across the jobs you can see, with the role and client.

Know your numbers

"How am I tracking this month?"

Your revenue placed, the change on last month, and your active and stalled applications. Managers can ask for team revenue and the leaderboard.

Set up jobs and clients

"Create a job for Acme from this job description link."

Reads the description, fills in the role details and creates the job under the right client.

Check your diary

"What have I got on Thursday?"

Lists your Crumblelead calendar events for the day, so you can plan around them.

Your assistant can also use its own skills on what it finds: drafting outreach, summarising a profile for a client or preparing interview questions. Anything that goes out, you send yourself.

Why connect it

Less time in the ATS, more time with people

Stay where you already work

If Claude or ChatGPT is open all day, your ATS is now one message away. No switching tabs to update a record.

No more copying and pasting

The details you would normally retype from a chat, a CV or a call go straight onto the right record.

Your data meets its skills

Your assistant writes, summarises and plans. Crumblelead gives it your real candidates, jobs and numbers to work from.

Included, and under your control

It is part of the one Crumblelead plan, it follows your permissions, and you can disconnect it at any time.

How to connect

Connected in a couple of minutes

No keys to manage with Claude or ChatGPT. You sign in with your normal Crumblelead login.

1

Copy your workspace address

In Crumblelead, open MCP & API and choose Let AI do your admin. Pick your assistant and copy the address.

2

Add it to your assistant

In Claude, add a custom connector under Customize, then Connectors. In ChatGPT, turn on Developer mode and create a plugin with that address.

3

Authorize, then just ask

A Crumblelead window opens. Sign in as usual and click Authorize. Your assistant can now work with your desk.

Using Claude Code, Cursor or another tool with a settings file? Create an access key on the same page and paste the ready-made command or snippet. ChatGPT needs a Plus plan or above for Developer mode.

Your data, your rules

Your assistant gets your access, and nothing more

It only sees what you can see

Your assistant acts as you, with your role. Confidential jobs and private clients you are not on stay hidden from it too.

Your team's data only

Every request is scoped to your current workspace. It can never reach another agency's data.

Changes are on the record

Stage moves, new candidates and edits made through your assistant are logged under your name, like any other change.

Disconnect in a click

See every connected app in API keys & connected apps and cut one off instantly. Removing a teammate disconnects theirs as well.

FAQ

Questions recruiters ask

Is it included in my plan?

Yes. Connecting Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client is part of the one Crumblelead plan, including your 14-day free trial.

Do I need a paid Claude or ChatGPT account?

You need your own Claude or ChatGPT account. Free Claude plans can add one custom connector. ChatGPT needs Developer mode, which comes with Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans.

What can it not do yet?

Through MCP your assistant cannot send emails, book meetings or set reminders in Crumblelead, and notes go on candidates rather than clients. It can still draft emails for you to send yourself. Crumble AI, the assistant built into Crumblelead, can send emails after you review them and add events to your calendar.

Will it change things without asking me?

Your assistant shows each Crumblelead action it takes, and Claude and ChatGPT let you approve actions before they run. Deleting a record is possible, so read the action before you approve it.

Where does my data go?

Crumblelead only shares what your assistant asks for and you are allowed to see. Once it reaches Claude or ChatGPT, it is handled under the terms of your account with them. Crumblelead never trains AI models on your data.

How is this different from Crumble AI?

Crumble AI is built into Crumblelead with nothing to set up. MCP is for people who would rather work from the assistant they already use. Many teams use both.

How do I disconnect an assistant?

Open API keys & connected apps in Crumblelead and click Disconnect next to the app. Its access stops straight away. You can reconnect whenever you like.
