Any MCP client

Account

The one tool every signed-in user gets, company or not.

• whoami

  Your email, the companies you belong to with your role in each, and your account kind: admin, company member, candidate, or none.

Find candidates

Search the network. Profiles stay anonymized until Clera has introduced someone to your company.

• searchCandidates

  Filter candidates who are open to opportunities and recently active. Newest first, or by relevance when a search term is set. No lookup by name, email or LinkedIn URL.

• similarCandidates

  Start from one candidate you have been shown and get the profiles closest to theirs. Run it on a result to walk further from the original.

• suggestFilterValues

  Resolve a company or school name to the exact indexed value the employer and education filters need.

• listFilterOptions

  Valid values with candidate counts for role names, skills, job types, work preferences, countries and languages.

Review and decide

The Review tab of your dashboard, as tools.

• listRecommendedCandidates

  Candidates Clera picked for your roles that are waiting on your review, each with a fit summary.

• listPendingIntroRequests

  Candidates who asked to meet your company and are waiting on a decision.

• getCandidateProfile

  Full profile of anyone already visible to you: experience, education, skills, summaries. No contact details, salary or visa status.

• requestIntrowrites

  Ask Clera to introduce a candidate for one of your open roles. Name the role, or pick it in an interactive form. Owners and editors only.

• passCandidatewrites

  Decline a candidate for a role with a reason. The reason feeds back into how Clera matches for you.

• undoPasswrites

  Put a passed candidate back into your review list.

• listPassed

  Everyone you have passed on, with the role and the date.

• addGoodFitExamplewrites

  Mark a candidate you liked as a reference profile for a role so future picks look more like them.

Pipeline

Where every candidate stands.

• listPipeline

  Your hiring board by stage: review, intro requested, introduced, interviewing, offer, hired. Interviewing candidates show their stage and next interview date.

Roles

Everything about the positions you are hiring for.

• readJob

  List your roles or read one in full: description, requirements, locations and screening questions.

• editJobwrites

  Create a role from a title, a job posting URL or pasted text. Then set its brief, requirements, interview stages, locations, questions and notes.

Company and team

The profile candidates see and the people behind it.

• readCompanyProfile

  The company profile candidates see.

• editCompanyProfilewrites

  Update the company profile.

• readCompanyContacts

  Your company contacts, hiring managers included.

• editCompanyContactwrites

  Create, update or deactivate a contact, or make one primary. The calendar link decides where interviews get booked.

• listTeamMembers

  Who on your team has a Clera login, with their role, plus pending email invitations.

Dashboard and feedback

Getting out of the chat, and getting word to us.

• getDashboardLink

  The exact dashboard URL for one section: review, pipeline, a role, settings. The only source of Clera links your assistant should hand you.

• sendFeedbackwrites

  Send a note to the Clera team: a bug, a confusing tool, something Clera cannot do yet.

Sign-in fails, loops, or times out

• Sign in with the email that is on your company's team on Clera. A personal login that is not a team member connects, but sees no company tools.
• Clear cookies for getclera.com and connect again. Browser extensions that block redirects break the consent step.
• Check that your client supports OAuth for remote MCP servers. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and mcp-remote all do.

Only whoami shows up

• Ask whoami. If the account kind is candidate or none, your login is not on any company team. Ask an owner on your team to invite you from Settings, then reconnect.
• Clients cache the tool list. After your access changes, remove the Clera connector and add it again.

A tool is refused

• Viewers cannot request intros, pass on candidates, or edit roles. Ask an owner or editor on your team.
• Candidate search is enabled per company. If searchCandidates says it is off for you, write to us and we will switch it on.
• Searching for a person by name returns nothing on purpose. Profiles are anonymized, so search by role, skills and location instead.

A tool returns an error

• Try once more. If it fails again, send us the tool name and roughly when it happened, or ask your assistant to use sendFeedback.

Revoking access

• Remove the Clera connector in your client's settings. The token stops working immediately. Nothing about your company changes.
