Connect Jarvi MCP to Claude

Jarvi + Claude — your recruitment assistant in natural language

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the connector that lets Claude act directly in Jarvi. In a single instruction written in plain language, Claude creates a company, searches for profiles, fills a job posting, drafts a candidate presentation and sends an email to your client — no copy-pasting, no switching tools.

Prerequisites

Before connecting Jarvi to Claude, you need:

• The Claude desktop app (Mac or Windows)
• A paid Claude account (Pro, Team or Enterprise)
• An active Jarvi account

Connect Jarvi MCP

1. Open the connection settings
   • From the Claude app, select Cowork then click Customize to personalize the tool.

2. Add the Jarvi connector
   • Click Add then Add a custom connector.
   • Enter the name Jarvi and the URL: https://mcp.jarvi.tech/

3. Authorize the connection
   • Click Add to confirm. Accept the identity verifications and authorize access to your Jarvi account when the window opens.

4. Check the permissions
   • Keep read-only access for profiles and projects, and keep mandatory approval for write and delete operations.

5. Enable the connector in your conversations
   • To use Jarvi in a chat, click the + at the bottom left (or type /), then Connectors, and enable Jarvi.

Test: send “Who am I in Jarvi? Show me my agenda for today.” — if it responds with your name and your agenda, you’re connected.

Create your recruiter skills

A skill is a set of instructions you write once to teach Claude your way of working. It then applies them consistently on its own. Zero code.

How to: open a conversation and say “I want to create a skill for…”. Paste a few real examples (your best emails, a typical candidate presentation). Answer its questions. Claude writes the skill. You activate it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills, test it, and adjust.

”My writing style” skill

So that every message sounds like you:

Create a skill “My writing style”. Here are 5 emails I wrote. Analyze my tone, structure, and key phrases, then apply this style to every message. Rules: formal tone, max 120 words, one question at the end, signature “Best regards, [First name]”.

”Recruiter process” skill

So that Claude follows your method end to end:

Create a skill “Recruiter process” that follows my method: 1) qualify the need with my questions, 2) source from my Jarvi database, 3) score profiles /10 (skills, sector, soft skills, availability), 4) draft an anonymous presentation per candidate from their profile, 5) draft the client email in my style, 6) create a D+2 reminder. Here are my qualification questions and a presentation I like.

In the skill, document the fact that I work with Jarvi MCP: list which Jarvi actions to use and for what (search profiles/companies/projects, read a profile, create a company / contact / profile / project, attach profiles to a project, fill a job posting, send a message, log a call report, create a reminder, check the agenda).

Once both skills are created, your “Recruiter process” already writes in your style. You have an assistant that thinks and writes like you.

Schedule an automatic morning brief

Every morning, Claude cross-references your Jarvi agenda, your reminders (and your inbox if you have a Gmail connector) and prepares an actionable brief.

How to: in the Claude app, go to the Cowork → Schedule tab → + New task. Name it, paste the prompt below, choose Daily or Weekdays at your preferred time, then Save.

You are my recruiter assistant. Prepare my daily brief, short and actionable.

1. AGENDA — My Jarvi agenda for today: interviews and meetings with time, candidate/client and related project.
2. JARVI — My pending todos and reminders. Highlight: candidates to follow up (D+2/D+5 overdue), responses to handle, projects with no activity for 5 days.
3. EMAILS (only if a Gmail connector is active) — My inbox from the last 24h. Keep only recruitment-related (candidate responses, client requests, rejections). Ignore the rest. If no email access, skip this step.
4. SUMMARY — At the top, 5 lines max: “Today you absolutely must…”. Then the details.
5. ACTIONS — For each urgent follow-up/response, draft a message in my style (don’t send it, propose it). Keep it concise, short bullet points.
