Superpower AI
When you source candidates from Claude as a recruiter or company team, Get on Board’s MCP server connects Claude to Talent Database so you can search Latin American tech professionals from your Claude session.
The same remote server URL works across Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code. Pick the path that matches the Claude surface you already use; the authorization flow is the same in all three.
Before you start
You need:
- A Claude.ai account, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code.
- A Get on Board recruiter account with access to an accepted company.
- Talent Database access on the company account you will authorize.
- The remote MCP server URL:
https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp.
Add the server in Claude.ai
In Claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors and add a new connector. Paste the remote URL https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp and confirm. Claude.ai opens the authorization flow in your browser the first time you use a Get on Board tool from a chat.
Add the server in Claude Desktop
Edit your Claude Desktop config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"getonbrd": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp"]
}
}
}
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. The mcp-remote helper bridges Claude Desktop to the Get on Board remote server and opens the OAuth flow in your browser on first use.
You need Node.js installed for npx to work. If Claude Desktop cannot find npx after a restart, install Node.js from https://nodejs.org and restart Claude Desktop again.
Add the server in Claude Code
Open a terminal and run:
claude mcp add --transport http getonbrd https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp
Restart Claude Code or start a new session. The first Get on Board tool call opens the OAuth authorization flow in your browser.
Authorize Get on Board
When the browser opens for any of the three paths above:
- Sign in to Get on Board with your recruiter account.
- Select the company context Claude should use.
- Approve the requested MCP access.
After authorization, restart the Claude app or start a new Claude session so the tools are loaded.
Verify the connection
In Claude, ask:
Use the Get on Board MCP server to call whoami and confirm my active company.
Claude should return your Get on Board identity, the active company context, and the available MCP tools.
Then try a Talent Database search, for example:
Use Get on Board to find senior Python engineers in Mexico with English C1 who are available soon.
What Claude can do with this server
The server gives Claude two MCP tools:
whoami: confirms your Get on Board identity, active company, granted scopes, and available tools.search_talent: runs a Talent Database search from a natural-language brief of the ideal candidate (role, stack, location, seniority, English level, salary range, and other recruiting criteria you describe in plain text).
Claude receives safe candidate summaries and Get on Board profile links. Contact details, CV files, WhatsApp, and social URLs are not returned through MCP. Unlocking contact information, spending credits, sending invitations, and continuing the hiring workflow still happen in Get on Board.
If you need to reconnect
For Claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors, remove the Get on Board entry, and add it again.
For Claude Desktop, remove the getonbrd entry from your claude_desktop_config.json, restart Claude Desktop, re-add the entry, and restart once more.
For Claude Code, run:
claude mcp remove getonbrd
claude mcp add --transport http getonbrd https://www.getonbrd.com/mcp
If Claude does not show the Get on Board tools immediately after authorization, start a new Claude session or restart the Claude app.
