Pinpoint MCP connector
The Pinpoint connector brings candidates, applications, interviews, departments and hiring team users into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so recruiters can ask about their pipeline and update records inside their own Pinpoint access.

-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Pinpoint to Claude?
Two steps. First, connect Pinpoint in Elaichi by pasting a Pinpoint API key from your Pinpoint account; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Pinpoint is available in the conversation.
Does Pinpoint work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Pinpoint is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Pinpoint once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Pinpoint data?
With Pinpoint connected, an agent can look up candidates and update their details, list and create applications for open roles, record or edit screening answers, show upcoming interviews, and manage departments, users and access groups. Because Pinpoint offers a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "list interviews this week" work better than long paragraphs. Ask in plain language and the agent finds the right action in Pinpoint.
Does connecting Pinpoint give the AI access to every candidate and role?
No. Every request to Pinpoint runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the candidates, applications and departments that person can already see in Pinpoint. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Pinpoint itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Pinpoint?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading candidates and interviews in Pinpoint while blocking deletes of applications, departments or users. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Pinpoint connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Pinpoint through every client at once, and their past actions stay in the audit log. A shared Pinpoint connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want to remove Pinpoint entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client.
