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.

• readShortlist

  Open one shortlist Clera sent you from its link and see who on it is still waiting on your review.

• getCandidateProfile

  Full profile of any candidate a tool showed you: experience, education, skills. Anonymized until you request an intro. No contact details, salary, visa status or summaries.

• 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, from your review list or anywhere in your pipeline. 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.

• setInterviewwrites

  Schedule or move an interview, open the next round, mark one done, or move a candidate to offer. Same picker as the Pipeline page.

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.

Find roles

Roles at startups Clera works with first, then the wider job board.

• searchCleraRoles

  Open roles at the startups Clera works with. Every result is a role Clera can introduce you to.

• searchJobs

  The wide external job board, for when the Clera roles come up short.

• readJobListing

  One job in full, from any search, match or saved list.

• saveJobwrites

  Bookmark a job board listing for later.

• listSavedJobs

  Your saved job board listings, newest first.

• unsaveJobwrites

  Remove a listing from your saved list.

Matches

Your Matches page, as tools.

• listMatches

  The roles Clera matched you to, in the order your Matches page shows them.

• readMatch

  One match in full: the role, tech stack, interview stages, the company and its questions for you.

• likeMatchwrites

  Tell Clera you want a role, the same as the like button on a Matches card. If it fits, Clera puts you in front of the company, and that cannot be taken back.

• declineMatchwrites

  Pass on a role. It leaves your Matches and Clera stops working on it.

• undoMatchDecisionwrites

  Reset a like or a pass so the role is back in your Matches as new. A role already in process with the company stays there.

• answerRoleQuestionwrites

  Answer a company's screening question. Answers stay drafts until you submit them, and submitted ones go to the company with your intro.

Interviews

Where every role stands, and the invitations waiting on you.

• listMyPipeline

  Every opportunity Clera has for you, in every state, with interview dates where one is booked.

• listInterviewRequests

  Interview invitations waiting for a yes or no, plus the ones you already answered.

• acceptInterviewwrites

  Say yes to an interview. Clera tells the company and handles the scheduling.

• declineInterviewwrites

  Say no to an interview, with the reason you want passed on.

Apply anywhere

Applications outside Clera, and a tracker for all of them.

• applyToJobwrites

  Fill in an employer's own application form from your Clera profile and primary resume. It stops before the submit button unless you tell it to send.

• getApplicationRun

  How an application run went: submitted, ready to submit, or what it still needs from you.

• listApplications

  Your application tracker, newest first, with each one's stage.

• trackApplicationwrites

  Add a job to your tracker from a job board listing, a posting link or typed details.

• updateApplicationwrites

  Move a tracked application to another stage, or edit its notes and details.

• deleteApplicationwrites

• generateApplicationDocumentswrites

  Write a cover letter or resume tailored to one tracked application and attach the PDFs.

Resumes and writing

The resume Clera sends with your intros, and everything written from it.

• listResumes

  Your uploaded resumes, which one is primary, and the AI feedback on it: a score out of 100 and fixes.

• setPrimaryResumewrites

  Pick the resume Clera sends with every intro from now on.

• deleteResumewrites

  Delete a resume for good. The primary one stays.

Profile and dashboard

What Clera matches you on, and getting back to your dashboard.

  Your job preferences: salary, remote or in person, relocation, roles, company stage, visa needs.

• editPreferenceswrites

  Change your job preferences. Preferred cities, contact details and resumes are edited on the dashboard.

• getProfileStrength

  Your profile strength from 0 to 100, and the next steps ranked by how many points each adds.

• getReferralStats

  Your referral link, who you invited, and who signed up.

• getTalentDashboardLink

  The exact link to one section of your Clera dashboard.

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.
