Ashby MCP Server Now Generally Available

🎯 What is it?

The Ashby MCP Server is now available to all Dust workspaces. This integration allows your agents to interact directly with your Ashby recruiting data—search for candidates, access interview feedback, manage notes on candidate profiles, and extract report data as CSV files using just a report URL.

💡 Why is it useful?

Recruiting teams often need to quickly access candidate information, review feedback across multiple interviews, or pull reports for analysis. Instead of switching between Dust and Ashby, your agents can now retrieve this information directly within your workflow, saving time and keeping your recruiting operations seamless.

⚙ How does it work?

Workspace admins can configure the Ashby connection in Spaces > Tools using an Ashby API Key. Once set up, anyone in your workspace can enable these capabilities on their agents to start interacting with your Ashby data.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Candidate Research Agent: Build an agent that searches for candidates by name or email and compiles all their interview feedback into a summary before your hiring committee meeting.

Recruiting Analytics Assistant: Create an agent that pulls data from multiple Ashby reports and generates comparative analyses or weekly recruiting metrics dashboards.

Candidate Communication Helper: Set up an agent that reads and adds notes to candidate profiles, helping recruiters maintain context and document important details throughout the hiring process.

📈 Benefits for you

Faster access to recruiting data: No need to leave Dust to check candidate information
Better context for decisions: Agents can synthesize feedback and data from multiple sources
Streamlined workflows: Automate repetitive tasks like pulling reports or updating candidate notes
Improved collaboration: Share agent-generated insights with your team directly in Dust
