## What the server offers

* **More than 45 tools:** read tools (jobs, candidates, reports, pipelines, leaderboards, funnel metrics, and more) and write tools (such as creating a job, updating a candidate's stage, sending interview invites, and scheduling panel rounds).
* **No delete tools.** Nothing can be deleted through MCP.
* **Confirmation before every write.** Write tools ask the person to confirm, and adverse changes show a preview first.
* **Upcoming: run the role.** Hand a role to Smaya from your client and get back what needs a decision in your [Agent Inbox](/smaya/agent-inbox).

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Exterview to your MCP client">
    Add the Exterview MCP server to your client. Your Exterview representative
    gives you the server address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with Microsoft">
    The client opens an Exterview sign-in with your Microsoft account. Exterview
    uses OAuth 2.1, so there is no token to copy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose read or write access">
    On the consent screen, grant read access, or read and write. Each client
    gets only the access you grant it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work within your access">
    Every tool runs as you, with your role and data visibility. Actions are
    recorded with who took them.
  </Step>
</Steps>
