Loam’s MCP server lets you manage your hiring pipeline from AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor — source candidates, review applications, and move stages without leaving your workflow.
Setup
- Generate an API key
- Add this to your MCP client’s configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"loam": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@loam/mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"LOAM_API_KEY": "lk_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
LOAM_API_KEY is required. You only need to set LOAM_API_URL if you want the MCP server to point at a local or staging Loam environment instead of production.
- Verify by asking your AI tool: “List my open jobs on Loam”
