herohunt-mcp

MCP server for the HeroHunt People Search API. Search for talent across LinkedIn, GitHub, and StackOverflow from any MCP-compatible AI agent.

Quick Start

Option 1: Remote URL (recommended)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most modern MCP clients support remote HTTP endpoints directly. No package installation needed.

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "url": "https://api.herohunt.ai/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "url": "https://api.herohunt.ai/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: stdio (via npx)

For MCP clients that only support stdio transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "herohunt-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "HEROHUNT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example

After connecting, ask your AI agent:

"Use HeroHunt to find me 5 senior Go engineers in Berlin and summarise the top 3."

The agent will call people_search with a natural language query, receive structured profile data (name, title, company, location, skills, platform links), and summarize the results.

To get contact info, ask:

"Enrich the results with emails and phone numbers."

The agent will call people_search_paginate with enrich: true.
