Curriculo ATS does not have its own Slack app. You reach it from Slack through the [Curriculo ATS MCP server](/docs/mcp/): an AI assistant that runs in your Slack workspace and supports remote MCP connectors can call the same 25 tools that Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use.

## How do I use Curriculo ATS in Slack?

Add the Curriculo ATS MCP server, `https://mcp.curriculo.me/mcp`, as a connector in an assistant that works inside Slack and supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. Sign in with OAuth or a personal access token, then ask that assistant in a Slack message or thread to review candidates, move stages or schedule interviews.

## What you need

- A Curriculo ATS organization and a user who can sign in to it.
- An assistant available in your Slack workspace that can add a custom remote MCP connector.
- Permission in that assistant to add connectors. On a managed workspace this is usually an admin.

## Connect

1. In the assistant's connector or integration settings, add a custom MCP server.
2. Enter the server URL:

   ```text
   https://mcp.curriculo.me/mcp
   ```

3. Complete the **OAuth sign-in** when prompted, or paste a personal access token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` if the assistant asks for a header.
4. Grant `ats:read` for read-only use, or `ats:read` and `ats:write` to let it act. See [Scopes](/docs/mcp/#auth).

## What you can ask

Everything the MCP tools cover, from a Slack message:

- "Which applicants for the backend role scored highest this week?"
- "Move Ada to the interview stage and draft a reply to her."
- "What is sitting in each stage of my open roles?"

The full list is in the [tools reference](/docs/mcp/#tools).

## What it does not do

- **No automatic Slack notifications.** Curriculo ATS does not post to Slack channels on its own. The assistant answers when someone asks it.
- **No separate Slack permissions.** The assistant acts as the Curriculo ATS user who signed in, limited to the scopes on that token.

> [!WARNING]
> Anyone who can talk to the assistant in a channel may be able to use its connected tools. Prefer a read-only token in shared channels, and check how your assistant shares connectors between users.
