Integration

CATS integration

CATS is an applicant tracking system for recruiters. Create, read, update and delete candidates, contacts, companies and job orders; attach candidates to jobs (pipelines) and move them through workflow statuses; search and filter records; log activities, manage tasks, tags, saved lists, custom field values, phones, emails, work history and company departments; upload attachments and resumes, parse a resume; read users, career portals and job applications, submit portal applications; poll account events and manage webhooks. Records hold personal data of candidates and contacts. Left out: account backups, the candidate password check (and the candidate password field), attachment downloads, profile thumbnails, portal registration forms, publishing a job to a portal (CATS wants an empty JSON body the catalog does not send), and single-item reads that a list tool already returns. Authentication is a v3 API key, created on the Administration settings page in CATS and sent as Authorization: Token <key>. Rate limit: 500 requests per rolling hour.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in CATS.Built from the 169 CATS tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with CATS

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use CATS from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect CATS in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its CATS operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
