# Connect your AI assistant

> Connect an MCP-compatible AI assistant or developer tool to SeekOut and run your first talent search.

If you have a SeekOut Recruit license, MCP access is included. Self-service assistants such as Claude can be connected in a few minutes; enterprise-managed platforms may require administrator setup.

## Prerequisites

* A **SeekOut Recruit license**
* A supported AI assistant or MCP client

<Note>
  Gemini Enterprise and other managed platforms may require an administrator to provision or approve the connection before individual users can use it.
</Note>

## Connect in four steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose your assistant or tool">
    You can use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Amazon Quick, or a compatible desktop, CLI, or developer tool.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add SeekOut MCP">
    Use the following server URL when your client asks for an MCP endpoint:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://seekout-search-mcp.seekout.io/tools
    ```

    For clients that use a JSON configuration file:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "seekout-search": {
          "url": "https://seekout-search-mcp.seekout.io/tools"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Follow the setup guide for [Claude](/mcp/connect/claude), [ChatGPT](/mcp/connect/chatgpt), [Gemini Enterprise](/mcp/connect/gemini), [Microsoft 365 Copilot](/mcp/connect/copilot), [Amazon Quick](/mcp/connect/amazon-quick), or [developer and desktop tools](/mcp/connect/developer).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to SeekOut">
    The first time your assistant calls a SeekOut tool, complete the browser-based OAuth sign-in. Automated workflows that cannot support an interactive sign-in use separately provisioned [API credentials](/mcp/connect/m2m).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first search">
    Ask for a recruiting outcome in plain language:

    <Prompt description="Find senior product managers in Seattle with fintech experience." icon="quote">
      Find senior product managers in Seattle with fintech experience.
    </Prompt>
  </Step>
</Steps>
