Vente AI MCP
Vente's MCP lets recruiters connect supported AI assistants to their Vente account, so they can work with existing lead lists, live hiring intelligence, hiring-manager data and supported Vente workflows directly through conversation.
Ask your assistant about your Vente leads
Your AI assistant becomes a conversational interface into the recruitment intelligence already available in Vente. Typical requests include:
- Show me the highest Hiring Stress leads in London from my software engineering list.
- Which leads from my FinTech list have hiring managers?
- Find the hiring manager email for this lead.
- What should I focus on today?
- Show me the leads my team actioned this week.
- Move this lead to the next pipeline stage.
- Pause my [list name] list.
Pipeline requests need Vente Pipeline enabled on your account. Pausing a list is available to the list owner.
What is the Vente MCP?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets an AI assistant connect to external software. Vente provides a remote MCP server, so an authenticated Vente user can ask a supported assistant to work with the recruitment intelligence already available in their Vente account.
In practice, your AI assistant becomes a conversational interface into your Vente leads, hiring-manager data and workflows. The assistant reads live data from Vente at the moment you ask, rather than relying on its training data or the public web.
What can you do with it?
The Vente MCP works with the leads and lists already in your Vente account. It does not search outside them.
Find & prioritise leads
Search and filter the leads already delivered to your Vente lists, then rank them to decide what to work first.
- Filter by job title or company prefix, location, posting dates, hiring-manager availability and lead status
- Sort by Hiring Stress to surface the highest-pressure hiring opportunities
- Use each list's targeting description, relevance match, job recency and hiring-manager availability to prioritise
Hiring-manager intelligence
Retrieve full lead detail, including who Vente has identified as the likely hiring manager.
- Hiring-manager name, title and LinkedIn URL
- Job details, job location, job URL and, on request, the job description
- Relevance match level and Hiring Stress score for each lead
Contact discovery
Ask the assistant to discover a hiring manager's email address or phone number when it has not been found yet.
- Discovery can use Vente lead credits, so the assistant checks your account first
- Discovery can take a short while, and the assistant can check back until a result or a not-found outcome is confirmed
- Not every contact will have an email address or phone number available
Lead triage
Keep your lists tidy by actioning or rejecting leads in conversation, one at a time or in bulk.
- Mark leads as actioned, with a reason recorded for the audit trail
- Reject individual leads or several at once
- Reject a whole company, which requires explicit confirmation
Vente Pipeline
For accounts with Vente Pipeline enabled, work with pipeline tasks and stages through your assistant.
- List pipeline tasks, including those due today
- Move a lead to another pipeline stage
- Assign a lead to a team member and review pipeline activity
Team reporting
Ask about team activity and usage, subject to your account and team permissions.
- Team activity across a date range, including sign-ins, leads actioned and leads rejected
- Contact discovery activity and lead delivery usage
- Pipeline task completion and activity
List controls
View your lists and, as a list owner, pause or resume delivery.
- View your lists, inspect a list and read what it is targeting
- View teammates' lists where permissions allow
- Pause or resume a list you own; pausing requires explicit confirmation
Combine Vente with other AI-connected systems
Vente returns lead data such as the company name, job title, job location, job URL and hiring managers. If your AI assistant also has access to another system, such as a CRM connected through its own connector, the assistant can combine the two, for example by checking whether a company from your Vente leads already appears in your CRM.
The Vente MCP does not search your CRM itself. Any CRM lookup depends on the CRM being separately connected to your AI assistant.
To deliver leads into your CRM automatically, see Vente's CRM integrations, which are separate from MCP.
Connect Claude or ChatGPT
Both assistants connect to the same Vente MCP endpoint. You sign in to Vente from the assistant and approve the permissions it requests.
- MCP endpoint
https://app.vente.ai/mcp- Transport
- Streamable HTTP
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0
- Current named setup guides
- Claude, ChatGPT
Connect Claude
- In Claude, open Customize and choose Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Enter https://app.vente.ai/mcp and connect.
- Sign in to Vente if prompted.
- Review the permissions requested, then allow access.
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, your organisation's settings may need to permit or add the connector first.
Connect ChatGPT
- Enable developer mode or custom MCP apps in ChatGPT if required for your account.
- Create a custom MCP app in ChatGPT.
- Use https://app.vente.ai/mcp as the server URL.
- Sign in with Vente when prompted and complete the Vente consent screen.
- Let ChatGPT scan the available tools, then enable the app in your conversation.
Availability of custom MCP apps depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings, which OpenAI may change.
Security and permissions
- Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You connect from your AI assistant, sign in to Vente, review the permissions requested and approve access.
- Access is granted as read and write permissions, so you can see what an assistant is allowed to do before you approve it.
- You do not need to create or paste an API key to connect an assistant.
- You can revoke a connected application at any time from Connected apps in Vente.
- Sensitive actions require explicit confirmation, including rejecting a whole company and pausing a list.
- Actions such as actioning or rejecting a lead store a reason, so there is a record of what was done.
- Contact discovery can use lead credits, and the assistant is instructed to check your account first.
- Team-wide reporting follows manager and owner permissions.
Current scope
The Vente MCP works with your existing lists and leads. Creating new lead lists and changing a list's targeting are not currently available through MCP. To create or refine lists conversationally, use Conversational AI inside Vente.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Vente MCP?
The Vente MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server that lets supported AI assistants work with an authenticated Vente account. Through conversation, an assistant can use your existing Vente lead lists, hiring-manager intelligence, lead triage, reporting and Vente Pipeline workflows.
Does Vente AI have an MCP server?
Yes. Vente AI provides a remote MCP server at https://app.vente.ai/mcp. It uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.0 authentication, and it is available to Vente users now.
Can ChatGPT connect to Vente AI?
Yes. ChatGPT can connect to Vente through a custom MCP app using the Vente MCP endpoint. You sign in to Vente and approve the permissions requested. Availability of custom MCP apps depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.
Can Claude connect to Vente AI?
Yes. In Claude you can add the Vente MCP as a custom connector, sign in to Vente and approve access. On Team and Enterprise plans, your organisation's settings may need to permit the connector first.
Can an AI assistant access my Vente leads?
Yes, once you connect it and approve access. The assistant can view your Vente lists and search, filter and read the leads already delivered to them, within the permissions of your account. It works with your Vente leads and lists rather than searching outside them.
Can AI find hiring managers using Vente?
An assistant can retrieve the hiring managers Vente has already identified for a lead, including their name, title and LinkedIn URL where available. The hiring managers come from Vente's lead data rather than from the assistant's own research.
Can an AI assistant discover hiring-manager emails through Vente?
Yes. If a hiring manager's email address or phone number has not been discovered yet, the assistant can ask Vente to discover it. This can use lead credits, the result may arrive after a short delay, and not every contact will have an email address or phone number available.
Can an AI assistant prioritise my Vente leads?
Yes. An assistant can use your list's targeting description, each lead's relevance match, its Hiring Stress score, how recently the job was posted and whether a hiring manager is available to help you decide what to work first. If your account has Vente Pipeline, it can also show tasks due today.
Can an AI assistant update leads in Vente Pipeline?
Yes, on accounts with Vente Pipeline enabled. An assistant can list pipeline tasks, move a lead to another stage and assign a lead to a team member. These are Vente Pipeline actions, not changes inside an external recruitment CRM. Outside Pipeline, an assistant can mark leads as actioned or reject them.
Can the Vente MCP create new lead lists?
Not currently. The first version of the Vente MCP is focused on working with existing lists, leads, hiring-manager intelligence, triage, reporting and Vente Pipeline workflows.
