MCP
Connect DINQ's capabilities into AI assistants and agent workflows via MCP.
DINQ supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so external AI assistants and agent workflows can use DINQ as a talent search and enrichment tool.
With MCP, your agent can call DINQ to search for candidates, check search progress, and retrieve structured talent results.
Who this is for
MCP is designed for developers and teams that use agent frameworks or build custom orchestration layers with AI assistants.
Use MCP if you want to:
- Let an AI assistant run DINQ talent searches.
- Add candidate search and enrichment to an agent workflow.
- Connect DINQ to MCP-compatible clients.
- Build automated sourcing or market-mapping workflows.
How to connect
- Go to Settings > API keys and generate an access token.
- Open the API Playground.
- Switch to MCP mode.
- Copy the connector URL.
- Paste the endpoint into your MCP client configuration.
- Launch talent queries from your agent interface.

| Tool name | Description |
|---|---|
dinq_search_start | Starts an asynchronous search task and returns a job_id. |
dinq_search_poll | Checks the status of an active search until results are ready or the task times out. |
dinq_search | Runs a blocking search call that waits for complete results. |
dinq_health | Checks endpoint connectivity and service availability. |
For interactive workflows, use dinq_search_start with dinq_search_poll so your agent can show progress while the search runs.
Quick setup with skill files
Some agent platforms can load a preconfigured skill file for faster setup. A skill file is a Markdown file that includes the MCP server address, supported tool schemas, and agent instructions.
To use a skill file:
- Open the API Playground.
- Switch to Skill mode.
- Select your API key.
- Click Copy.
- Save the generated text as a Markdown file in your agent platform's skills directory.
After the skill file is loaded, the agent can connect to the DINQ MCP server without manual URL configuration.
Where you can use DINQ MCP
You can connect DINQ MCP to MCP-compatible assistants and agent environments, including Claude Desktop, OpenAI Codex environments, OpenClaw, Hermes, and other MCP-compatible clients.
