What can I do with the Claude / Open AI connector

What can I do with the MCP

The AI connectors are being actively developed. You should expect new skills to appear weekly, and so this article may sometimes be out of date. You can see the current list of tools by clicking on the CONNECTORS page in Claude

Claude/OpenAI work with Atlas by calling 'tools'.

A tool is a discrete action that Atlas allows these systems to make.

When you ask a question, your AI system will decide which tool or collection of tools it needs to use to answer your question.

Things you could do with the Atlas connector

The "save me an hour" ones

  • "What's in my diary this week, and who am I least prepared for?"

  • "Pull up everyone I've got at offer stage right now across all my roles."

  • "Which of my open roles has gone quiet — nothing moved in two weeks?"

  • "Give me a one-line status on every live role I own."

The candidate-comparison ones

  • "I've got three people for the backend role — read their interviews and tell me who actually performed best, not who's got the prettiest CV."

  • "Compare how my shortlist answered when asked about handling conflict."

  • "Who interviewed well but we never followed up with?"

The "find the needle" ones

  • "Where in any interview did a candidate mention they're open to relocating?"

  • "Did anyone on the Acme role flag a salary expectation above budget?"

  • "Find me the candidate who talked about scaling a team from 5 to 50."

The client-prep ones

  • "Tell me everything about Blackwood as a client and what's open with them."

  • "Who are my hiring contacts on the Acme role, and what was the last thing we said to each other?"

  • "Before my call with this client — remind me what we discussed last time."

The slightly cheeky ones

  • "Which candidate have I been ghosting the longest?"

  • "Find me someone in my database who's both a client contact AND secretly a candidate." (the awkward double-agents)

  • "Who's the most over-interviewed candidate I've got — how many meetings have we burned on one person?"

  • "Show me a role where I've got loads of people sourced but zero actually interviewing — where am I all talk?"

The genuinely useful party trick

  • "I'm about to interview this person in 10 minutes and haven't prepped — give me their CV, what we've already discussed, and three questions worth asking."
