# Connect Recruitee and SQL Server

When **New Task** fires in [Recruitee](https://apiant.ai/connections/recruitee), your agent runs **Add Row** in [SQL Server](https://apiant.ai/connections/sql-server), or **New or Updated Row** in SQL Server to **Create Task** in Recruitee. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Recruitee and SQL Server to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Recruitee holds your candidates, job openings and hiring tasks; SQL Server holds the headcount, referral and background-check tables the rest of the business works from. Joining them lets rows in your database create candidates and openings in Recruitee, and lets Recruitee tasks and notes land back in your tables.

Questions

## Recruitee and SQL Server, answered

###

### How do I avoid creating the same job opening twice?

Use Find Job Opening to search Recruitee by title before anything is created, and only create when nothing comes back. You can then write the opening's id to your SQL Server row with Update Row so later runs recognise it.

###

### What can start an automation from Recruitee?

Any of Recruitee's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Task. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in SQL Server when something happens in Recruitee?

Any of SQL Server's 7 actions, including Add Row, Run Custom Statement, Update Row and Find Row. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from SQL Server to Recruitee?

Yes. When something happens in SQL Server, your agent can act in Recruitee too. This page covers both directions: SQL Server's triggers and Recruitee's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Recruitee or SQL Server?

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

###

### Can my AI client use Recruitee and SQL Server without building an automation?

Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.

###

### What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
