Ask ChatGPT about your candidates and interviews, and act on the answer, with Octrahire checking your permissions at every step.

## What connects, and its status

- **ChatGPT custom connector** (In beta): Add Octrahire in ChatGPT's developer mode and sign in with your Octrahire account.
- **Actions you confirm** (In beta): Move a candidate, invite to an interview, schedule, add a note or draft an offer, each after you confirm.
- **Candidate cards in ChatGPT** (In beta): Candidate, scorecard and comparison cards inside the conversation, in English and Arabic.
- **Codex** (In beta): OpenAI's coding agent can sign in with your Octrahire account, or use a read-only personal token.

Available: live in production today. In beta: deployed and usable today; it may still change. Coming soon: not usable yet.

## What it does in ChatGPT

- Search interviews and answer questions about candidates, citing what they said
- Compare candidates for a role side by side
- Take the next step, such as an interview invite or a stage move, after you confirm it

## How to add it

Octrahire is not in ChatGPT's app directory, so you add it as a custom connector: turn on developer mode in ChatGPT's settings and add a connector with the address below. Each person signs in with their own Octrahire account. On business plans, a workspace admin may need to allow custom connectors first.

Connector address:

```
https://api.octrahire.ai/api/v1/assistant/mcp
```

## Codex

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml, then run codex mcp login octrahire to sign in with your Octrahire account:

config.toml:

```
[mcp_servers.octrahire]
url = "https://api.octrahire.ai/api/v1/assistant/mcp"
```

To use a read-only personal token instead, make one in Octrahire under Ask across interviews, set OCTRAHIRE_TOKEN in your environment and add bearer_token_env_var = "OCTRAHIRE_TOKEN".

## Directory listing

Octrahire is not listed in ChatGPT's app directory yet. Add it as a custom connector with the address above.
