Herohunt Mcp

Overview

Herohunt Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants access to a people search API, enabling real-time lookups across 1 billion candidates on LinkedIn and GitHub. Once connected, your AI can invoke people search as a native tool to find and qualify candidates during conversations.

The server runs locally via the npm package herohunt-mcp, communicating over stdio. Installation is straightforward using npx -y herohunt-mcp. You'll need to provide your HEROHUNT_API_KEY through an environment variable to authenticate with the API. The latest release is v1.0.2, with full source code available at herohunt-ai/herohunt-mcp on GitHub.

Herohunt Mcp is listed in the Version Control category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, claim your listing on mcp.site to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
