Ashby for AI agents

Ashby is an applicant tracking system for recruiting teams, covering job postings, candidate pipelines, interviews, and offers, with reporting to help hiring teams make data-driven decisions. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Ashby connects.

Users add their Ashby api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Ashby connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Ashby and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Ashby with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Ashby to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Ashby actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Ashby?

Users add their Ashby api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Ashby actions can my agent take?

125 in total: 62 read, 54 write and 9 destructive, such as “create Job”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Ashby?

Yes. Actions like “archive Location” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Ashby too?

Yes. The same Ashby connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
