Bottom line
Agency ATS and recruiting CRM for desks that want a long-running system of record their AI assistant can work in, through the vendor's own MCP server. Accounts start at $125 per user a month with no seat caps or minimum, plus a one-time setup fee.
Stands out for: A live MCP server that lets Claude or ChatGPT search, summarize and update your own PCRecruiter records, now included in the standard price, plus an open REST API.
Watch out for: The $125 is a starting rate per user: a one-time setup fee applies, migration from another ATS is quoted separately, and there is no free trial. The per-user rate drops with volume, so teams of more than about ten seats should ask.
Overview
PCRecruiter, now sold as PCRM, is a long-running agency ATS and recruiting CRM. Search, pipeline, deals and placement work sit in one system, with an AI suite for natural language search, record summaries and drafted job descriptions. Pricing starts at $125 per user per month with no seat caps or minimum seat count, plus a one-time setup fee, and migration from another ATS is quoted up front. It is the ATS of record for the desks that run it, not a lead-gen finder.
The PCRecruiter MCP Server connects an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to your live database, and it reads and writes: searches, pipeline reports, record updates and profile forms filled from call notes. MCP access is now included in the standard price, and it is set up with PCRecruiter for your account rather than through one public address. Teams pick PCRecruiter when they already live in it, or need that agency shape rather than Ashby or Greenhouse.

MCP server
PCRecruiter runs its own MCP server, and MCP access is now part of the standard per-user price rather than a top-tier extra. There is no single public address to paste in: access is set up with PCRecruiter for your account, and the connector signs in to your own database through the PCRM API, so it only reaches what your login can reach. Once connected, Claude, ChatGPT or another supported assistant can search candidates, companies and jobs, summarize pipelines, fill profile forms from call notes, and create or update records. Basic API access is included within daily call limits, with higher call volumes offered separately.
