Bottom line
AI recruiting CRM and ATS with multichannel outreach for agencies, now with a hosted MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. Pricing is a demo quote.
Stands out for: Outreach, SMS, WhatsApp, call tasks, notes, and inbox AI sit in one agency workspace with ATS write-back. Its MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT search full call transcripts, notes and CVs, so a recruiter can prep for a call or find who mentioned relocating without opening SourceWhale.
Watch out for: There is no public rate card. LinkedIn steps are often manual to-dos, and InMail is not sent from inside the tool. MCP write access covers only notes, person details, custom fields and pipeline moves, and a pipeline move made through MCP does not send that stage's automated email.
Overview
SourceWhale is an AI recruiting platform for agencies: CRM, ATS, multichannel outreach, SMS, WhatsApp, call tasks, a notetaker, an inbox agent, and data refresh. Campaigns can be drafted with AI. LinkedIn steps are commonly handled as manual to-dos, and InMail is not sent from inside the product. The commercial motion is a booked demo. Self-guided tours exist in a demo center.
SourceWhale also runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.sourcewhale.app/mcp. Recruiters add it as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client and sign in with their own SourceWhale account, so the assistant only sees what that person can already see. It can pull a contact's record, past calls and meetings with full transcripts, notes, project pipelines, interviews, tasks and CVs, and it can add notes, edit person details and custom fields, and move people through a project pipeline after asking for confirmation.
Agency desks pick SourceWhale to keep outreach, conversations, and ATS notes in one login instead of ten tools. Pricing is sales-quoted. There is no public free tier and no public seat rate. Named connections include Bullhorn, Vincere, Greenhouse, Lever, Gmail, and Outlook. Buying starts with a demo. The vendor is SourceWhale Ltd, with a New York office listed.

MCP server
https://mcp.sourcewhale.app/mcp
SourceWhale runs a first-party hosted MCP server at mcp.sourcewhale.app/mcp. Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients connect with OAuth, and each recruiter signs in with their own SourceWhale account, so existing permissions still apply. The assistant can search people, companies, projects, notes, campaign tasks and CVs, and read full call and meeting transcripts. It can also make four kinds of update, each confirmed before it runs: add a note, edit a person's details, edit custom fields, and move someone through a project pipeline. Read and write tools can be allowed or blocked one by one.
