The Stardex MCP connection gives supported OpenAI experiences a governed way to work with your recruiting system of record. Add Stardex as a remote MCP server, choose the tools and approval behavior appropriate for your team, and let the assistant retrieve or update authorized records without exporting your database into a separate workflow.

What you can do

Remote MCP connection — Register the Stardex MCP server URL in a supported OpenAI client or Responses API application.

Scoped recruiting tools — Expose only the Stardex search and update actions approved for the workflow.

Approval controls — Keep sensitive or write actions behind the approval behavior configured in the OpenAI client.

Natural-language workflows — Search people, companies, jobs, searches, and activity through an assistant conversation.

Set up in three steps

Copy the Stardex MCP details — In Stardex, open Settings, choose Integrations, and copy the remote MCP server URL and authentication instructions.

Add the remote server — Configure Stardex in your supported OpenAI workspace or application using the MCP server URL, then authenticate and select allowed tools.

Test before enabling writes — Start with a read-only candidate or search lookup, review the returned record, and then enable approved update tools.

Researchers ask an OpenAI assistant to find matching people already stored in Stardex.

Consultants summarize the current state of a search before a client update.

Operations teams build controlled internal workflows with the OpenAI Responses API.

Partners retrieve mandate context without exporting recruiting data to spreadsheets.
