Official

Setup
Safety check
- Pass
Publisher verified
Documented on docs.ashbyhq.com and ashbyhq.com, endpoint on mcp.ashbyhq.com, and the Claude directory lists it as made by Ashby and Anthropic verified.
- Pass
Auth model
Per-user OAuth; the server returns only what that user can already see in Ashby, with no shared service account. An Org Admin must switch the feature on first.
- Flag
Write and delete access
Write tools create candidates, add notes, move application stages and consider candidates for jobs. No read-only mode is documented; approval prompts are set in each user's client.
- Pass
Tool-description injection scan
Read the setup doc, product update page and directory tool list; no AI-directed instructions found. Hosted tool descriptions were not retrieved.
- Unknown
Repo maintenance
No public repo for the hosted server. Ashby says tool inputs and outputs may change without notice during beta.
