Safety check

  • Pass

    Publisher verified

    Documented on support.greenhouse.io; the Claude directory lists it 'Made by Greenhouse Software, Inc.', Anthropic verified.

  • Pass

    Auth model

    OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration; tokens last about an hour; each tool acts under the user's own permissions.

  • Pass

    Write and delete access

    Admin-controlled: with no MCP Access setup only seven read-only scopes apply, read-only is possible, all DELETE endpoints are blocked, and five actions (reject, hire, merge, anonymize, bulk-revoke permissions) need explicit human confirmation. 159 tools include bulk create and user-management writes once enabled.

  • Unknown

    Tool-description injection scan

    Only 24 of 159 tool ids were visible on the directory page and no descriptions; support articles contain no AI-directed text.

    Repo maintenance

    Closed-source hosted service; no repository.

Can it delete candidates or data?

No. Greenhouse says all DELETE endpoints are permanently blocked for MCP. It can anonymize candidates after human confirmation.
