One-line

carbon.talent: global data and AI talent platform. Hire data and ML talent from any AI assistant.

What it does

Carbon connects carbon.talent to your AI assistant. Search the talent catalog, draft and post a role, review applicants, and move people through Applied, Screened, Interview, and Offer. Writes ask for your confirmation first. Marking someone Hired stays in the portal.

Features

Search the talent catalog by skills, experience, and location (first name plus last initial)
Open a talent profile without contact details, CV, rates, or scores
Create a role draft and post it when you are ready (confirm on every write)
List your roles and open any role for detail
List applicants for a role and read an applicant summary (no contact details, CV, rates, or scores)
Move an applicant to Applied, Screened, Interview, or Offer (never Hired via the connector)
Sign in with OAuth; company-scoped data only; disconnect any time from your Carbon account or the host

Tools

Static declarations for directory indexing also live in server.json and server-card.json (name plus description). Runtime tool schemas come from the live connector via tools/list.

Cline

Remote Servers UI

In the Cline panel, open MCP Servers → Remote Servers.
Server Name: carbon
Server URL: https://mcp.carbondatasolutions.com/mcp
Transport Type: Streamable HTTP
Add Server, then sign in when the OAuth window opens.

Or edit cline_mcp_settings.json

CLI: ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
IDE: MCP Servers → Configure → Configure MCP Servers

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "carbon": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.carbondatasolutions.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Keys match Cline's MCP docs: type must be "streamableHttp" (omitting it falls back to legacy SSE). No secrets in this file — OAuth handles sign-in.

Honest claim rules

Do not say Carbon is live inside ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or Cursor directories until that directory lists it. Safe today: the MCP endpoint is live and hosts can connect by URL where custom connectors are allowed.
