The Orbyt MCP API gives you programmatic access to your job search pipeline. You can read and write jobs, contacts, activities, calendar events, and more. The API is available to Ultra plan users.

What is the MCP API?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. Orbyt implements MCP so that Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Apple Shortcuts, Zapier, and any REST client can interact with your pipeline.

What you can do

  • Jobs: List, create, update, change status, and delete jobs in your pipeline
  • Contacts: List, create, update, and delete contacts linked to jobs
  • Activities: Log calls, emails, interviews, and notes
  • Calendar: View upcoming interviews and create events
  • Pipeline: Get a full summary with follow-up suggestions
  • Suggestions: Access AI agent recommendations
  • Webhooks: Subscribe to real-time events (job status changes, new contacts, offers)

Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token. Generate one in Settings > Account > API Keys. Tokens start with ext_ and can be scoped to read-only or read-write.

Rate limits

  • 60 requests per minute
  • 50,000 requests per month
  • Rate limit headers are included in every response

Getting started

See the integration guides for step-by-step setup with Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Apple Shortcuts, or Zapier.
