Candidate Pipeline Manager

Manages recruiting pipeline by tracking candidates across stages, scheduling interviews, sending status updates, and logging activity. Integrates with ATS systems and calendar.

Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

Linkedin
GoogleSheets
Gmail
GoogleCalendar

Setup Guide

1

Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

Create Arcade Account →
2

Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to MCP Gateway page in Arcade, then click Create MCP Gateway.

Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what you'll configure in Agent Builder):

Example: If you choose slug my-agent, your MCP URL will be:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent

Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:

Linkedin.CreateTextPost
GoogleSheets.GetSpreadsheet
GoogleSheets.UpdateCells
GoogleSheets.CreateSpreadsheet
Gmail.ListEmails
Gmail.SendEmail
Gmail.ReplyToEmail
GoogleCalendar.ListEvents
GoogleCalendar.CreateEvent
GoogleCalendar.UpdateEvent
Choose your tools in Arcade MCP Gateway

Why this matters: Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 10 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.
