Cursor and VS Code

In Cursor and VS Code you add Tahoe with a few lines in a settings file, then sign in from the editor. This suits recruiters and recruiting operations teams who already work in an editor, for example to keep job descriptions or sourcing notes next to their Tahoe searches.

You need a paid Tahoe plan, and AI apps must be allowed in your workspace (they are by default). Connect your AI app explains the Tahoe sign-in page.

Cursor#

1. Open Settings → Tools & MCP and click New MCP server. Cursor opens the file ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
2. Add Tahoe to the file and save it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tahoe": { "url": "https://mcp.hiretahoe.com/mcp" }
  }
}

3. Tahoe appears in the list with Needs login. Click it, sign in to Tahoe, choose your workspace and click Allow.

If the file already lists other servers, add the tahoe entry next to them inside mcpServers.

VS Code#

In VS Code, Tahoe works in GitHub Copilot Chat. Add it with the Command Palette or with a settings file.

With the Command Palette: run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP, paste https://mcp.hiretahoe.com/mcp and name it tahoe.

With a settings file: add Tahoe to .vscode/mcp.json in your project, or to your user settings:

{
  "servers": {
    "tahoe": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.hiretahoe.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Then:

1. Click Start above the tahoe entry and accept the sign-in prompt.
2. Sign in to Tahoe, choose your workspace and click Allow.
3. Open Copilot Chat, switch it to Agent mode and ask your question. Tahoe’s tools are used in agent mode.

Commands and cards#

Both editors show Tahoe’s ready-made commands when you type / in the chat, and some answers appear as interactive cards. Slash commands and skills
