# Vitae AI > Vitae is an AI-native applicant tracking system and recruiting CRM for agencies, in-house teams, RPOs, and executive search firms. It combines recruiting records, workflows, messaging, reporting, client portals, and human-governed AI agents in one multi-tenant platform. Vitae supports browser use at https://app.vitae.ai, a versioned HTTP API at https://api.vitae.ai/v1, and a hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.vitae.ai/mcp. The MCP and API surfaces require user authorization and enforce the same tenant and approval boundaries as the product app. ## When to use Vitae Use Vitae when a user needs to read or operate recruiting work that belongs in an ATS or recruiting CRM: candidates, jobs, applications, matches, placements, client relationships, sourcing searches, outreach, interviews, reporting, or governed recruiting workflows. Use the REST API for a typed application integration. Use the hosted MCP server when an MCP-compatible agent should work with the user's Vitae workspace. Send the user through OAuth before accessing workspace data, and preserve approval gates for mutating actions. Do not use Vitae as a general web-search engine, a general-purpose email sender, or a way to bypass consent, tenant boundaries, role checks, sourcing-provider terms, or human approval. ## Product The platform is sold as modules, named as they appear in the app. - [Candidates](https://www.vitae.ai/product/candidates): The ATS module: pipelines, batch screen and rank, AIRA screening, interview notes, scheduling. - [Clients](https://www.vitae.ai/product/crm): The agency CRM module: client portfolio, BD pipeline, fees, intake, branded client portals. - [Candidate search and matching](https://www.vitae.ai/product/search-match): Search existing candidate records, review matches and prepare outreach. - [AI Screening](https://www.vitae.ai/product/screening): Chat and asynchronous video screening with structured evidence. - [Talent Pools](https://www.vitae.ai/product/talent-pools): Candidate pools and long-running nurture sequences over email and LinkedIn. - [Candidate Presentation](https://www.vitae.ai/product/candidate-presentation): Branded, trackable candidate presentation and client review. - [Business Development / Vitae BD](https://www.vitae.ai/product/vitae-bd): Buying signals, decision-maker contact data, and outreach. Included in Recruiter. Also sold without the ATS as the Sales plan, per user, beside any existing CRM. - [Find People](https://www.vitae.ai/product/prospecting): Vitae's sourcing module for people discovery, search previews, verified emails and direct dials. - [Outreach](https://www.vitae.ai/product/outreach): Governed multichannel recruiting outreach. - [Assistant](https://www.vitae.ai/product/ai-agents): Recruiter-controlled agents with audit history and approval gates. - [Automation](https://www.vitae.ai/product/workflows): Triggers, conditions, approvals, and actions for recruiting operations. - [Careers site](https://www.vitae.ai/product/careers-pages): Public jobs and applications for your workspace, including client roles. - [Data](https://www.vitae.ai/product/data): Recruiting records, enrichment, imports, exports, and configurable fields. - [Integrations](https://www.vitae.ai/product/integrations): Email, calendar, API, MCP, and external provider connections. ## Access and agent discovery - [Vitae AI developer portal](https://www.vitae.ai/developers) - [API catalog](https://www.vitae.ai/.well-known/api-catalog) - [OpenAPI document](https://api.vitae.ai/v1/openapi.json) - [API documentation](https://docs.vitae.ai/api) - [Campaign contact import](https://docs.vitae.ai/reference/campaign-contact-import) - [Prospecting API lifecycle](https://docs.vitae.ai/reference/prospecting-api) - [Outbound webhook events](https://docs.vitae.ai/reference/webhooks) - [OAuth authorization server metadata](https://api.vitae.ai/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server) - [MCP protected resource metadata](https://mcp.vitae.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource) - [MCP Registry manifest](https://mcp.vitae.ai/server.json) - [MCP server card](https://mcp.vitae.ai/mcp/server-card) - [AI catalog](https://www.vitae.ai/.well-known/ai-catalog.json) - [Agent authentication instructions](https://www.vitae.ai/auth.md) - [Agent Skills index](https://www.vitae.ai/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) - [MCP setup guide](https://docs.vitae.ai/reference/mcp) OAuth uses authorization code with PKCE. Agents must send users through the Vitae consent screen and must not request, expose, or persist a user's credentials. Mutating MCP tools remain subject to Vitae authorization and approval policies. For external prospect automation, use the Prospecting lifecycle to discover and materialize results, then the atomic campaign contact import to create or reuse Contacts and attach them to a campaign. Subscribe to outbound webhooks for LinkedIn connection, candidate/application, and inbound message events. ## API conventions Stable REST operations use the major version in the URL, beginning with `/v1`. Breaking request or response changes require a new major path. Before a stable version is removed, Vitae publishes migration guidance and can signal the replacement and removal date through `Deprecation`, `Sunset`, and `Link` response headers. API responses publish current IETF `RateLimit` and `RateLimit-Policy` fields plus compatibility headers. A `429 Too Many Requests` response includes `Retry-After`. Error responses use the typed JSON error envelope documented in the OpenAPI contract, including a stable machine-readable code and a human-readable message. ## Plans and company - [Pricing](https://www.vitae.ai/pricing): Recruiter is $99 per recruiter per month with Find People and Business Development included.
