Calaf

Connect your AI assistant to Calaf

Calaf is an MBA recruiting manager: firms, contacts, applications, interview prep, and AI coaching in one recruiting book. Calaf speaks MCP, so the assistant you already pay for — Claude, ChatGPT, an IDE agent — can research at whatever depth you want and stock your book with the results.

Two servers

Server	URL	Auth	What it does
Calaf	https://calaf.ai/api/mcp-account	OAuth (your Calaf account)	Everything below, plus workspace, seed, firm-research, network, and pipeline tools — import/export seeds, research firms to house depth (submit_firm_profile), log touchpoints and deals on the work log, complete contacts, schedule interviews, and add tasks to the user's calendar — your assistant lands validated content in your book, and can read a workspace back out to improve and re-import it.
Calaf Seed Tools	https://calaf.ai/api/mcp	None	get_seed_format and validate_seed only — author and check seed files without a Calaf account.

Both are listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.calaf/calaf and ai.calaf/seeds. If you connect the account server, you never need the other one.

Connect from claude.ai

1. Go to Settings → Connectors (claude.ai/settings/connectors).
2. Click Add custom connector. Name it Calaf, paste https://calaf.ai/api/mcp-account, leave Client ID and Secret empty, and add it.
3. Click Connect. You'll land on Calaf's consent screen — sign in if you aren't already, review what the connection can do, and approve.

Connect from Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http calaf https://calaf.ai/api/mcp-account

Other MCP clients: add a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with the same URL; the OAuth flow is standard (dynamic client registration + PKCE).

Things to try

• "Write me a seed of 30 lower-middle-market PE funds that hire MBA associates, validate it, and import it into my book."
• "Read Calaf's seed format, then turn my target list from this conversation into a seed and validate it until it's clean."
• "List my Calaf workspaces and import these interview prep questions into the consulting one."
• "Validate this seed file and explain every issue before I import it."

What a connection can and cannot do

• Every read and write runs as you, under your account's own permissions — a connected assistant can only ever touch your book, never anyone else's.
• Imports are additive and deduplicated: re-importing a file lands nothing new, and nothing is deleted or overwritten.
• People are staged, never written directly. Contacts in a seed file arrive as a reviewable batch in Calaf (under Network): accept everyone in one tap, deselect any, discard the batch — or undo it after accepting. Nothing reaches your contacts until you decide. A wrong firm wastes an afternoon; a wrong person is an email to someone who doesn't exist — so that one glance stays yours.
• Your assistant never sees your Calaf password — the connection uses OAuth, and you can disconnect at any time from your assistant's settings.

For integrations without MCP

POST a draft seed document to https://calaf.ai/api/seed-validate (no auth, CORS-open) for the same parser verdict the app's importer uses — see the seed file format.
