ChatGPT + InterviewFlowAI
InterviewFlowAI is the AI interview platform ChatGPT connects to through MCP. Please keep a human reviewing every change. Part of the InterviewFlowAI AI agents guide.
Illustrative example
Three steps, including a browser sign-in. You need an InterviewFlowAI account on a paid plan or the 7-day free trial, and no API key.
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors. If you don’t see a Create button, turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings first.
Name InterviewFlowAI
URL https://api.interviewflowai.com/mcp
Authentication OAuth
Client ID (leave empty)
Client secret (leave empty)Sign in with your InterviewFlowAI login (email, Google, or LinkedIn) and click Allow access. Details in the MCP documentation.
Type the request in plain English. ChatGPT asks InterviewFlowAI for the data and answers from your workspace.
Show me the top 3 candidates by interview score for the Support Lead Interviewer.
8 candidates completed the interview. Here are the top 3:

https://api.interviewflowai.com/mcpConnect once and ChatGPT can reach every AI Interviewer, candidate, and result in your workspace, with the same access as your InterviewFlowAI role.
Use the first option unless you have a reason not to. Every route reaches the same InterviewFlowAI MCP server at https://api.interviewflowai.com/mcp.
| Method | How you connect | Sign-in | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom connector | Settings → Apps & Connectors → Create | OAuth sign-in | Most ChatGPT users |
| Developer mode | Advanced settings → Developer mode, if you don’t see Create | Same OAuth sign-in | Accounts where Create is hidden |
| Codex | codex mcp add in the terminal or Codex Desktop | OAuth sign-in with codex mcp login | Working with files and exports |
The same server works with other agents too. See InterviewFlowAI MCP and the AI agents overview.
ChatGPT already sits where you work. With InterviewFlowAI connected, a question about your pipeline gets an answer from your real candidates and interviews instead of a generic one.
Sort and filter candidates by interview, resume, or assessment score, and get a ranked list back in one request.
Read interview results, resume feedback, and each candidate’s timeline of emails, reminders, and stage changes.
List your role plays and read each candidate’s graded result alongside their AI interview.
Owners can star candidates, move them between hiring stages, and update notes and custom fields.
Owners can remind unfinished candidates, invite new ones, give extra time, and send role plays.
Owners can draft an AI Interviewer from a job description, or create and clone one, then fine-tune it in InterviewFlowAI.
ChatGPT is OpenAI’s AI assistant. Connectors let ChatGPT call tools from other services over MCP. With Developer mode on, you can create a custom connector for InterviewFlowAI and use it in your chats.
Use ChatGPT for conversational review: ranking candidates, reading interviews, and sending reminders. Use Codex if you work in the terminal or the Codex app and want candidate exports in your project files. Both use the same server URL.
| Client | Where it runs | Who it’s for | How you add InterviewFlowAI |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | ChatGPT | Recruiting teams | Connector in Settings → Apps & Connectors |
| Codex | Terminal and Codex Desktop | Teams already using Codex | codex mcp add command or ~/.codex/config.toml (CLI and Codex Desktop) |
Draft a job description in ChatGPT, then turn it into an AI Interviewer without copying it into another app.
Instead of pasting candidate details into the chat, ChatGPT asks InterviewFlowAI for them when a question needs it.
The connector uses OAuth. Leave the client ID and secret empty and sign in with your InterviewFlowAI login.
Add InterviewFlowAI as an MCP server and ChatGPT sees the InterviewFlowAI tools the moment you sign in. Your role decides which ones: Viewers get the read tools, and Owners also get the tools that make changes.

Read-only, safe to start with
Ask about any Interviewer, candidate, or score. Nothing changes in your workspace.

Show me the top 5 candidates by interview score for the Senior Engineer Interviewer.
Get a ranked starting point for recruiter review in one question.
Remind everyone who hasn’t finished their interview.
Owners get a preview listing who will be emailed and who is skipped, then confirm.
Create an Interviewer from this job description: …
ChatGPT drafts the role and interview questions for you to edit before the Interviewer is created.
Invite the shortlisted candidates to the customer-call role play, and show me their results when they’re done.
Send a published role play and read each graded result later in the same chat.
ChatGPT gets the same access as your InterviewFlowAI role, so it can never do more than your own account. Viewers’ assistants never see the tools that make changes.
Resumes, interview answers, and other candidate content can contain instructions aimed at AI assistants. If ChatGPT proposes a change or an email you didn’t ask for, say no, and keep its own approval prompt on for InterviewFlowAI tools. Scripts that can’t open a browser can use an InterviewFlowAI API key instead.
Can’t find an answer? Read the MCP documentation or email support@interviewflowai.com.
Open Apps & Connectors, create the connector, then sign in. The server URL is https://api.interviewflowai.com/mcp. Setup takes a few minutes, and you sign in with your usual InterviewFlowAI login.
No. ChatGPT signs in with OAuth: you approve the connection with your InterviewFlowAI email and password, Google, or LinkedIn login. You only need an API key for a script or tool that can’t open a browser to sign in. An API key acts as the Owner who created it, including write actions, so keep it private.
Everyone can list and search AI Interviewers, filter candidates by interview, resume, or assessment score, read interview results, resume feedback, timelines, and role play results, and export candidates to CSV. Owners can also star candidates, move them between stages, update notes, send reminders and invites, give candidates more time, invite them to role plays, and create or clone AI Interviewers.
No. Before any change, and before any email to a candidate, ChatGPT shows you a preview of what will happen, including any candidates it will skip and why. Nothing happens until you confirm, and a preview expires after 10 minutes. Viewers have read-only access, and their assistant never sees the tools that make changes.
If there is no Create button in Apps & Connectors, turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings. If the connector exists but returns nothing, check that Authentication is set to OAuth with the client ID and secret left empty, then click Connect again. Also check that your InterviewFlowAI subscription or 7-day trial is active, because an expired account refuses the connection.
Yes. MCP is available on every paid plan and during the 7-day free trial. You can make up to 60 requests per minute, counted across all the assistants you connect.
Open Settings → Connected apps in InterviewFlowAI and click Disconnect next to it. The assistant loses access right away and must ask you again before it can reconnect.
Connect InterviewFlowAI to ChatGPT once and let it find, review, and act on candidates while you stay in control of every decision.
