OpenCode + InterviewFlowAI
InterviewFlowAI is the AI interview platform OpenCode connects to through MCP. Please keep a human reviewing every change. Part of the InterviewFlowAI AI agents guide.
Illustrative example
Two 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.
Add the following to your opencode.json:
{
"mcp": {
"interviewflowai": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "https://api.interviewflowai.com/mcp"
}
}
}
# Then sign in from your terminal
opencode mcp auth interviewflowaiSign in with your InterviewFlowAI login (email, Google, or LinkedIn) and click Allow access. Or paste the setup prompt from Settings → MCP and AI and let the agent add the server for you. Details in the MCP documentation.
Type the request in plain English. OpenCode 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:
Also try
opencode mcp auth interviewflowaiConnect once and OpenCode 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| opencode.json (recommended) | Add a remote interviewflowai entry, then opencode mcp auth | Browser sign-in | Most OpenCode users |
| Setup prompt | Settings → MCP and AI → Copy setup prompt, then paste it into OpenCode | Browser sign-in, started for you | Letting OpenCode do the setup |
| API key | Send Authorization: Bearer ifk_… with each request | API key that acts as the Owner who created it | Scripts and tools that can’t open a browser |
The same server works with other agents too. See InterviewFlowAI MCP and the AI agents overview.
OpenCode 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.
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent for the terminal that works with many model providers. It reads remote MCP servers from opencode.json, which is how it reaches your InterviewFlowAI workspace.
Both are terminal agents. Claude Code adds the server with one command; OpenCode reads it from opencode.json and lets you choose the model. Both use the same InterviewFlowAI server URL.
| Client | Where it runs | Who it’s for | How you add InterviewFlowAI |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenCode | Terminal | Teams choosing their own model | Remote MCP entry in opencode.json |
| Claude Code | Terminal | Recruiting ops and technical teams | One claude mcp add command in the terminal |
OpenCode works with many model providers, and InterviewFlowAI works the same way whichever model you pick.
One remote entry in opencode.json and one auth command. No client ID or secret.
For a script or tool that can’t open a browser to sign in, use an InterviewFlowAI API key instead of OAuth.
Add InterviewFlowAI as an MCP server and OpenCode 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.

# Then sign in from your terminal
opencode mcp auth interviewflowaiAsk in plain English. OpenCode finds the right Interviewer, reads the results, and answers. When you ask for a change, it shows you a preview first and waits for your yes.
Read-only, safe to start with
Ask about any Interviewer, candidate, or score. Nothing changes in your workspace.
> Which candidates finished the Support Lead interview
this week? Rank them by interview score.
OpenCode: 8 candidates completed it. Top 3:
1. Priya Raghunathan 92
2. Daniel Okafor 89
3. Mei Lin Chow 86
Want their interview summaries?Owners only, every change previewed
Starring, stage moves, reminders, and invites start as a preview listing who is affected and who is skipped.
> Star the top 3 and move them to the Onsite stage.
OpenCode: Here is the preview.
Star Priya, Daniel, Mei Lin
Move to Onsite 3 candidates
Skipped none
Confirm? The preview expires in 10 minutes.
> Yes, confirm.
OpenCode: Done. 3 candidates starred and moved to Onsite.Anything your role allows: Interviewers, candidates, results, stages, reminders, and exports. Here are typical requests and what happens with each one.
Show me the candidates who completed the interview for the Customer Support Interviewer.
Start your review from a list of finished interviews.
Show me the graded role play results for the shortlisted candidates.
Read each candidate’s graded role play alongside their interview.
Remind everyone who hasn’t finished their interview.
Each candidate gets at most one reminder a day, and none after they unsubscribe.
Create an Interviewer from this job description: …
It is created as a private, English web interview of about 10 minutes. Change other settings in InterviewFlowAI.
OpenCode 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 OpenCode 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.
Add the InterviewFlowAI server, 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. OpenCode 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, OpenCode 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.
Check that the interviewflowai entry in opencode.json has type set to remote and the exact server URL, then run opencode mcp auth interviewflowai again and approve the connection. 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 OpenCode once and let it find, review, and act on candidates while you stay in control of every decision.
