com.sourcerdesk/sourcers-desk (MCP Server)

This MCP server provides “recruiter-grade” boolean/x-ray search strings derived from a 20-year sourcing playbook. It exposes two tools for generating production-ready role-search queries that include title variants, skill terms, and LinkedIn/open-web x-ray strings, along with iteration guidance.

🛠️ Key Features

Generates expanded title variants using OR logic and noise caps
Adds practitioner “shibboleth” skill terms
Produces LinkedIn x-ray strings with exact-phrase locations
Produces open-web resume strings with area-code location groups
Includes iteration advice
Backed by a live endpoint: POST https://sourcerdesk.com/api/v1/boolean

⚡ Developer Benefits

Simplifies creation of boolean/x-ray search strings for AI agents and developers
Standardizes output for recruiting query workflows

⚠️ Limitations

Uses a pay-per-call model after a free allowance (3 free calls/day/IP, then ~ $0.02 per call)
Tooling is limited to what the API returns (boolean/x-ray strings and related guidance)

{ "type": "object", "properties": { "role_description": { "title": "Role Description", "type": "string" }, "location": { "default": "", "title": "Location", "type": "string" }, "target": { "default": "both", "title": "Target", "type": "string" }, "constraints": { "default": "", "title": "Constraints", "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "role_description" ], "title": "generate_boolean_searchArguments" }

Sourcer's Desk API — documentation

Pay-per-call recruiting expertise for AI agents and developers: POST a role description, get back production-grade boolean/x-ray search strings the way a 20-year recruiter actually writes them.

Live endpoint: POST https://sourcerdesk.com/api/v1/boolean

What you get: expanded title variants (OR'd, capped where noise starts), practitioner "shibboleth" skill terms, LinkedIn x-ray strings with exact-phrase locations, open-web resume strings with area-code location groups, iteration advice.

Pricing: 3 free calls/day/IP, then ~$0.02 per call via x402 on three rails — 0.05 XNO (feeless Nano), or $0.025 USDC on Base or Polygon.

Quality: blind A/B-evaluated against a bare same-model LLM before launch — the playbook engine was preferred 10/10. Methodology and caveats: EVAL.md.

For recruiters using Claude or ChatGPT: add it as an MCP connector in about 30 seconds, no wallet needed — MCP.md.
