## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "herohunt-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","herohunt-mcp"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# herohunt-mcp

MCP server for the [HeroHunt People Search API](https://www.herohunt.ai/people-search-api). Search for talent across LinkedIn, GitHub, and StackOverflow from any MCP-compatible AI agent.

## Quick Start

### Option 1: Remote URL (recommended)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most modern MCP clients support remote HTTP endpoints directly. No package installation needed.

**Claude Desktop** (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "url": "https://api.herohunt.ai/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Cursor** (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "url": "https://api.herohunt.ai/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 2: stdio (via npx)

For MCP clients that only support stdio transport:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "herohunt-people-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "herohunt-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "HEROHUNT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Example

After connecting, ask your AI agent:

> "Use HeroHunt to find me 5 senior Go engineers in Berlin and summarise the top 3."

The agent will call `people_search` with a natural language query, receive structured profile data (name, title, company, location, skills, platform links), and summarize the results.

To get contact info, ask:

> "Enrich the results with emails and phone numbers."

The agent will call `people_search_paginate` with `enrich: true`.
