Praxicraft Assess API for Technical Hiring

Coding agents work best with three primitives: docs search, live API tools, and skills (procedural cheat sheets). Praxicraft Assess ships all three.

Pick a path

Agent Plugin (recommended)

One install → Knowledge MCP + API MCP + eight skills

API MCP only

Call Assess tools from Cursor / Claude / Codex

Knowledge MCP only

Search docs — no API credentials

Skills CLI

npx skills add without the full plugin

What each piece does

Primitive	Endpoint / package	Auth	Use for
Knowledge MCP	`https://docs.praxicraft.com/mcp`	None	Semantic search + reading Assess docs
API MCP	`https://assess.praxicraft.com/mcp` or `@praxicraft/assess-mcp`	OAuth (live) or `PRAXICRAFT_API_KEY`	Invites, webhooks, pipelines, results
Skills	Agent Plugin / `npx skills add`	—	Correct patterns (HMAC, `external_id`, ATS loops)

Knowledge MCP cannot invite candidates. API MCP does not replace reading docs for payload shapes — use both.

Agent Plugin

Source: praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin (Agent Plugins 1.0). Until the public repo is live, clone or symlink from your local checkout.

Cursor

git clone https://github.com/praxicraft-platform/praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin.git \
  ~/.cursor/plugins/local/praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin

Restart Cursor. Skills load from skills/; MCP servers from .mcp.json.

Claude Code

claude plugins marketplace add praxicraft-platform/praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin
claude plugins install praxicraft-assess@praxicraft

Codex CLI

codex plugin marketplace add praxicraft-platform/praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin

Then /plugins → install praxicraft-assess.

Skills included

Skill	When it loads
`assess-best-practices`	Auth, scopes, errors, architecture
`live-test-mode`	`ct_live_` vs `ct_test_`, go-live
`webhook-hmac`	HTTPS destinations + signature verify
`invitations-external-id`	Invites + ATS join keys
`ats-invite-loops`	Stage → invite → score-back
`pipelines`	Multi-stage enroll / advance
`sdk-webhooks-verify`	Official SDK verify helpers
`mcp-scopes`	Hosted vs stdio MCP, IP allowlists

Try this prompt

Invite a Greenhouse candidate with external_id set to their Candidate ID, then add a webhook handler that verifies X-Praxicraft-Signature and posts a note on candidate.passed.

Knowledge MCP

Connect any MCP client (no credentials):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "praxicraft-assess-knowledge": {
      "url": "https://docs.praxicraft.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools search the Assess docs site and read page content. Discovery card: https://docs.praxicraft.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

Skills

Install Mintlify-hosted skills (and the suite after deploy):

npx skills add https://docs.praxicraft.com

Or install from the Agent Plugin repo:

npx skills add praxicraft-platform/praxicraft-assess-agent-plugin

Also available: llms.txt and .md on every page — see Using docs with LLMs.

API MCP

Full setup (Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, stdio): MCP (Coding Agents). Hosted OAuth is always live. For Test mode, use stdio with a ct_test_ key via @praxicraft/assess-mcp.

Security

Prefer hosted OAuth over pasting live keys into agent config
Develop with ct_test_ keys
Never commit ct_live_, ct_test_, or whsec_ secrets
Review agent-generated handlers for raw-body HMAC verification
