Rank, tier, and reasoning for every profile.
A ranked contact list in three steps.
Merite reviews thousands of profiles for your role, assesses each one, and ranks the strongest candidates by relevance.
- 01
Submit your role
Add the job description, location with postal code, and key parameters. It takes two minutes in the web form, through the API, or via MCP.
- 02
We source and assess
Our infrastructure searches the market for your role and assesses every profile against the position, region, and parameters.
- 03
Get a ranked list with reasoning
Usually within the same business day, you receive a relevance-ranked list with a direct profile link and clear reasoning for every candidate.
Works where you already work.
Merite runs directly in Claude, Codex, or Cursor. One command or a short config entry lets your agent create roles, fill in missing details, and retrieve the finished contact list. Try it in your existing workflow.
MCP server or REST API, the same API key and the same workflow.
claude mcp add --transport http merite \
https://merite.ai/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <api-key>"One command is enough. Transport and authentication headers are included.
export MERITE_API_KEY="<api-key>"
codex mcp add merite \
--url https://merite.ai/api/mcp \
--bearer-token-env-var MERITE_API_KEYThe key stays in an environment variable, never as plain text in the config.
{
"mcpServers": {
"merite": {
"url": "https://merite.ai/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <api-key>" }
}
}
}Add this to your MCP configuration and enable the server.
First call
Once connected, your agent calls get_account to confirm that the endpoint and key are working.
Without MCP: use the skill
No MCP-enabled client? Your agent can read one file and use the API directly. Download the skill and give it to your assistant as context.

Worth a closer look, with one open question. Valuable as a second priority.
Assessed but lower priority. Fully reviewed and documented so you can see what was screened out. Classified, not ignored.

How quickly will I receive the list?
Usually within the same business day. You start the role, we source and assess, and you receive the ranked list without waiting for weeks.
What does “2,000 candidates” mean?
We source and assess up to 2,000 profiles per role. If you need a broader pool, each top-up adds another 1,000 assessed profiles.

What happens if a run fails?
The package you used is automatically credited back to your balance, with no questions asked and no support ticket. Start the role again or use the credit for another role.
How do you handle privacy?
EU hosting, data minimization, a DPA on request, and a documented deletion process. See the privacy policy for details.
Can my own AI agent run the workflow?
