Post a job from your AI assistant.
CrewPool has an MCP server. An AI assistant that supports MCP, such as Claude, can use it to search the crew list, post a job for you and tell you who said yes. It is in private beta and is not published to any registry or app store.
What it looks like
YouI need 2 crew for a bell tent build near Leeds, 18-19 June.
AssistantI have saved the job. CrewPool has emailed a confirmation link to [email protected]. A job is confirmed by email, and nothing goes to crew until it is.
AssistantCrewPool has now emailed 8 matching crew near LS6 asking if they are free. Ask me later who has said yes.
Assistant3 have said yes: Sam R. (bell tents, Leeds), Jodie P. (dressing, reference confirmed) and Tom H. Want me to pick two?
What it can do today
- Search the list: by skill, town or experience. You see first name and last initial, skills, town and whether a reference is confirmed, for the first 40 matches. No contact details.
- Post a job: it saves the job. A job is confirmed by email: if CrewPool has not confirmed your address on this connection before, it emails you a link first. Once the job is confirmed, matching crew are emailed. Up to 5 jobs a day through the assistant.
- Report who said yes: crew reply by email with one tap, and the assistant reads the replies.
- Pick crew: picked crew are emailed and asked to commit to turning up.
- Record attendance: after the job, mark who turned up and who did not.
What it cannot do today
- Give you a contact number or email. Unlocking a contact is done in your browser, from the search page or your job page. It is free at present, limited to 10 reveals a day and 40 in any 30 days per hirer.
- Confirm your email for you. You click the link in your inbox.
- Filter by date, licences or tickets. The website search can.
- Text anyone. Job offers reach crew by email. Text messages are switched off.
- Run without a key. Searching needs none. Posting and managing jobs needs a CrewPool access key, which only private beta users have.
Private beta. The server runs on your own computer with Node. There is no package to install from npm or an MCP registry. To try it, email
[email protected]. Everything else is free and open:
post a job at /hire and the same crew are emailed.
