MCP / AI Engine Settings

Where to configure​

Open:

  • Settings > MCP Settings

This page controls the OpenPostings MCP application agent (AI service engine behavior).

Installer dependency​

For MSI installs, MCP runtime is included when you choose:

  • Complete, or
  • Custom with MCP Apply Agent Server (AI Service Engine) enabled

Core safety toggles​

  • Enable MCP application agent: master switch for MCP candidate/apply endpoints.
  • Dry run only (do not submit): records payload preview without committing applications.
  • Require final user approval: blocks commit unless explicit approval is provided.
