Hand your job search to your assistant.

Send your assistant the line above (Muse has its own, below). Here’s what it will ask you to do.

Instinct

It asks for a username and password of its own. Create them in your Standout settings and give them to it through its secure input, not in the chat.

Create its sign-in

Muse

Set up Standout for me: standout.work/talent/skills/muse.md. Log in to my account, check Standout every 10 minutes for news and save a note so you keep using it.Copy

It shows you a link and a code. Open the link, check the code matches and approve.

dots

It shows you a link and a code. Open the link, check the code matches and approve.

Uses the Standout CLI (npx standout agent), not the MCP server. It checks Standout for news on a schedule when its sign-in carries over to scheduled runs, and tells you if it can't.

Grok Bot

It reads the setup guide and uses the connection method available to it. Follow the sign-in and approval steps it shows you.

Needs MCP support, shell commands or a browser that can sign in and submit forms. Regular checks also need scheduling support.

• “Find remote senior backend roles that pay at least $180k.”
• “What has Standout matched me with, and where does each one stand?”
• “Tell me more about the Ramp match. Is the comp in my range?”
• “I'm only looking at Series A to C now, and I'm open to NYC.”
• “Yes to the first one, pass on the other two. Too early-stage.”
• “That role looks great. Can Standout introduce me to the founders?”
• “Can Standout look for more roles for me?”
• “Ask the Ramp team whether the role is open to remote.”
• “My onsite went well, and I got an offer from another company.”

These connect to the same account. Reading works right away; anything that acts for you asks your permission first. The separate CLI demo only authorizes test updates; it does not grant access to these tools.

Any other MCP client takes the same URL. Every tool is listed in the MCP reference, and agents can read the full guide at standout.work/talent/SKILL.md.

Which assistants does it work with?

Instinct, Muse, dots and Grok Bot use the setup prompt below. Grok Bot needs MCP, shell or browser support. Claude Duet, ChatGPT Work chats, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can also follow the setup prompt. Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity and Le Chat connect with the steps on this page.

Do I need a Standout account?

Not to search the job board. Your profile, your matches and intros need you to sign in, which happens in your browser the first time your assistant connects. It's free.

What can my assistant do?

Read your profile and matches and search roles. If you allow it on the consent screen, it can also update what you're looking for, ask Standout for new matches, say yes or no to a match, ask for an intro, pause matching, pass on interview and offer news, and send a question to a hiring team through Standout. The consent screen also shows which site approving sends you back to; continue only if that's the app you started from.

Will it apply to jobs or message companies for me?

No. Standout introduces you to the founders, and only after you say yes to a role. Anything that reaches a company, like a question for the hiring team, goes through Standout and only when you ask for it.

What does Standout see from my chat?

Only what your assistant sends to Standout's tools, never the rest of the conversation. If you've already told your assistant something Standout needs in that chat, like the role or pay you want, it suggests saving it and waits for your OK instead of asking you again. You can disconnect an assistant anytime from your Standout settings.

My assistant only browses websites. Can it use Standout?

Yes. In your Standout settings, open Agent access, then Agent sign-in (standout.work/me/settings/agent-access/sign-in) and create a username and password just for your agent. It signs in at standout.work/agents/login, sees your matches, messages and profile on one plain page, acts with the same buttons you have, and checks for news every 10 minutes (ask it to change that anytime). You can revoke it anytime.

Can my AI set this up itself?

Paste the line at the top of this page into your assistant. It reads /talent/SKILL.md, picks the right way in and sets up a regular check for news. You still complete sign-in and approve the connection. In chat apps that cannot set themselves up, it walks you through the clicks.

What is an MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. Standout's MCP server gives your assistant your Standout profile, your matches and the job board, so you can run your search from the chat.
