Same product, same surface for humans and AI agents. MCP server + CLI + drop-in clients in 15 languages.

KI BMS ships an MCP server you can wire into Claude Desktop or any MCP client in five lines. The same auth + access gates apply, the same audit log records every action, the same rate limits apply. Greenhouse doesn't currently expose this surface - that's the gap.
Greenhouse is clearly the leader for US tech companies that have a dedicated recruiting team with their own sourcers, coordinators, and a documented hiring process. For a 1-3 person German HR team that doesn't think in English, the tool is often too big, too expensive, and too complex to configure. KI BMS isn't trying to clone Greenhouse for Germany - it's a deliberately leaner tool that serves the 80% recruiting reality where nobody needs 18 approval stages.
Agent surface
KI BMS ships an MCP server, a CLI, and drop-in clients in 15 languages. They're auto-generated from the same schema your UI uses; the auth, the access gates, the rate limits, the audit log all apply identically whether you're clicking buttons or calling the API. Greenhouse doesn't currently expose this surface, which is the gap a serious agent integration trips over - the agent ends up scraping the UI through a browser, which is fragile, slow, and silently bypasses everything below.
