Connect your assistant
Give the assistant you already use a pair of hands
Actuator is a remote MCP server. Add one URL to your assistant, sign in once, choose how much it may spend without asking, and it can post jobs, review ranked applicants, and hire on your behalf, inside the limits you set.
The one URL
https://actuator-mcp.actuator-mcp.workers.dev/mcpUses OAuth: you never paste a key into another product. Tokens expire hourly, and you can disconnect any assistant under Agents.

Any other client
Most clients accept a remote server by URL. If yours wants a JSON config, use this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"actuator": {
"url": "https://actuator-mcp.actuator-mcp.workers.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Running it locally with an API key instead
For clients that only speak stdio, or for scripts: create a key under Agents, then use the published package.
{
"mcpServers": {
"actuator": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@actuator/mcp"
],
"env": {
"ACTUATOR_API_KEY": "act_live_…",
"ACTUATOR_API_URL": "https://api.actuato.com"
}
}
}
}What the assistant can and cannot do
- Post jobs, message workers, review ranked applicants
- Hire and fund only up to the limit you set. Above it, you get an approval request
- Every action is logged under the connected agent
- It can never release payment or change your payout settings
