What is an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that lets agents like Claude use outside tools. Connect Slash Trace once and your agent can read your watchlist, check for new roles, and set up tracking in plain conversation.
Do I need an AI agent to use Slash Trace?
No. Dashboard, email alerts, Slack alerts, and webhooks all work on their own. The agent connection is one more way in.
Which agents does it work with?
Claude (one-click connector), ChatGPT, and any MCP client. The REST API covers everything else.
How fast are alerts?
Ultra checks every 15 minutes, Pro hourly. Alerts fire the moment we detect a change.
Can it read pages behind bot protection?
Yes. The engine renders JavaScript and gets past bot-blockers and AI-scraper walls. If the page loads in a browser, we can monitor it.
What counts as a tracked company?
One careers page you're watching. Swap companies in and out anytime.
