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. eRecruiter doesn't currently expose this surface - that's the gap.
eRecruiter is right when you want an established, mature DACH applicant management that has existed since 2001, that you can run as cloud or on-premise, and that can evaluate over 100 recruiting KPIs. For larger recruiting departments with their own reporting ambitions, and for organisations that need on-premise for regulatory reasons, that's a strong argument. KI BMS is right for modern teams up to 100 staff that want KI pre-sort with reasoning as a default, want to be productive in hours not weeks, and prefer public, monthly-cancellable prices. Both are DACH-centric and take GDPR seriously - they target different generations of buyers.
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. eRecruiter 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.
