Common questions

Is Applystead safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Applystead MCP server

Search open jobs from employers' own career sites, straight from ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client.

Applystead's MCP server is a remote Model Context Protocol server. Its three job search tools are read-only and open to anyone: they search the open roles Applystead publishes from employers' own career sites, list a company's open jobs, and check whether a job posting is still open. Searching needs no install, no API key and no sign-in. Applystead members can also sign in to use their own account from an AI agent; see the docs.

Server URL: https://applystead.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (one JSON-RPC 2.0 message per POST, one JSON response back)
Authentication: none for job search (up to 60 requests a minute from one address); account tools ask you to sign in (OAuth)
Docs: https://applystead.com/developers

Add it

Claude (custom connector)

In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, choose + Add, then Add custom connector.
Name it Applystead, paste https://applystead.com/mcp and choose Continue, then Continue again.
Under Authentication choose Sign in when needed, keep Use Claude's published identity as the OAuth client, then Add. Job search works without signing in.

ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, open Plugins, choose the plus button, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter Applystead and https://applystead.com/mcp, set the authentication to OAuth, confirm the warning and choose Create as a plugin.
Adding your own MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user applystead https://applystead.com/mcp

claude mcp login applystead # only for account tools; job search needs no sign-in

Codex

codex mcp add applystead --url https://applystead.com/mcp

codex mcp login applystead # only for account tools; job search needs no sign-in

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http applystead https://applystead.com/mcp

For account tools, run /mcp auth applystead inside Gemini CLI; job search needs no sign-in.

Other MCP clients

Any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers works. For example, in a JSON client config:

"mcpServers": { "applystead": { "type": "http", "url": "https://applystead.com/mcp" } } }

Try it with curl:

curl -s https://applystead.com/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' \

-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_jobs","arguments":{"query":"data engineer","remote_country":"US","limit":5}}}'

Job search tools

Read-only and open to anyone. Every job opens on its Applystead job page, with Apply with Applystead.

Tool	Arguments	Returns
`search_jobs`	`query?`, `remote_country?` (2-letter country code), `company?` (name or slug), `kind?` (`internship` or `new-grad`), `pay_listed?`, `posted_within_hours?` (1-720), `limit?` (1-20, default 10)	Matching open jobs, newest first
`get_company_jobs`	`company` (name or slug)	The company's name, open roles and company page, and its 10 newest jobs
`check_job_posting`	`url` (https job posting URL)	Whether the posting is `open`, `closed`, `unknown` or `unsupported`; the URL is never fetched

The other tools act on a signed-in member's own account; https://applystead.com/developers lists them.

"Find remote data engineer jobs in the US posted in the last 3 days."
"Which 2027 software engineering internships list pay?"
"What jobs is Stripe hiring for right now?"
"Is this job posting still open? "
"Show new-grad backend roles posted this week."
