Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobseek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@jseek/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add jobseek -- npx -y @jseek/mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobseek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@jseek/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "jobseek": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is Jobseek 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Job Seek

Follow companies you care about. Find the right jobs. Keep your applications moving.

Job Seek brings jobs from thousands of company career pages into one search. Build watchlists, get weekly email job alerts, and track applications in one place. Free to start, with English, German, French, and Italian interfaces.

Try jseek.co → · See the features · Use the MCP server · Add a company · Run it yourself

Tracking Stripe · Anthropic · OpenAI · Figma · Vercel · Datadog · Mistral · Hugging Face · Linear · Notion · Roche · Nestlé · UBS · Swisscom · ABB · SAP · Siemens · Klarna · N26 · Wise · Monzo — and thousands more. Browse the source-of-truth registry in companies.csv.

Why Job Seek

Your next role might be at a company you already admire—or one you haven’t discovered yet. Search across employer career sites, follow a shortlist of companies, and spend less time checking the same pages for updates.

Jobs from the source. Browse employer career pages and ATS feeds. Every listing links back to the original posting.
Filters that travel with you. Combine role, seniority, location, technology, work mode, salary, experience, and posting language, then save your search as a watchlist.
A free job-search workspace. Up to 10 watchlists, weekly email digests, and an application tracker for jobs saved on Job Seek.
A closer fit with Pro. Narrowed reads job descriptions against your personal criteria, beyond job titles and standard filters.
Open-source and accessible from your tools. Use the web app, public REST API, or hosted MCP server.

What you get on jseek.co

Search jobs across company career pages

Explore without an account. Combine filters to find relevant openings across thousands of employers, from engineering and design to finance, operations, healthcare, and more.

Follow companies and get weekly job alerts

Save a watchlist for each direction you’re considering: selected employers, a role, a location, or a combination. Enable notifications to receive a weekly email digest of new matches. Share a watchlist by link with someone else looking for similar work.

Track applications, interviews, and offers

Save a job, record when you apply, add interview rounds and dates, and update the outcome. Your application tracker keeps the original job details alongside your progress; pipeline statistics help you see how the search is going.

Find the work behind the job title with Narrowed

Two roles can have the same title and very different responsibilities. Describe what matters to you in plain language:

I want to work directly with users and turn their problems into product improvements. No people management.

Narrowed checks the descriptions in your watchlist and picks out the matches. It is included with Job Seek Pro; regular search, watchlists, weekly email digests, and application tracking remain free. See Pro details and current availability.

Get to know an employer’s hiring

Company pages bring together current openings, posting activity, and similar employers. Open a role at its source or use what you find to build your next watchlist.

Use Job Seek from AI tools and code

The hosted MCP endpoint exposes tools for job search, posting metadata, company lookup, filter discovery, and prefilled watchlist links. It also accepts bug reports, feature suggestions, and usability feedback through three write tools:

https://jseek.co/mcp

It uses Streamable HTTP and does not require authentication. Add the URL as a custom MCP connector, or run the published package locally:

npx @jseek/mcp-server

See packages/mcp-server/README.md for client-specific setup and tool examples. For direct HTTP integrations, the public REST contract is available at /openapi.json.

Add a company

Open issues labelled company-request are companies waiting to be added. The production backlog is processed by an isolated, Hetzner-hosted Codex runner; contributors can resolve an issue with any capable coding agent that follows the repository instructions.

`ws` is an agent utility. It renders the workflow, manages isolated state, and enforces the validation gates; it is not intended as a hand-configured interactive wizard.

The environment needs git, an authenticated gh CLI, Python 3.13+, and web access. Install the workflow package:

pip install jobseek-crawler-setup

Then give your coding agent this task:

Run ws task --issue and follow the printed instructions.

ws fetches the issue, checks for duplicates, researches the company and all relevant career boards, guides monitor and scraper selection, validates extracted data and brand assets, and opens the pull request. The registered crawler types cover common ATS APIs, sitemaps, structured data, rendered pages, PDFs, and vendor-specific formats.

No issue for the company you want? Request it. Anyone can.

The maintained workflow reference is docs/01-agent-workflow.md.

Architecture

Company and board CSVs are the configuration source of truth. The crawler keeps operational state in its own Postgres database, uses Redis for scheduling, publishes searchable documents to Typesense, and stores full descriptions in S3-compatible object storage. The web app owns authentication, watchlists, and application-tracker data in a separate Postgres boundary.

Start with the maintained documentation index, then read the system overview, crawler architecture, and Typesense reference.

Run it yourself

Job Seek is self-hostable, but the repository currently expects operator-managed services. The root docker-compose.yml is development scaffolding for Postgres and Typesense, not a complete one-command production deployment.

Prerequisites

Python 3.13+ and uv
Node.js 22+ and pnpm 10
A crawler-owned Postgres database
A separate web-owned Postgres database; both databases may run on the same server
Redis
Typesense
S3-compatible object storage for job descriptions

The important environment boundaries are:

Component	Core settings
Crawler database	`LOCAL_DATABASE_URL`
Web database	`WEB_DATABASE_URL` for crawler-side reads; `DATABASE_URL` for the web app
Redis	`REDIS_URL`
Typesense writes	`TYPESENSE_HOST`, `TYPESENSE_PORT`, `TYPESENSE_PROTOCOL`, `TYPESENSE_OPERATIONS_KEY`
Typesense web access	`TYPESENSE_SEARCH_KEY`, `TYPESENSE_WRITE_KEY`, and optionally `TYPESENSE_BROWSER_PARENT_KEY`
Description storage	`R2_ENDPOINT_URL`, `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `R2_BUCKET`, `R2_DOMAIN_URL`
Web authentication	`BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`, `BETTER_AUTH_URL`; OAuth and email providers are optional

After provisioning those services, create apps/crawler/.env.local (using its .env.example as a starting point) and apps/web/.env.local, then initialize in this order:

git clone https://github.com/colophon-group/jobseek

cd jobseek corepack enable pnpm install

Web-owned database

cd apps/web pnpm db:migrate

Crawler-owned database and derived stores

cd ../crawler uv sync uv run playwright install chromium-headless-shell # required by run-browser uv run alembic -c src/migrations/alembic.ini upgrade head uv run crawler setup-typesense uv run crawler sync

A complete crawler deployment keeps four process roles running:

uv run crawler run          # HTTP workers

uv run crawler run-browser # Playwright workers uv run crawler export # Postgres → Typesense CDC uv run crawler drain # descriptions → object storage

Start the frontend separately from apps/web:

pnpm dev                    # http://localhost:3000

Production operators should use scoped Typesense keys and read the deployment and recovery runbooks linked from docs/README.md.
