Common questions

Is Jobstack MCP 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 3 months 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?

jobstack-mcp

A remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for JobStack — the unified jobs-search API (jobs-api) that fuses official job-board feeds and public ATS boards (USAJOBS, Adzuna, Jooble, The Muse, Reed, and Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby/Workable/SmartRecruiters behind one ats engine) into one flat Job shape.

Live: https://jobstack-mcp.vercel.app/mcp — 2 tools, exposed over the MCP streamable-HTTP transport. Since the upstream jobs-api deployment is metered (RapidAPI/Apify) and its /v1/* routes sit behind a RapidAPI proxy-secret guard, this connector authenticates its own outbound calls with that same secret (JOBSTACK_MCP_PROXY_SECRET, sent as the X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret header) and applies a soft per-IP rate limit (JOBSTACK_MCP_RATE_LIMIT, default 30 tool-calls/hour, in-memory) so the free MCP tier stays a discovery channel rather than an unmetered bypass of the paid listing — see lib/ratelimit.js.

What this is

JobStack is a plain REST API. This repo is a thin adapter that exposes each endpoint as a discoverable, typed MCP tool so MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, any MCP-aware agent) can call it directly, speaking the MCP streamable-HTTP transport at a single /mcp endpoint. It has no business logic of its own — every tool call is a pass-through fetch to jobs-api, and the JSON response is handed back verbatim as the tool result.

Tools

Tool	JobStack endpoint	Description
`search_jobs`	`GET /v1/jobs/search`	Search + merge job postings across all (or a `sources=` subset of) engines, sorted newest-first, paginated.
`get_job`	`GET /v1/jobs/{source}/{id}`	Fetch one job by its source engine + native id (composite `board:company:nativeId` for `ats`).

Both tools are read-only and annotated { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: true }.

`search_jobs` inputs

keywords (string, optional) — free-text search terms.
location (string, optional) — free-text location filter.
remote (boolean, optional) — filter to remote roles where the source signals it.
sources (string, optional) — comma list of engine keys: usajobs, adzuna, jooble, themuse, reed, ats. Omit for all six.
limit (int 1-100, optional, default 20).
offset (int ≥0, optional, default 0).

`get_job` inputs

source (enum: usajobs | adzuna | jooble | themuse | reed | ats).
id (string) — native upstream id from a search result; for ats, the composite board:company:nativeId string.

Config

JOBSTACK_MCP_API_BASE_URL — upstream base URL. Default https://jobs-api-gamma.vercel.app.
JOBSTACK_MCP_PROXY_SECRET — the RapidAPI proxy secret forwarded as X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret on outbound calls (needed for the production origin, which guards /v1/*).
JOBSTACK_MCP_RATE_LIMIT — soft per-IP tools/call cap per hour. Default 30.

Local development

npm install

npm run dev # starts local-server.js on http://localhost:3900 npm run smoke # in another terminal — real HTTP/JSON-RPC smoke test

test/smoke.mjs drives the running server over real HTTP/JSON-RPC and verifies GET /health, initialize (serverInfo.name === "jobstack"), and tools/list (the 2 tools with their zod-derived schemas), then attempts a live search_jobs tools/call. Without JOBSTACK_MCP_PROXY_SECRET set locally the upstream origin returns 403 (its RapidAPI guard) — an expected upstream-auth condition the smoke test reports as a soft warning while still verifying the full protocol surface.

Deploy

cd /Users/isaiahdupree/Software/jobstack-mcp

npx vercel --yes --prod

After deploy, the MCP connector URL to register in Claude/ChatGPT/any MCP client is https:// /mcp.
