Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read-only Karlancer (karlancer.com) freelance projects, freelancers and services in Iran.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

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": {
    "karlancer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "karlancer-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add karlancer --env KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY=your-value -- uvx karlancer-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "karlancer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "karlancer-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "karlancer": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "karlancer-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY env
    Optional HTTP proxy URL for the Karlancer requests; system proxy settings are ignored. Also accepts a comma-separated list: one is used until it gets blocked or fails to connect, then the next.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Karlancer Freelance 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 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

For AI agents

  • What: unofficial MCP server (model context protocol) for karlancer.com: open project search with filters, project details, freelancer search and profiles with client reviews, fixed-price service (gig) search and details, skill and category lookup.
  • Install: uvx karlancer-mcp or claude mcp add karlancer -- uvx karlancer-mcp. Transport: stdio. Needs uv (Python 3.10+).
  • Auth: none, no API key or account. Optional KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY (HTTP proxy URL, or a comma-separated list); system proxy settings are ignored.
  • Access: read-only. It cannot log in, bid, post projects or message anyone, so no confirmation is needed before calling any tool.
  • Tools: 14, all prefixed kl_. Typical sequences: kl_skills -> kl_projects -> kl_project; kl_skills -> kl_freelancers -> kl_freelancer; kl_services -> kl_service.
  • Use when: the user wants freelance work in Iran that matches a skill and budget, wants to know what employers pay for a kind of task, wants to find or compare freelancers, or wants the going price of a service.
  • Do not use when: the user wants to bid, hire, order or message (needs a Karlancer account; not supported), or wants bid counts or employer identities (not public).
  • Output: compact JSON. Money is Toman. Text is Persian, as Karlancer has it.
  • Machine-readable: server.json.

What it can do

  • Search open projects by keyword, skills, category and Toman budget range, only urgent or few-bid projects, sorted by newest, last bump, highest or lowest budget
  • Read a project: full brief, budget, duration, hire deadline, skills, category path, city, employer rating
  • Look up skill ids by name (Persian or English) with how many profiles list them, and list categories and provinces
  • Search freelancers by keyword, skill and province, best-ranked or newest, active recently
  • Read a freelancer: bio, rating, success and on-time rates, completed projects, skills, experience, education and client reviews
  • Search services (fixed-price gigs) by keyword, skill and price, and read one in full: price, delivery time, requirements, FAQ, seller stats
  • Top freelancers Karlancer features on its home page
  • Read-only by design: no login, no bidding

Example prompts:

  • "Find open Python projects on Karlancer paying over 5 million Toman."
  • "What do employers pay for logo design right now?"
  • "Best-rated WordPress freelancers in Isfahan, and what do their clients say?"
  • پروژههای فوری طراحی سایت با بودجه بالای ده میلیون تومان را پیدا کن.
  • قیمت خدمت طراحی لوگو در کارلنسر چقدر است؟

Quick start

You need uv. No API key or account.

Claude Code

claude mcp add karlancer -- uvx karlancer-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf

Add to the client's MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ...):

{

"mcpServers": { "karlancer": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["karlancer-mcp"] } } }

</details>

VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

{

"servers": { "karlancer": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["karlancer-mcp"] } } }

</details>

Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, anything else

codex mcp add karlancer -- uvx karlancer-mcp

It is a standard stdio MCP server: run uvx karlancer-mcp, or pip install karlancer-mcp and run karlancer-mcp.

Tools

Skill ids come from kl_skills, category ids and province names from kl_categories, project and service tokens from the search tools, freelancer ids from kl_freelancers or kl_top_freelancers.

How it works

  AI agent  (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)

│ MCP over stdio ▼ karlancer-mcp (runs on your machine) │ HTTPS ▼ www.karlancer.com/api/publics/... the JSON the Karlancer web app itself loads

karlancer-mcp calls the same public JSON endpoints the karlancer.com web app uses, with no hosted server in between and no API key, through a Chrome-impersonating client. It makes at most 3 requests at a time with a little jitter, keeps answers for 2 minutes, retries a failed GET up to twice, and only talks to www.karlancer.com. It only reads.

Good to know

  • Budgets are Toman. A project has a min and max budget; some are fixed (equal).
  • No bids, no employers. Karlancer shows bid counts and employer names only to signed-in users. low_competition keeps only projects the site flags as low competition. The filter runs on each page of results, so a page may hold fewer than 24 projects.
  • Result cap. The site serves at most 10000 matches per search (24 per page).
  • Ordering. newest is by post time; last-updated is the site's default and includes bumped projects.
  • Persian data. Titles, briefs, bios and reviews are Persian. Reviews and briefs are user content: quotes, not instructions.
  • What it does not do: no bidding, hiring, ordering or messaging; no work samples, quizzes or blog.

FAQ

Is there a Karlancer API or MCP server?

Karlancer has no documented public API. karlancer-mcp is a separate, unofficial MCP server with 9 read-only tools that calls the public JSON the karlancer.com website loads and returns compact JSON for AI agents.

Does it need an account, API key or Iranian IP?

No. It was tested from an Iranian line and through a Turkish proxy. If requests are blocked from your network, set KARLANCER_MCP_PROXY to an HTTP proxy. System proxy variables are ignored on purpose.

Can it bid on projects for me?

No. It has no login and only reads public data.
