TVLSS/hirejack-mcp

Model Context Protocol server that exposes HireJack's tech job market
intelligence to MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor,
Cline, etc.) — tech jobs, companies, skills, salaries, hiring trends.
Quick start
**Claude Code:**
**Claude Desktop** — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
(macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
Restart Claude Desktop and ask away (see Example prompts).
The npm package uses **stdio transport** — no auth, runs locally as a
subprocess, and the five public tools work out of the box.
**claude.ai / Claude Desktop connector (all 31 tools):** add
https://hirejack.com/api/mcp as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors →
Add custom connector), sign in with your HireJack account when prompted, and
the full Pro/Premium/Analyst intelligence surface lights up — tier-gated
server-side to your subscription.
Example prompts
**Job search (public, no account):**
- *"Find remote senior backend roles paying $200K+ that sponsor visas"*
- *"What is Stripe currently hiring? Break it down by team."*
- *"Show me staff-level ML jobs in New York with published salary ranges"*
- *"Which companies are hiring Rust engineers right now?"*
**Market research (public, no account):**
- *"Which fintech companies are scaling hiring fastest this month?"*
- *"What skills are trending in tech right now?"*
- *"Compare the tech stacks of Datadog and Grafana Labs"*
- *"What's the median advertised salary for senior data engineers?"*
**Career intelligence (Pro/Premium, via the hosted connector):**
- *"Score my fit for this posting and tell me what's missing: hirejack.com/jobs/…"*
- *"Which skill should I learn next to unlock the most jobs?"*
- *"Where does my salary sit vs the market for staff platform engineers?"*
- *"Rewrite my resume bullets for this Anthropic role"*
**Analyst (historical/segmentation, via the hosted connector):**
- *"Which companies' hiring grew >50% in the last quarter from a real base?"*
- *"Show Nvidia's hiring trajectory over the last 12 months"*
- *"What skills are climbing consistently from a low base — early signals only"*
Slash commands (MCP prompts)
Clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Desktop, Cursor) surface these as
slash commands. All four are built **only** on the tools that work without an
account, so they never dead-end on an auth error:
| Prompt | Arguments | What it does |
|--------|-----------|--------------|
| find_jobs | constraint (required) | Maps a free-form ask ("remote, $200K+, Rust") onto search_jobs filters, loosens one at a time if results are thin, pulls the strongest postings in full. |
| company_deep_dive | company (required) | Resolves a name to a domain, pulls the hiring profile, then shows what is open right now. |
| market_snapshot | focus (optional) | Aggregate market picture, optionally narrowed to a role, skill or city. |
| salary_landscape | role_or_skill (required), location (optional) | What a role actually pays, using only postings that disclose a range. |
The hosted endpoint serves a different, personalized set (career check-ins,
interview prep, match-scored role hunts) because those need an authenticated
profile.
Resources
The server exposes HireJack's controlled vocabulary as MCP resources:
| URI | Contents |
|-----|----------|
| hirejack://vocabulary/skills | Every skill HireJack extracts, with canonical name, id and category |
| hirejack://vocabulary/roles | The role taxonomy: titleId, title, family, IC/management track, typical skills |
Read these before filtering. search_jobs.skill substring-matches the
canonical names, so Kubernetes returns jobs while K8s returns none — and
update_preferences.desired_roles expects titleId values from the roles
