Joblet.ai Claude Connector (v1 — text replies)

A remote MCP server that lets Claude search live joblet.ai jobs. Two read-only tools:

• search_jobs — search by title/keywords + optional company, location, employment type.

• get_job_details — full posting (description, responsibilities, requirements, salary, apply link) by job id.

v1 returns plain text/markdown replies. The interactive job-card widget is a later layer.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+ (tested on 24).

• No API key — joblet.ai's search/detail API is public.

Install & run

npm install
npm start            # starts on http://localhost:3000  (MCP at /mcp)
# use another port if 3000 is busy:
PORT=3010 npm start

Health check: GET http://localhost:<port>/health → {"status":"ok"}.

Test the tools (local, no internet needed)

Option A — automated script (lists tools, searches, fetches detail, checks an error):

MCP_URL="http://localhost:3010/mcp" node test_client.mjs

Option B — MCP Inspector (interactive UI):

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

In the Inspector: Transport = Streamable HTTP, URL = http://localhost:3010/mcp, Connect.

Test inside Claude (end-to-end)

Claude needs a public HTTPS URL. Fastest is a tunnel to your local server:

# with cloudflared (no account needed):
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3010
# or with ngrok:
ngrok http 3010

Copy the https://… URL it prints, then in Claude (paid plan): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://<tunnel>/mcp.

Then ask: "find manager jobs in India" — Claude will call search_jobs, and "tell me more about the first one" will call get_job_details.

Configuration (env vars)

Notes

• Read-only: both tools are annotated readOnlyHint: true, so Claude runs them without a per-call confirmation.

• Origin validation is enforced on /mcp (required for the Anthropic directory).

• Known upstream limitation: joblet.ai's search does not always filter strictly by location server-side, so a location query can include some off-location results. This is an API-side issue, not the connector's — flagged for the joblet.ai API team.

• Public-directory submission (OAuth 2.0, privacy policy, logo, test account) is a later phase.
