@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 mcp add hirejack -- npx -y @hirejack/mcp

Claude Desktop — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

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

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 22 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"

Transports

Tools

Public (no auth required):

Pro tier (requires authenticated HireJack user with pro or higher):

Premium tier (requires premium):

Analyst (dedicated Analyst tier — $49/mo founding pricing; free for working journalists in exchange for a linked citation):

Pro+ tools are thin wrappers over the website's existing intelligence Lambdas. Tier gating happens server-side in those Lambdas — the MCP server just forwards the user's identity. If the user lacks the required tier, the API returns 403 and the tool surfaces a clear upgrade hint.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/TVLSS/hirejack-mcp
cd hirejack-mcp
npm install
npm run build       # tsc → dist/
node dist/index.js  # waits on stdin/stdout for JSON-RPC

Releasing

Publishing is automated by GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/release.yml). Pushing a version tag builds, publishes to npm, and updates the MCP Registry:

npm version patch          # bumps package.json + creates the vX.Y.Z tag
git push && git push --tags

The workflow verifies the tag matches package.json, then runs npm publish (using the NPM_TOKEN repo secret) and a best-effort MCP Registry update via GitHub OIDC. Keep server.json's version in step with package.json.

Configuration

The npm package ships the stdio transport only. The hosted HTTP+OAuth endpoint at https://hirejack.com/api/mcp is run separately by HireJack and not implemented in this repo.
