M8ven Score

An MCP server over my job-scan-automation dataset: the daily market scan behind uae-remote-jobs-daily, exposed as tools that any MCP-capable AI client can call.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard for giving AI models controlled access to tools and data. This server is the pattern in miniature and in production: my own dataset, four read-only tools, and a model on the other end that can suddenly answer questions like "any new GRC postings this week?" with real data instead of guesses.

Tools

Tool

What it does

latest_report()

Full text of the most recent daily scan

search_jobs(query, days)

Search postings across the last N days of reports, links included

market_stats(days)

Per-day relevant/new counts: the pulse of the niche market

is_seen(company, title)

Whether the scanner's dedupe memory already knows a posting

Related MCP server: joblet-mcp-grok

Setup

pipx install jobscan-mcp

uvx jobscan-mcp works too if you prefer no install. Hacking on a clone instead:

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install mcp

It reads ~/aiProjects/aminWork/job-research/scraper. Point JOBSCAN_DATA_DIR at your own data folder if your copy lives somewhere else.

Wire it into Claude Code:

claude mcp add jobscan -- jobscan-mcp

Running from a clone, point it at the venv instead:

claude mcp add jobscan -- /path/to/jobscan-mcp/.venv/bin/python /path/to/jobscan-mcp/jobscan_mcp.py

Demo

What it looks like from Claude Code:

> check the job scan: anything new in IAM in the last week?

⏺ jobscan · search_jobs("IAM", 7)

  2 match(es) for 'IAM':

  [2026-09-26] - **IAM Engineer** at Falconride Logistics
    https://example.com/falconride/iam-engineer
  [2026-09-23] - **Identity and Access Analyst** at Northgate Retail
    https://example.com/northgate/iam-analyst

⏺ Two IAM roles surfaced this week. Falconride is the Dubai one,
  Northgate is remote. Neither was in the scan before Tuesday.

The postings above are demo data. The format is exactly what the server returns.

Design notes

  • Read-only by construction. Every tool reads files, nothing mutates the dataset. Giving a model tools means deciding what it must never be able to do, and here that decision is structural, not a prompt instruction.

  • Sanitization at the boundary. The underlying reports can carry the operator's personal notes, so the server strips them before anything crosses the protocol. Data boundaries belong in code, not in hope.

  • Small on purpose. Four tools, one file, standard library plus the mcp SDK. An MCP server doesnt need to be a platform to be useful. It just needs to expose the right verbs over data you actually maintain.

    A3.6/5.0

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: latest_report returns raw markdown, search_jobs finds matching postings, market_stats aggregates counts, and is_seen checks dedupe memory. There is no meaningful overlap in agent selection.

    Naming Consistency3/5

    All names use snake_case, but the semantic convention is mixed: latest_report is adjective_noun, search_jobs is verb_noun, market_stats is noun_noun, and is_seen is a past-participle boolean check. The names are readable but not predictable as a set.

    Tool Count5/5

    Four tools are well-scoped for a read-only job scan report server. Each tool earns its place: latest report access, search, aggregate stats, and dedupe lookup.

    Completeness3/5

    The surface covers common queries over recent reports but lacks a way to list available report dates or fetch a specific older report by date. search_jobs and market_stats work only over the last N days, leaving a notable gap for historical full-report access.
