@career-now/mcp

Search 376k fresh tech jobs from your AI agent. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex CLI via MCP.

Status: early. The npm package is not published yet. See career.now/byoa for status.

Quick start

npx @career-now/mcp init

That's it. The installer detects your AI clients, walks you through login (one browser tab), and writes the configs for you.

After install, ask your AI things like:

"Find me remote senior Rust jobs at startups in EU, posted in the last week"

"Show me the full description of job #2"

"How many searches do I have left today?"
