This tool is free, open source, and runs entirely on your machine — no subscription, no credit card. The only "payment" I ask: if it surfaces a role you apply to (or land), drop a star. It takes one click, costs you nothing, and it's the single thing that pushes the project in front of the next person grinding through 130 careers pages by hand. ⭐ Star it here →

On demand:
autopilot draft 1 → tailored resume + cover letter in 60sUsage modes
Mode 1: Standalone CLI (no Claude Code required)
pip install autopilot-jobhunt
autopilot scan / autopilot draft 1 / autopilot export
Mode 2: Claude Code MCP (control via natural language)
pip install 'autopilot-jobhunt[mcp]'
claude mcp add autopilot-jobhunt ...
→ "Scan for ML jobs" / "Draft application for job #2"Both modes use the same config and produce the same output.
Quick start
Option A — pip install
pip install autopilot-jobhunt # or: pip install 'autopilot-jobhunt[mcp]' for Claude Code
mkdir my-job-hunt && cd my-job-hunt
autopilot init # creates config.json, companies.json, resume/, .env
# Fill in config.json (API keys + your profile) and resume/YOUR_RESUME.md, then:
autopilot scanOption B — clone (recommended if you want to customize companies or contribute)
git clone https://github.com/tarunlnmiit/autopilot-jobhunt.git
cd autopilot-jobhunt
pip install -e '.' # standalone CLI
# pip install -e '.[mcp]' # + Claude Code MCP integration
cp config.example.json config.json && cp .env.example .env

Claude Code / MCP integration
Use autopilot-jobhunt as an MCP server inside Claude Code (CLI) or Claude Desktop.
Step 1: Install with MCP support
git clone https://github.com/tarunlnmiit/autopilot-jobhunt.git
cd autopilot-jobhunt
pip install -e '.[mcp]'Step 2: Register with Claude Code
Option A — one command:
claude mcp add autopilot-jobhunt \
--env TINYFISH_API_KEY=your_key \
--env OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_key \
--env TELEGRAM_TOKEN=your_token \
--env TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your_chat_id \
-- python -m job_hunt.mcp_serverOption B — edit ~/.claude.json manually:
{
"mcpServers": {
"autopilot-jobhunt": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "job_hunt.mcp_server"],
"cwd": "/absolute/path/to/autopilot-jobhunt",
"env": {
"TINYFISH_API_KEY": "your_key",
"OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your_key",
"TELEGRAM_TOKEN": "your_token",
"TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID": "your_chat_id"
}
}
}
}Note:
cwdmust point to the cloned repo — the server readsconfig.jsonandcompanies.jsonfrom there.
Step 3: Use it
In any Claude Code session:
"Scan for ML jobs"
"Draft an application for job #2"
"Export jobs from the last 7 days with score above 70"Claude Desktop
Same JSON block — add it under mcpServers in Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer.
Customize your target companies
Edit companies.json. Each entry needs:
{
"name": "Stripe",
"careers_url": "https://stripe.com/jobs",
"search_domain": "stripe.com",
"location": "Remote / San Francisco, CA",
"region": "Remote"
}The repo ships with 130+ pre-configured EU, NZ, and remote-friendly tech companies. Add or remove as you like.
How scoring works
The LLM reads your full resume + the full job description and assigns a score 0–100:
Score | Meaning |
80–100 | Near-perfect fit — apply immediately |
60–79 | Good fit — worth applying |
40–59 | Partial fit — apply if pipeline is thin |
< 40 | Poor fit — skipped |
Set min_score in config to filter. Default: 60.

Default: OpenRouter (free)
Uses a 4-model fallback chain — all free, no credit card needed:
Model | Role |
| Primary — best quality |
| Fallback 1 — 120B |
| Fallback 2 |
| Fallback 3 |
If one model hits its daily free-tier quota, the tool automatically tries the next. Zero LLM cost by default.
Alternative A: Claude Code CLI (no API key needed)
If you have Claude Code installed and authenticated, you can use it as the LLM backend — no separate API key required:
In config.json:
"llm_provider": "claude_cli"Or via environment variable: LLM_PROVIDER=claude_cli autopilot scan
Optionally set a model: "claude_cli_model": "sonnet" (or "opus", "haiku", empty = Claude's default).
Note: Requires the
claudebinary in your PATH. Verify withclaude --print "hi"first. The MCP server and cron jobs must run in an environment where yourclaudeauth session is active.Rate-limit note: Each call loads your global Claude Code context (~25–30k tokens). A nightly scan (5–15 LLM calls) burns significantly against your subscription's 7-day rate limit. Prefer OpenRouter for nightly automation; use Claude CLI for occasional on-demand drafts.
Alternative B: Anthropic API
If you have an Anthropic API key:
pip install 'autopilot-jobhunt[claude]'In config.json:
"llm_provider": "anthropic",
"anthropic_api_key": "sk-ant-...",
"anthropic_model": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 is fast and cheap; claude-sonnet-4-6 gives higher quality scores. A nightly scan uses ~5–15 LLM calls total (jobs scored in batches of 10).

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: scanning jobs, drafting applications, and exporting results. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tools use a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase_snake_case (draft_application, export_jobs, scan_jobs).
Three tools is on the lower end but appropriate for a focused job-hunt automation server. Each tool is necessary and well-scoped.
Covers the core workflow of scanning, drafting, and exporting. Lacks tool for direct submission or managing company config, but these are minor gaps given file-based configuration.
