Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:105-122 (registration)Registers the 'search-jobs' MCP tool with input schema from linkedinApiSchemas and a handler that logs the request, calls clientService.searchJobs, and returns formatted response.
this.server.tool( 'search-jobs', 'Search for LinkedIn job postings based on various criteria', linkedinApiSchemas.searchJobs, async (params) => { this.logger.info('Executing LinkedIn Job Search', { keywords: params.keywords, location: params.location }) try { const jobs = await this.clientService.searchJobs(params) return this.createResourceResponse(jobs) } catch (error) { this.logger.error('LinkedIn Job Search Failed', error) throw error } } ) - src/services/client.service.ts:150-168 (handler)Core handler function that builds query parameters from input and makes authenticated GET request to LinkedIn /jobs/search endpoint using shared makeRequest method.
public async searchJobs(params: SearchJobsParams): Promise<SearchJobsResult> { const queryParams = new URLSearchParams() const paramMapping: Record<string, string | undefined> = { keywords: params.keywords, location: params.location } Object.entries(paramMapping) .filter(([_, value]) => value !== undefined) .forEach(([key, value]) => queryParams.append(key, value as string)) this.appendArrayParams(queryParams, { 'company-name': params.companies, 'job-type': params.jobType }) return this.makeRequest<SearchJobsResult>('get', `/jobs/search?${queryParams.toString()}`) } - src/schemas/linkedin.schema.ts:36-41 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for the search-jobs tool, used in MCP tool registration.
searchJobs: { companies: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Filter by companies'), jobType: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Filter by job type (e.g., Full-Time, Contract)'), keywords: z.string().optional().describe('Keywords to search for in job postings'), location: z.string().optional().describe('Filter by location') }, - src/types/linkedin.d.ts:17-22 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the SearchJobsParams for type safety in the handler.
export interface SearchJobsParams { keywords?: string location?: string companies?: string[] jobType?: string[] } - src/types/linkedin.d.ts:97-112 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the expected SearchJobsResult from LinkedIn API.
export interface SearchJobsResult { jobs: { id: string title: string companyName: string location: string description?: string listedAt: number expireAt?: number }[] paging: { count: number start: number total: number } }
