JobGPT MCP Server

The official MCP server for JobGPT — auto apply & search jobs, generate and manage custom tailored resumes, and track applications directly from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.

What You Can Do

Ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Find remote senior React jobs paying over $150k"

• "Auto-apply to the top 5 matches from my job hunt"

• "Generate a tailored resume for this Google application"

• "Apply to this job for me - <job_url from company website, greenhouse workday or linkedin, etc>"

• "Show my application stats for the last 7 days"

• "Find recruiters for this job and draft an outreach email"

The MCP server connects your AI assistant to the full JobGPT platform — 34 tools covering job search, applications, resumes, outreach, and more.

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

1. Go to 6figr.com/account

2. Scroll to MCP Integrations

3. Click Generate API Key

4. Copy the key (starts with mcp_)

2. Add to Your AI Tool

Add the following config to your AI tool. Replace your-api-key-here with your actual key. No installation required — connects directly to the hosted server.

Setup by Client

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop does not support remote MCP servers directly in the config file. Use the mcp-remote bridge to connect (requires Node.js 18+).

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, you can add it via Settings > Connectors in Claude Desktop using the URL https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp.

Claude Code (CLI)

Option A: One-liner with claude mcp add (fastest):

claude mcp add jobgpt -t http -u https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp --header "Authorization: your-api-key-here"

Option B: Edit settings.json manually

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Go to Settings > MCP > Add new MCP server, or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Go to Settings > Cascade > MCP > Add Server > Add custom server, or add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code)

Open the Cline MCP settings in VS Code and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Continue (VS Code / JetBrains)

Add to your Continue config (~/.continue/config.yaml):

mcpServers:
  - name: jobgpt
    type: http
    url: https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp
    headers:
      Authorization: "your-api-key-here"

Alternative: Run Locally

If you prefer to run the server on your machine (requires Node.js 18+):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "jobgpt-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "JOBGPT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Troubleshooting

"JOBGPT_API_KEY environment variable is required"

Your API key isn't being passed to the server. Make sure it's in the env block of your MCP config.

Tool calls failing with "API Error (401)"

Your API key is invalid or expired. Generate a new one at 6figr.com/account.

"You have run out of credits"

Some operations (auto-apply, resume generation) consume credits. Purchase more at 6figr.com/jobgpt.

Server not appearing in your AI tool

1. Make sure Node.js 18+ is installed (node --version)

2. Restart your AI tool after editing the config file

3. Try running manually to check for errors: JOBGPT_API_KEY=your-key npx jobgpt-mcp-server

Debug mode

Add "DEBUG": "true" to your env config to see detailed API request/response logs in stderr.
