kcdevs-mcp

An MCP server for the Kansas City software-developer job market. It lets AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, etc.) search live KC dev jobs, look up hiring companies, and pull real salary and demand statistics.

Powered by kcdevs.com. All data is served remotely — nothing runs locally and no API key is required.

Install / run

Local (stdio) — Claude Desktop and most MCP clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kcdevs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "kcdevs-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Remote (Streamable HTTP)

The same server can run as a remote HTTP endpoint, so clients that support remote MCP can connect without installing anything:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=8080 npx kcdevs-mcp
# → POST http://localhost:8080/mcp   (stateless JSON-RPC)
# → GET  http://localhost:8080/health

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct resource/action: job detail, job search, company list, company detail, and market aggregate. No overlapping purposes.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (get_job, search_jobs, list_companies, get_company). market_stats breaks the pattern by using a noun phrase instead of get_market_stats, a minor inconsistency.

    Tool Count5/5

    Five tools is well-scoped for a job-board MCP, covering search, detail, company lookup, and market overview without unnecessary surface area.

    Completeness5/5

    The read-only domain is fully covered: job search/detail, company list/detail, and market statistics. There are no obvious dead ends or missing operations for the stated purpose.
