🚀 local-tech-digest-mcp

A local, privacy-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that automatically tracks entry-level tech job openings and upcoming USA tech conferences — then emails you a clean HTML digest on a smart schedule.

Runs 100% on your machine. No cloud, no tracking, no third-party accounts beyond a Gmail App Password.

✨ Features

Dual digest — entry-level jobs (daily) + tech conferences (weekly)
Smart scheduler — fires at 08:00 ET daily; also triggers immediately if you open your laptop after 8 PM
3-gate job filter — level → exclusion → domain → stack scoring
F-1 OPT aware — excludes clearance/citizenship-required and no-sponsorship roles
USA / International split — USA roles first, foreign roles in a separate section
Zero API keys — all data sources are free and public
Deduplication — SQLite tracks every job/conference ever seen; emails only new entries
10 MCP tools — query, search, and trigger digests directly from Claude Desktop
Auto-start — silent Windows Startup launcher included

🔍 Job Filter Pipeline

Every scraped job passes three sequential gates before being stored:

RAW JOB
   │
   ▼ GATE 1 — LEVEL FILTER  (title must match)
     junior · entry-level · associate · l1 · graduate · new-grad · intern(ship)
   │
   ▼ GATE 2 — EXCLUSION FILTER  (reject if found in title or description)
     us-citizenship-required · must-be-us-citizen · secret-clearance
     top-secret · ts/sci · dod · department-of-defense · itar
     no-sponsorship · sponsorship-not-available
   │
   ▼ GATE 3 — DOMAIN FILTER  (must match at least one)
     Cybersecurity  → security | infosec | soc | devsecops | pentest | siem …
     Cloud/DevOps   → cloud | aws | azure | devops | kubernetes | terraform …
     Web Development → frontend | backend | full-stack | react | node | django …
     SysAdmin       → linux | sysadmin | system-admin | sre | network-admin …
   │
   ▼ STACK SCORER  (points added for matching user's tech stack)
     Python          +2     Linux / Debian / Ubuntu  +2
     Bash / Shell    +2     AWS                      +2
     Security (CVE)  +2     Docker / Kubernetes      +1
     Terraform       +1     Git / GitHub             +1
     Networking      +1
     ────────────────────────────────────
     Maximum score: 14 points
   │
   ▼ STORED in SQLite
     Emailed if score ≥ MIN_JOB_SCORE (default: 0)
     Capped at MAX_JOBS_PER_DOMAIN per email (default: 25)

🛠️ Prerequisites

Node.js v18 or later
A Gmail account with App Password enabled (requires 2-Step Verification)

⚙️ Setup

1. Clone & install

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/local-tech-digest-mcp.git
cd local-tech-digest-mcp
npm install

2. Configure environment

copy .env.example .env   # Windows
cp  .env.example .env    # Mac/Linux

Edit .env with your values:

SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_SECURE=false
SMTP_USER=you@gmail.com
SMTP_PASS=xxxx_xxxx_xxxx_xxxx     # Gmail App Password (16 chars, no spaces)
NOTIFY_EMAIL=you@gmail.com

TZ=America/New_York               # Your timezone

MIN_JOB_SCORE=0                   # 0 = all jobs  |  4 = strong stack matches only
MAX_JOBS_PER_DOMAIN=25            # Max job cards per domain per email

Gmail App Password: Go to myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, create a new app password, and paste the 16-character code (without spaces) as SMTP_PASS.

3. Build

npm run build

4. Register with Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tech-digest-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/local-tech-digest-mcp/dist/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

5. Run the scheduler

node dist/scheduler.js

Keep this terminal open. The scheduler fires automatically on its schedule.

Copy launch-silent.vbs to your Windows Startup folder:

Copy-Item .\launch-silent.vbs ([Environment]::GetFolderPath('Startup'))

The scheduler will now start silently every time you log in.

🧪 Test Commands

# Trigger daily jobs digest immediately
node dist/scheduler.js --now-daily

# Trigger full weekly digest (jobs + conferences)
node dist/scheduler.js --now-weekly

📅 Schedule Behaviour

When	Action
Every day 08:00 ET (Tue–Sun)	Scrape jobs → send jobs-only email
Every Monday 08:00 ET	Scrape jobs + conferences → send full email
Laptop opened after 8 PM	Runs the appropriate digest immediately
Nothing new	Email skipped — no empty digests
