Auth

USAJOBS requires a User-Agent (email) and an Authorization-Key header. Both come from a free registration at https://developer.usajobs.gov/.

• Platform key: gateway env PLATFORM_USAJOBS_KEY (the auth key) — the User-Agent email is hard-coded to the operator's contact email at the pack level. Set PLATFORM_USAJOBS_USER_AGENT separately if you want to override.

• BYO: ?_apiKey=<auth_key>:<email> (colon-joined).

Data source

https://data.usajobs.gov/api/ — Host: data.usajobs.gov is automatic via fetch.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usajobs": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/usajobs/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Usajobs data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
