## For AI agents

- **What:** unofficial MCP server (model context protocol) for quera.org: tech job search with filters (keyword, level, remote, city, tech stack, job type, company, sort), full job postings, company search and profiles, running/upcoming/past programming contests, problem search and statements, and the College course catalog with prices.
- **Install:** `uvx quera-mcp` or `claude mcp add quera -- uvx quera-mcp`. Transport: stdio. Needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) (Python 3.10+).
- **Auth:** none, no API key or account. Optional `QUERA_MCP_PROXY` (HTTP proxy URL, or a comma-separated list); system proxy settings are ignored.
- **Access:** read-only. It cannot log in, apply to jobs, submit solutions or register for anything, so no confirmation is needed before calling any tool.
- **Tools:** 14, all prefixed `qr_`. Typical sequences: `qr_jobs` -> `qr_job` -> `qr_company`; `qr_companies` -> `qr_company`; `qr_problem_filters` -> `qr_problems` -> `qr_problem`; `qr_contests` -> `qr_event`; `qr_courses`; `qr_bootcamps`; `qr_blog`; `qr_salaries`.
- **Use when:** the user asks about developer jobs in Iran (Tehran, remote, junior, Python...), which companies hire, programming contests, practice problems, or Quera course options and prices.
- **Do not use when:** the user wants other job boards, personal Quera data (profiles, submissions, rankings) or to apply or submit anything.
- **Output:** compact JSON. Salaries are Toman per month when the employer published them; contest times are UTC. Text is Persian or English as the author wrote it.

## What it can do

- **Search jobs** on Quera Magnet with the site's own filters: keyword, seniority (intern to lead), remote, city, tech stack, full/part-time/project, company, industry, sorting by newest, trending or salary
- **Read a job** in full: description, requirements, benefits, skills, salary, deadline and related jobs
- **Search companies** (3,000+) by name, city, size, industry and tech stack, and read a profile with its open jobs
- **List contests**: what is running or upcoming, the latest finished ones, and an archive per topic and organizer
- **Search problems** among about 2,000 public problems by name, topic, difficulty and source, and read the statement
- **Browse College courses** by learning path, level and keyword, with list prices

Example prompts:

- "Remote junior Python jobs on Quera, newest first."
- "Which companies in Isfahan are hiring backend developers?"
- "Show the open jobs and tech stack of Kaya."
- "Is there a Quera contest coming up? Which ones did Digikala organize?"
- "Easy practice problems about data structures."
- "Which Quera course teaches Django and how much is it?"

## FAQ

**Does it need a Quera account?** No. It reads the same public pages anyone sees.

**Is it official?** No. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with Quera.

**Where does it work?** Quera answers both inside and outside Iran. Set `QUERA_MCP_PROXY` if your network blocks it.

**Why are there so few jobs?** Quera Magnet is a small curated board (tens of open postings); the site's own filters decide what is listed.
