ATS Jobs MCP: Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever & SmartRecruiters

New job postings since any date from the four big applicant tracking systems (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters), as MCP tools for Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Give it company board names and a window (24h, 7d, 30d, or a date) and get back only the postings that are new.

Hosted remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) on Apify's MCP gateway. Client config plus a small open-source stdio proxy server. No Actor source.

Disclosure: I maintain these Actors on Apify Store (publisher publicrecords).

MCP endpoint

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=publicrecords/ashby-jobs-scraper,publicrecords/greenhouse-jobs-scraper,publicrecords/lever-jobs-scraper,publicrecords/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper

Auth: sign in with Apify (OAuth) when your client prompts, or send an Apify API token as a Bearer token. Runs are billed per result on your own Apify account; see each Store page for current pricing.

Tools

The Apify gateway also exposes helper tools to read run results (get-actor-run, get-dataset-items).

Who it's for

• Job seekers and agents: watch target companies for roles posted in the last day or week.

• Recruiters and sourcers: see which companies just opened roles in a function or location.

• Sales and market research: hiring signals (new teams, new locations) from public job boards.

Example prompts

• List Greenhouse jobs posted in the last 7 days at <board name> with 'engineer' in the title.

• Which roles did <ashby board> and <lever board> open in the last 24 hours? Group by department.

• Pull SmartRecruiters postings released since <date> for <company> and give me the remote ones.

Local stdio server (open source)

This repo also ships a small MCP server in src/ for clients that only run local stdio servers. It answers initialize and tools/list locally from tools.json, which is generated from each Actor's public input schema and checked for drift in CI and weekly, so any client or directory can inspect the tools with no token. tools/call is forwarded to the hosted Apify MCP endpoint above with your own APIFY_TOKEN; without a token a call returns a clear error instead of running anything. The token is only sent in the Authorization header and is never logged.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ats-jobs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:GeminiGeorge22/ats-jobs-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Or from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/GeminiGeorge22/ats-jobs-mcp.git
cd ats-jobs-mcp && npm install
APIFY_TOKEN=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN node src/server.js

Optional env: APIFY_ACTORS (comma-separated subset of the Actors above) and APIFY_MCP_URL (full endpoint override).

Tests run against an in-memory mock server, with no network and no token: npm test. Requires Node.js 18+.

Python (uvx/pip)

A matching Python version of this server lives in python/, built on the official mcp Python SDK: same tools, same APIFY_TOKEN, same hosted endpoint. Requires Python 3.10+.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ats-jobs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["ats-jobs-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Or with pip: pip install ats-jobs-mcp-server, then run ats-jobs-mcp-server. Python tests: cd python && pip install -e ".[test]" && env -u APIFY_TOKEN python -m pytest.
