@hirejack/mcp

Model Context Protocol server that exposes HireJack's tech job market intelligence to MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, etc.) — tech jobs, companies, skills, salaries, hiring trends.

Quick start

Claude Code:

bash

claude mcp add hirejack -- npx -y @hirejack/mcp

Claude Desktop — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hirejack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hirejack/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and ask away (see Example prompts).

The npm package uses stdio transport — no auth, runs locally as a subprocess, and the five public tools work out of the box.

claude.ai / Claude Desktop connector (all 22 tools): add https://hirejack.com/api/mcp as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), sign in with your HireJack account when prompted, and the full Pro/Premium/Analyst intelligence surface lights up — tier-gated server-side to your subscription.

Example prompts

Job search (public, no account):

"Find remote senior backend roles paying $200K+ that sponsor visas"
"What is Stripe currently hiring? Break it down by team."
"Show me staff-level ML jobs in New York with published salary ranges"
"Which companies are hiring Rust engineers right now?"

Market research (public, no account):

"Which fintech companies are scaling hiring fastest this month?"
"What skills are trending in tech right now?"
"Compare the tech stacks of Datadog and Grafana Labs"
"What's the median advertised salary for senior data engineers?"

Career intelligence (Pro/Premium, via the hosted connector):

"Score my fit for this posting and tell me what's missing: hirejack.com/jobs/…"
"Which skill should I learn next to unlock the most jobs?"
"Where does my salary sit vs the market for staff platform engineers?"
"Rewrite my resume bullets for this Anthropic role"

Analyst (historical/segmentation, via the hosted connector):

"Which companies' hiring grew >50% in the last quarter from a real base?"
"Show Nvidia's hiring trajectory over the last 12 months"
"What skills are climbing consistently from a low base — early signals only"

Transports

Transport	Where	Tools available
stdio (this package)	`npx -y @hirejack/mcp`	5 public tools (`search_jobs`, `get_job`, `get_company_profile`, `search_companies`, `get_market_pulse`). Pro+/Analyst tools surface but require auth — point users at the hosted endpoint.
HTTP + OAuth 2.1 (HireJack-hosted)	`https://hirejack.com/api/mcp`	All 22 tools, including Pro+/Analyst intelligence tied to a HireJack subscription. Implementation lives in HireJack's private Lambda; this OSS package is the stdio half.

Tools

Public (no auth required):

Tool	Purpose
`search_jobs`	Search live tech job postings: role family, seniority, skill, location, salary, remote, visa
`get_job`	Fetch one job posting by domain + jobId or HireJack URL: full details, salary, skills, AI summary
`get_company_profile`	Full hiring profile for one company (tech stack, trends, salary, AI brief)
`search_companies`	List tracked companies, filter by industry
`get_market_pulse`	Market-wide stats: totals, top skills, trending skills, top companies

Pro tier (requires authenticated HireJack user with pro or higher):

Tool	Purpose
`match_job`	Score how well the user matches a specific job (matchPct + 5-dim breakdown + ATS tips)
`company_fit`	Score the user's fit for a company (fitScore + tech-stack/role/seniority breakdown)
`recommendations`	Top jobs ranked by composite match against the user's profile
`salary_benchmark`	Percentile + career-ladder benchmark vs the live market for a role/seniority
`skill_gap`	Compare user skills to desired-roles' market requirements; ranked missing skills
`market_position`	0–100 market-position score (skill demand, seniority fit, remote, breadth) + matching jobs, salary median, top-aligned companies
`skill_impact`	Simulate learning each missing skill: jobs unlocked, boosted matches, companies needing it — ranked by impact
`watchlist_intelligence`	Aggregate hiring signals across every watched company: open jobs, week-over-week trend %, top skills, median salary, sparkline

Premium tier (requires premium):

Tool	Purpose
`resume_rewrite`	Bullet-by-bullet resume rewrites tailored to a specific job
`interview_prep`	Targeted prep: key topics, likely questions by type, company research items

Analyst (dedicated Analyst tier — $49/mo founding pricing; free for working journalists in exchange for a linked citation):

Tool	Purpose
`get_company_history`	Per-company time-series: monthly hiring snapshots + wider job-count history
`get_skill_history`	Per-skill time-series: companyCount + jobMentions per month with MoM deltas
`get_market_history`	Market-wide time-series: 90 days daily or 24 months monthly
`compare_companies`	Up to 5 companies side-by-side: current state + monthly trajectory
`find_companies`	Multi-axis segmentation: industry × family × skill × trend × job-count band
`find_breakout_companies`	Companies with extreme hiring growth (% threshold + min size)
`find_emerging_skills`	Skills climbing consistently across the last 3 monthly snapshots from a low base, with a real absolute company-count gain — early signal, not small-base noise (the "what should I learn before everyone else" tool)

Pro+ tools are thin wrappers over the website's existing intelligence Lambdas. Tier gating happens server-side in those Lambdas — the MCP server just forwards the user's identity. If the user lacks the required tier, the API returns 403 and the tool surfaces a clear upgrade hint.

Build from source

bash

git clone https://github.com/TVLSS/hirejack-mcp
cd hirejack-mcp
npm install
npm run build       # tsc → dist/
node dist/index.js  # waits on stdin/stdout for JSON-RPC

Releasing

Publishing is automated by GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/release.yml). Pushing a version tag builds, publishes to npm, and updates the MCP Registry:

bash

npm version patch          # bumps package.json + creates the vX.Y.Z tag
git push && git push --tags

The workflow verifies the tag matches package.json, then runs npm publish (using the NPM_TOKEN repo secret) and a best-effort MCP Registry update via GitHub OIDC. Keep server.json's version in step with package.json.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
`HIREJACK_API_BASE`	`https://hirejack.com/api`	Override if you're self-hosting a fork against a different backend
`HIREJACK_SITE_BASE`	`https://hirejack.com`	Used in `citation_url` fields returned by tools

The npm package ships the stdio transport only. The hosted HTTP+OAuth endpoint at https://hirejack.com/api/mcp is run separately by HireJack and not implemented in this repo.
