@theyahia/hh-mcp

MCP server for the hh.ru API — Russia and CIS job market. 19 tools covering vacancies, resumes, employers, salary statistics, dictionaries, autocomplete, and token diagnostics.

Responses are returned as compact, LLM-friendly summaries by default — pass raw: true to any search/detail tool to get the full hh.ru JSON.

Part of the Russian API MCP series by @theYahia.

Two Modes

| Mode | What's available | Token needed? | |------|-----------------|:-------------:| | No token | Vacancy search, vacancy by ID, similar vacancies, employers, salary stats, areas, roles, industries, metro, dictionaries, suggests, token check | No | | With token | Everything above + resume search, resume by ID | Yes (HH_ACCESS_TOKEN) |

Get a token at dev.hh.ru/admin. Note: resume search additionally requires an employer account with a paid resume-database subscription — applicant/anonymous tokens get a 403. Use validate_token to check what your token can do.

HTTP Mode (Streamable HTTP)

npx @theyahia/hh-mcp --http
# or
HTTP_PORT=8080 npx @theyahia/hh-mcp --http

Endpoint: http://localhost:3000/mcp (POST) · Health check: http://localhost:3000/health (GET)

HTTP mode is stateless and binds to 127.0.0.1 by default with DNS-rebinding protection on. To expose it, set HOST=0.0.0.0 and add your host/origin to HH_ALLOWED_HOSTS / HH_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, and put it behind your own auth.

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | HH_ACCESS_TOKEN | No | OAuth 2.0 Bearer token. Required for resume endpoints (employer + paid resume DB). | | HH_USER_AGENT | No | Custom HH-User-Agent (hh.ru requires it). Recommend your-app/1.0 (you@example.com). | | HTTP_PORT / PORT | No | Port for HTTP mode (default: 3000). | | HOST | No | Interface to bind in HTTP mode (default: 127.0.0.1). | | HH_ALLOWED_HOSTS | No | Comma-separated Host allow-list for HTTP mode (default: loopback). | | HH_ALLOWED_ORIGINS | No | Comma-separated Origin allow-list for HTTP mode. |

See [.env.example](.env.example).

Tools (19)

Every search/detail tool accepts raw: true to return the full hh.ru JSON instead of the compact summary.

Resumes (employer token + paid resume DB)

| Tool | Description | Token? | |------|-------------|:------:| | search_resumes | Search candidate resumes by keywords, region, role, salary, experience | Yes | | get_resume | Full resume: experience, education, skills, contacts | Yes |

Rate Limiting

Built-in rate limiter respects the hh.ru API limit of 5 requests per second. Automatic retry with exponential backoff on 429 and 5xx errors (up to 3 attempts). Note: the limiter is process-global, so in shared HTTP mode all clients share one 5 req/s budget.
