Hirejack Mcp

@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.

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hirejack/mcp)

Quick start

Claude Code:

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):

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

Restart Claude Desktop. Then try:

• "Find remote senior backend roles paying $200K+ that sponsor visas"
• "What is Stripe currently hiring?"
• "Which fintech companies are scaling fastest?"
• "What skills are trending in tech right now?"

The npm package uses stdio transport — no auth, runs locally as a subprocess. The public tools work out of the box. Pro+ intelligence tools (match_job, company_fit, resume_rewrite, etc.) require an authenticated user; for that you'll want the hosted HTTP transport at https://hirejack.com/api/mcp once the claude.ai connector regression is resolved (see below).

> Why stdio first? The hosted HTTP transport at https://hirejack.com/api/mcp > works end-to-end via direct API (curl/SDK), but claude.ai's web connector and > Claude Desktop's remote MCP UI have an upstream auth-handshake regression that > drops the connection after OAuth succeeds. Stdio sidesteps the bug entirely. > Tracking: anthropics/claude-ai-mcp#136.

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 (Pro+ tier today; will tighten to a dedicated analyst tier when that pricing plan ships):

| 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

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:

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.
