Real terminal output — install from PyPI, download the public index, search. No account, no signup.
An MCP server that turns your AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) into a private radar for
**AI / Infra, autonomous-driving and embodied-AI jobs** — pulled straight from **139 employers'**
own career sites and public ATS APIs (Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby / 北森 Beisen / Moka), across
the US, Europe **and China** (Waymo, Figure, Zoox — and Unitree, XPeng, UBTECH, Mech-Mind…).
**No account. No signup. No résumé upload. Ever.**
Three things a job board won't do for you:
- **Kills ghost-job noise.** Every listing carries a `ghost_score` aged off the employer's
**real** posting date — the "2 days ago" a board shows you can be 300 days old in the ATS.
- **Structural privacy, not a pinky-promise.** There is no résumé field in the protocol; a CI
test fails the build if anyone adds one. Matching runs on your machine — only an anonymous
fingerprint reaches the server.
- **Ranking you can't buy.** Order is a locked pure function of (match, freshness). No
sponsored slots, no bidding — the signature is frozen by a test.
This is the 「哨兵 / Sentinel」 reference implementation — see
`design_handoff_openhire_v01/README.md` for the full protocol spec.

## Quickstart — under a minute
```bash
# 1. Install (pipx keeps it isolated and puts `ohp` on your PATH)
pipx install openhire
# 2. Get a job index. Default: download the public snapshot, then refresh it live.
ohp bootstrap # 139 employers · ~16k live postings · no account
# 3. Use it directly…
ohp search --required-skills rust,k8s --remote --role-family engineering
ohp search --currency CNY --role-family engineering # e.g. CN autonomous-driving / robotics roles
# …or connect it to an MCP client:
ohp serve
```
Then point your MCP client at it — see **[Works with](#works-with)** below.
---
## Works with
All clients use the same MCP entry. If you ran `pipx install openhire`, use `ohp`; otherwise
`uvx openhire serve` fetches and runs it with no prior install (needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)).
**Claude Desktop** — `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/`); quit & reopen after editing:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "openhire": { "command": "ohp", "args": ["serve"] } } }
```
**Cursor** — `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or a project `.cursor/mcp.json`):
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "openhire": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["openhire", "serve"] } } }
```
**Windsurf** — `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "openhire": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["openhire", "serve"] } } }
```
> Run `ohp bootstrap` once first so the index has data. On Windows Claude Desktop from the
> Microsoft Store, the config is under `…\Packages\\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\`.

## What it does
| Tool | What it gives you |
|------|-------------------|
| `search_jobs` | Hard-filter the live index; every result carries `verified_at`, `datePosted`, `days_open`, `ghost_score`, `remote_scope`, `eligible_regions`, `apply_channel`. Filter by `required_skills` (AND), `role_family`, `remote_scope`, `min_salary` + `currency`. |
| `watch_intent` | Register a standing intent once — new matching jobs are waiting next time you check, even after you close the terminal. Accepts `required_skills` / `role_family` so sales / solutions roles stay out. |
| `check_watches` | Pull the matches that are new since your last check (client-pull; stdio has no push). |
| `authorize_application` | One explicit confirmation per job. It records your authorization and returns the employer's **own** application URL — you apply as yourself. It **cannot** accept a résumé. |
| `get_company_info` | Aggregate, anonymous trust signals for one employer (`ghost_score_avg`, `active_jobs`, `index_built_at`). Never any candidate data. |
Optional, entirely local: `ohp init --scan ` derives a **skill fingerprint** from your
own repos. You never write a résumé; the code never leaves your machine — only an anonymous
vector does.
## The five protocol fields
Every listing is valid `schema.org/JobPosting`, plus:
- `verified_at` — last moment confirmed live on the employer's own site
- `source` — `employer_site | ats_public_api` (never a job board)
- `ghost_score` — 0–1 listing-activity signal, aged off the **real** posting date (lower =
fresher). A noise filter, not an accusation: long-open listings are often evergreen talent
pools or slow pipelines — the score simply lets agents down-rank low-activity noise
- `response_sla_days` — employer's committed response window (v0.1: always null)
- `apply_channel` — always the employer's own application URL, deep-linked to the specific job
## Privacy model
| | |
|---|---|
| **Résumé / PII upload** | **never** — matching runs locally; a résumé never transits the server, and we never store one |
| **What the server sees** | one anonymous, client-generated fingerprint + hard filters |
| **Repo scan** | local-only · personal projects · explicit consent · opt-out anytime |
| **Job sources** | first-party only: employer career pages + public ATS APIs (Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby) |
## First-run data — the snapshot vs. fresh
`ohp bootstrap` (default) downloads a small **public** index snapshot (a GitHub Release
asset — `companies` + `jobs` only, **zero** user data) and then runs one incremental crawl to
refresh `verified_at` / delisting. `--fresh` skips the snapshot and crawls the public ATS from
scratch with the free offline heuristic extractor. Either way: no account, no PII.
## Three rules this project will never break
1. Your résumé stays on your machine — it never transits the server, and we never store it.
2. Ranking is not for sale — it is only `f(match_quality, freshness)`, a locked pure function.
3. Employers pay only for authorized, delivered outcomes — never for exposure. (v0.1 has no
billing at all.)
These are enforced by CI (`tests/test_privacy.py`, `tests/test_ranking.py`,
`tests/test_snapshot.py`).
## Development
```bash
python -m venv .venv && . .venv/Scripts/activate # Windows
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest # privacy red lines + ranking + snapshot must be green
```
Set `OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+psycopg://…` to run against Postgres instead of the
default local SQLite file (`~/.openhire/openhire.db`).
## Roadmap
- **v0.2 – v0.3 (shipped)** — CN ATS adapters (北森 Beisen + Moka) · weekly auto-refreshed
public snapshot · `ghost_score` public beta · 139 employers across US / EU / China
- **next** — Employer claim + verified badges — employers can [reserve their claim
today](https://github.com/gzchenhao/openhire/issues/new?template=employer_claim.yml) via a
corporate-identity GitHub issue (zero-cost now; badges + listing-status control ship next) ·
response-SLA enforcement (7-day auto-delist) · **redacted proof-of-fit** — an anonymous,
candidate-authorized match summary that travels with an application (skills overlap only;
identity never included, résumés still never transit the server)
- **v1.0** — Open, vendor-neutral schema extension for AI-readable job postings
## FAQ
**Where does the job data come from?**
Directly from 139 employers' own public ATS APIs (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, 北森 Beisen, Moka) — the
same endpoints that power their careers pages. No scraping, no third-party job boards. `source` is
always `ats_public_api`, and `verified_at` records the last time we confirmed each posting live.
The public index is auto-refreshed weekly, so a fresh `ohp bootstrap` starts from recent data.
**Why should I trust `ghost_score`?**
It's a pure, open, unpurchasable function — `min(1, 0.15·relist_count + staleness)` aged off the
**real** ATS posting date, not our crawl date. The formula lives in `pipeline/ghost_score.py`,
is unit-tested, and takes no money as input (red line #2). Long-open, repeatedly-relisted
postings score higher; you can always re-rank client-side. Read it as **signal-to-noise, not
bad faith**: plenty of high-scoring listings are legitimate evergreen talent pools. Employers
who want their listing activity represented accurately can claim their tenant (see Roadmap).
**Does my résumé actually go through the server — really?**
No. There is no résumé anywhere in the protocol. `authorize_application` has no résumé/file
parameter (it structurally cannot accept one), matching runs on your machine, and the only thing
that ever transits the server is a short anonymous fingerprint like `#a3f9`. This is enforced by
`tests/test_privacy.py`, and the published snapshot carries **zero** user data (`tests/test_snapshot.py`).
**Does it support China (中国区)?**
Yes — this is what sets OpenHire apart. Employers on **北森 Beisen** (`.zhiye.com`) and
**Moka** (`app.mokahr.com`) are indexed: 20+ autonomous-driving / robotics / embodied-AI
companies including 宇树 Unitree, 小鹏 XPeng, 优必选 UBTECH, 梅卡曼德 Mech-Mind, 速腾聚创 RoboSense,
元戎启行 DeepRoute, 星海图 Galaxea, 傅利叶 Fourier, 普渡 Pudu. Pay published as 月薪 keeps its real
period (`salary_period`), so a salary floor no longer silently drops Chinese roles.
**飞书招聘 (Feishu Hire) is not supported and won't be**: it signs its job-list requests with a
ByteDance `_signature` and gates them behind a captcha SDK, so its listings are not publicly
readable. We don't break anti-bot measures. Moka is on the roadmap.
**How do I get a company added?**
Open a **Company inclusion request** issue (title it with the company + its ATS URL) — this is
the best way to contribute. If you code, add it to `src/openhire/seed/candidates.py` (company
slug + ATS vendor/tenant) and open a PR; the seeder validates tenants against the live API.
