The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the Jobkeepr listing page.
Connect Jobkeepr to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP client, so an AI assistant can read and manage your field service business: jobs, customers, scheduling, estimates, invoices and payments.
Jobkeepr is field service management software for small contractor crews — handymen, TV installers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs — running one to ten people.
Remote (recommended). If your client supports remote MCP servers, point it straight at the hosted endpoint and skip this package entirely:
It supports OAuth, so you sign in with your normal Jobkeepr login and approve access in the browser. Nothing to install.
stdio (this package). For clients that only speak stdio, this bridges to the same server using an API key.
This package is not on npm. Install it straight from GitHub using the
github:dandyer/jobkeepr-mcpspecifier shown below. Plainnpx jobkeepr-mcpwill not resolve. npm compiles the TypeScript for you on install, so there is nothing extra to run.
Create an API key in Jobkeepr under Settings → API Keys. It's shown once, so copy it then.
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
Or connect to the remote endpoint directly:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_business_context | Business name, timezone, working hours, and today's date with resolved ranges for "this week", "last month" and so on |
get_jobs | Jobs filtered by date, status, customer, type or source |
get_customers | Search customers, optionally with job counts and totals |
get_schedule | Scheduled jobs and open time slots |
get_estimates | Estimates and their status |
get_invoices | Invoices and unpaid balances |
get_payments | Payments received |
get_line_items | Line items across jobs, for margin and mix analysis |
get_reference_data | Job types, job sources, and the price catalog |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
create_job | Book a job for a customer |
create_customer | Add a customer |
create_estimate | Create an estimate |
create_catalog_item | Add a service or product to the price catalog |
add_line_items | Add billable line items to a job |
set_job_source | Record where a job came from |
reschedule_job | Move a job to a new date or time |
cancel_job | Cancel a scheduled job |
close_jobs | Mark jobs complete |
The financial tools require the VIEW_FINANCIALS permission, and each write tool requires its matching permission. Tools you cannot use are not listed to you.
No tool here can text your customers. Sending SMS is deliberately excluded: it is the one action that reaches a real person and cannot be undone. Ask your assistant to draft a message and send it yourself from Jobkeepr.
Writes take effect immediately. There is no staging step and no undo, which is why cancel_job and close_jobs are marked destructive so your client prompts before running them. close_jobs can act on many jobs at once, so check the set before approving it.
| Variable | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
JOBKEEPR_API_KEY | yes | — | From Settings → API Keys. Starts with jk_live_. |
JOBKEEPR_URL | no | https://jobkeepr.com | Override only for self-hosted or staging. |
An API key acts on one account and carries owner-level access. Revoke it any time in Settings → API Keys. To give an assistant narrower, per-user access instead, use the remote endpoint with OAuth.
This package is a proxy, not a reimplementation. The tools live on the hosted server; this bridges stdio to it. That means the tool set here is always current and this package rarely needs a release.
