Recruiter Roles MCP server

Query the Recruiter Roles job board from any MCP-capable AI client (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, …). Ask in plain language and get live recruiter and talent-acquisition jobs, company profiles, sectors, locations, and market stats — straight from the board.

Read-only. Authenticated with a free Recruiter Roles API key.

• Hosted (recommended): https://recruiterroles.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
• Local (this package): npx recruiter-roles-mcp (stdio, for stdio-only clients)
• Get a free API key: https://recruiterroles.com/api-access
• Docs: https://recruiterroles.com/mcp · REST API: https://recruiterroles.com/api-docs

Tools

All tools are annotated readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: false, and expose an outputSchema.

Connect

Hosted remote server (recommended)

Most clients can connect directly to the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint with your API key in the Authorization header (or as a ?key= query param for clients that can't set headers).

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recruiter-roles": {
      "url": "https://recruiterroles.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer rr_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code — .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "recruiter-roles": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://recruiterroles.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer rr_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Claude / ChatGPT custom connector — add the URL with your key appended:

https://recruiterroles.com/api/mcp?key=rr_live_YOUR_KEY

Local stdio server (this npm package)

For stdio-only clients or local development. Set your API key via the RECRUITER_ROLES_API_KEY environment variable:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recruiter-roles": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "recruiter-roles-mcp"],
      "env": { "RECRUITER_ROLES_API_KEY": "rr_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Run it directly:

RECRUITER_ROLES_API_KEY=rr_live_YOUR_KEY npx recruiter-roles-mcp

How it works

This is a thin, read-only layer over the public Recruiter Roles v1 REST API. Each tool forwards your API key to one GET /api/v1/* endpoint, so MCP usage shares the same rate limit (1,000 requests/day per key), caching, and request logging as the REST API. The server holds no database connection and no secrets of its own.

Develop

npm install
npm run build
RECRUITER_ROLES_API_KEY=rr_live_YOUR_KEY node dist/index.js

Optional: point at a different origin during development with RECRUITER_ROLES_BASE_URL (default https://recruiterroles.com).

Backlink policy

Any page or product that publishes data obtained through this server must include a visible, crawlable link back to Recruiter Roles. Keys may be suspended if the backlink is removed.
