Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Hirejack MCP Tools (31)
search_jobs
Search HireJack's database of live tech job postings. Filter by keyword, role family, seniority, skill, location, salary, remote policy, or visa sponsorship, and sort by newest or highest pay. Returns a slim list of jobs with title, company, location, salary range, posted date, and key skills. Use this for queries like 'remote senior backend roles paying $200K+', 'highest paying Rust jobs' (sort='salary'), 'data engineer jobs at fintech companies', 'who is hiring Rust developers in NYC'. Not for a single known posting (`get_job`), company-level questions (`get_company_profile`), personalized ranking (`recommendations`), or aggregate market stats (`get_market_pulse`).
get_job
Fetch one job posting by domain + jobId, or by HireJack detail URL. Returns title, company, location, salary, skills, seniority, posted date, visa/remote/education metadata, and (when available) the AI summary. Use after `search_jobs` when the user picks a specific role to discuss, or when the user pastes a HireJack job URL. Not for browsing or filtering postings (`search_jobs`) or personal fit scoring (`match_job`).
get_company_profile
Fetch HireJack's full hiring profile for a single company by domain. Returns: tech stack (top skills with counts), role distribution, seniority breakdown, location breakdown, hiring trend (% MoM), salary medians where disclosed, and an AI-generated hiring brief. Use this for queries like 'what is Stripe hiring?', 'what tech does Anthropic use?', or before comparing companies. Not for historical trends (`get_company_history`, Analyst) or the user's personal fit (`company_fit`).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

Select Hirejack MCP when you need capabilities focused on workplace & productivity and Jobgpt MCP Server when you require tools for workplace & productivity.
List HireJack's tracked companies with hiring volume. Filter by name/domain (`q`) or industry. Returns slim records with domain, name, industry, total open jobs, and engineering job count. Use this to find companies in a sector ('which fintech companies are hiring?') or to resolve a company name to its domain before calling get_company_profile. Not for deep per-company data (`get_company_profile`) or multi-axis segmentation by trend/skill/job-count (`find_companies`, Analyst).
get_market_pulse
Get HireJack's market-wide snapshot: total open tech jobs, tracked companies, remote share, top skills by demand, top companies by hiring volume, and trending skills (week-over-week movers). Use for high-level market questions like 'how is the tech job market right now?' or 'what skills are trending?'. Not for history or time-series (`get_market_history`, Analyst) or job-level search (`search_jobs`).
match_job
Score how well the authenticated user matches a specific job. Pro tier. Returns matchPct (0-100, the same score the website shows for this job), requirementsPct (how much of this posting's own requirement list the user meets), a dimension breakdown (skills, role, seniority, location, remote — plus experience when both the user's resume-derived years and the job's required years are known, and semantic when both the user's profile and the job carry embeddings), matched/missing/bonus skill lists, an experienceFit comparison, ATS-specific resume tips for the company's ATS, and a priorityScore that factors hiring velocity. Use for queries like 'how well do I match this job?' or 'should I apply?'. Not for company-level fit (`company_fit`) or discovering new jobs (`recommendations`).
company_fit
Score how well the authenticated user fits a company. Pro tier. Returns fitScore (0-100), 5-dimension breakdown (tech stack 40%, roles 25%, seniority 15%, location 10%, hiring trend 10%), matching skills, skill gaps, role alignment, and a hiring-momentum signal. Use for 'is Anthropic a good fit for me?' or 'compare these companies for me'. Not for scoring a specific job posting — use `match_job` for that.
recommendations
Get top job recommendations for the authenticated user, scored against their profile (skills, desired roles, seniority, location, remote preference) and hard-filtered by their remote/US-only/minimum-salary preferences. Pro tier. Returns jobs ranked by composite match score with per-job match details (default 10, `limit` up to 50). Use for 'show me jobs that match me' or 'what should I apply to this week?'. Not for unpersonalized filter searches (`search_jobs`) or scoring one known job (`match_job`).
salary_benchmark
Compare a salary against the live HireJack market for a role family + seniority slice. Pro tier. Returns precomputed P10/P25/P50/P75/P90 percentiles, the user's percentile ranking (when `salary` is supplied), and a career-ladder progression of medians by seniority. Use for 'am I paid well as a senior backend engineer?' or 'what should I ask for?'. Not for a specific job's posted range (`get_job`) or market-wide comp stats (`get_market_pulse`).
skill_gap
Analyze the gap between the authenticated user's current skills and what their desired roles require in the live market. Pro tier. Returns matchPct (0-100), the list of skills the user already has that map to their target roles, and the list of missing skills ranked by impact (how often the skill appears in target-role postings). Use for 'what should I learn next?' or 'how close am I to senior PM roles?'. Not for simulating the payoff of skills the user might LEARN — use `skill_impact` for that.
market_position
Compute the authenticated user's market position score (0-100). Pro tier. Weighted: 50% skill demand against current market, 20% seniority fit, 15% remote availability for the user's preference, 15% skill breadth. Returns score, matchingJobs count, salaryMedian for matching roles, per-skill demand breakdown, and the top companies whose tech stacks align best with the user's skills. Use for queries like 'how do I stack up against the market?' or 'what's my market position right now?'. Not for job-specific (`match_job`) or company-specific (`company_fit`) scores.
skill_impact
For each skill the authenticated user does NOT have, simulate adding it and compute the market impact. Pro tier. Returns a ranked list of skills with: newJobsUnlocked (jobs that previously didn't match but would after learning the skill), boostedJobs (existing matches that would score higher), companiesNeedingIt, relevantRoles, and a composite impactScore. Also returns profileCompleteness so the caller can suggest filling missing profile fields. Use for queries like 'what should I learn next?' or 'which skill would unlock the most jobs for me?'. Not for auditing the user's CURRENT skills against their target roles — use `skill_gap` for that.
