HireJack

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.

npm Glama score

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 and ask away (see Example prompts).

The npm package uses stdio transport — no auth, runs locally as a subprocess, and the five public tools work out of the box.

claude.ai / Claude Desktop connector (all 27 tools): add https://hirejack.com/api/mcp as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector), sign in with your HireJack account when prompted, and the full Pro/Premium/Analyst intelligence surface lights up — tier-gated server-side to your subscription.

Example prompts

Job search (public, no account):

• "Find remote senior backend roles paying $200K+ that sponsor visas"
• "What is Stripe currently hiring? Break it down by team."
• "Show me staff-level ML jobs in New York with published salary ranges"
• "Which companies are hiring Rust engineers right now?"

Market research (public, no account):

• "Which fintech companies are scaling hiring fastest this month?"
• "What skills are trending in tech right now?"
• "Compare the tech stacks of Datadog and Grafana Labs"
• "What's the median advertised salary for senior data engineers?"

Career intelligence (Pro/Premium, via the hosted connector):

• "Score my fit for this posting and tell me what's missing: hirejack.com/jobs/…"
• "Which skill should I learn next to unlock the most jobs?"
• "Where does my salary sit vs the market for staff platform engineers?"
• "Rewrite my resume bullets for this Anthropic role"

Analyst (historical/segmentation, via the hosted connector):

• "Which companies' hiring grew >50% in the last quarter from a real base?"
• "Show Nvidia's hiring trajectory over the last 12 months"
• "What skills are climbing consistently from a low base — early signals only"

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 27 tools, including Pro+/Analyst intelligence and account actions 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, education, experience
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 (dedicated Analyst tier — $49/mo founding pricing; free for working journalists in exchange for a linked citation):

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)

Account actions (any authenticated HireJack account — the write side of the product):

Tool	Purpose
save_job	Save a job to (or remove it from) the user's saved-jobs list
watch_company	Follow (or unfollow) a company — powers watchlist intelligence, alerts, and the weekly digest
track_application	Track an application through the pipeline: applied → phone_screen → interview → offer / rejected / withdrawn, with notes
list_saved_jobs	List the user's saved jobs (read companion to save_job), flagging postings that have since closed
list_applications	List tracked applications with their pipeline stage (read companion to track_application)

Unlike the website's toggle endpoints, these use explicit, idempotent actions (state is checked first), so an agent retrying a "save" can never silently unsave. They are the only non-read-only tools and are annotated readOnlyHint: false so MCP clients ask for approval appropriately.

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.
