What is the Adzuna Job Search MCP MCP server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to the Adzuna Job Search API. Search for jobs, analyze salary data, and research employers across 12 countries. That is what the adzuna job search mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

  • Job Search — - Search millions of job listings with filters for location, salary, job type, and more
  • Salary Analysis — - Get salary histograms, regional comparisons, and historical trends
  • Company Research — - Find top employers by hiring volume
  • Multi-Country Support — - Access job markets in 12 countries with local currency support

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 7 tools. What each one is for:

  • search_jobs — Search for jobs with filters (keywords, location, salary, job type)
  • get_categories — Get valid job category tags for a country
  • get_salary_histogram — Get salary distribution data for job searches
  • get_top_companies — Get top employers by number of open positions
  • get_geodata — Get salary data broken down by geographic region
  • get_salary_history — Get historical salary trends over time
  • get_api_version — Get current Adzuna API version

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: ADZUNA_APP_ID, ADZUNA_APP_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Python 3.10+ - Adzuna API credentials (free)

Getting it running

adzuna-mcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Adzuna Job Search MCP's toolset — search_jobs, get_categories, get_salary_histogram and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by folathecoder; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Adzuna Job Search MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (search_jobs, get_categories, get_salary_histogram, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Adzuna Job Search MCP directly.
