What is the Hirebase MCP MCP server?

Hirebase mcp mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Hirebase MCP directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing tools to interact with the HireBase Job API.

What Hirebase MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing tools to interact with the HireBase Job API.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 5 tools directly:

  • search_jobs — Search for jobs using the HireBase API based on various criteria (keywords, title, location, salary, etc.)
  • Parameters — query, and_keywords, or_keywords, not_keywords, title, category, country, city, location_type, company, salary_from, salary_to, salary_currency, years_from
  • get_job — Retrieve detailed information about a specific job using its HireBase ID
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server
  • Prompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this server

Installing the hirebase mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via PyPI as hirebase-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: HIREBASE_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Hirebase MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — search_jobs, Parameters, get_job among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by jhgaylor, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the hirebase mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Hirebase MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (search_jobs, Parameters, get_job, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Hirebase MCP directly.
