What is the FoundRole — AI Job Search, Tracker & Reminders MCP server?

Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. FoundRole — AI Job Search, Tracker & Reminders MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Search jobs, track applications, and set follow-up reminders from your AI assistant.

The short version

Your job search is scattered across a dozen browser tabs, a spreadsheet you forgot to update, and a calendar with no follow-up reminders. FoundRole's MCP server pulls all of it into the AI assistant you already talk to — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any other MCP client.

  • Find roles without tab-juggling — no sign-up. — Search FoundRole's live job board by title, location, company, salary, and how recently a role was posted, straight from chat. No account needed — connect your client and start searching
  • See the full picture before you apply. — Pull a job's description, requirements, salary, and apply link without opening the page. Also works without an account
  • Research before you commit. — Dig into companies, industry sectors, and hiring by location to decide where to aim
  • Never miss a follow-up. — Set a reminder on any tracked job and get an email with a calendar (.ics) invite for Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. (Part of your tracked jobs — uses the same one-time sign-in.)
  • Let the search come to you. — Subscribe a saved search to recurring alerts (daily, weekly, or monthly) so new matches land in your inbox. (One-time sign-in, the same as the tracker.)

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 2 tools. What each one is for:

  • Double — check the URL and restart the AI client. If searching works but saving a job doesn't, reconnect to re-trigger the FoundRole sign-in
  • ChatGPT — 1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors. 2. Click Add custom connector. 3. Name it FoundRole. 4. Paste the server URL when prompted:

Getting it running

@foundrole/ai-job-search-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

How it compares

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. FoundRole — AI Job Search, Tracker & Reminders's toolset — Double, ChatGPT — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by foundrole; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

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.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
