Search jobs, companies, and watchlists on Job Seek (jseek.co)
Jobseek MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Jobseek directly instead of describing what you should do. Search jobs, companies, and watchlists on Job Seek (jseek.co).
Roles land here within hours of the company posting them — once, in canonical form, with no third-party reposts.
The server ships on npm as pnpm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Once Jobseek is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Code — MIT. Use, modify, redistribute, no warrantyJob — posting data** — CC BY-NC 4.0. Free for research and non-commercial reuse with attribution. Not "open data" by the strict OKDSource — Direct from employer career pagesCoverage — 4,400+ vetted companiesSearch — Typesense, faceted (seniority, stack, locale, salary)Self-host — Yes — one repo, MITYou will need 2 environment variables: DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
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. Jobseek's toolset — Code, Job, Source and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by colophon-group; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Jobseek's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
