Job Search MCP

A personal job-search assistant for Claude Desktop. You ask Claude to find jobs; it searches the real job boards, scores each one 0–100 for how well it fits you, and shows them on a ranked board you can triage with one click. Everything runs locally - no API keys, no accounts required. Its 10 documented tools cover jobs, board, status.

People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
