Freehire MCP Server

An MCP server over the freehire job API. It lets any MCP host - Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or a compatible agent - search, filter, and apply to IT jobs without a browser, authenticating with a personal API key. Postings are crawled straight from company career boards - 3.3M+ open roles across 294K companies, normalized into one schema and tagged with stack, seniority, region and work mode (live figures). Its 19 documented tools cluster into other, submissions, whoami, facets.

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

01 · Install Freehire

before you install - you'll need

FREEHIRE_TOKEN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add strelov1-freehire-mcp -- npx -y freehire-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strelov1-freehire-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "freehire-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
