Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http whatjobs https://mcp.whatjobs.com/mcp

Other MCP clients

Add a remote MCP server with the endpoint URL and the Streamable HTTP transport. The configuration format depends on the client; a typical entry looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whatjobs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.whatjobs.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Results	Text for the model plus structuredContent; an MCP Apps view (ui://whatjobs/view.html) renders them as job cards and charts in hosts that support it.

Tool reference

7 tools. Inputs are generated from the server's live tool definitions. The assistant fills them in from what the person asks.

Input	Type	Notes
keyword required	string	the job role only (e.g. "nurse", "software engineer").

Example: “How much does a data analyst earn in Berlin?”

locations required	list of strings	one or more places to compare (city, region or country), not the user's own location unless they ask about jobs near them.

Results and links

• Job results include the title, company, place, salary when the listing shows one, when it was posted, part of the description, and a link to the job on WhatJobs.
• Salary figures come from current listings that show a salary, in each country's own currency, for the pay period most listings use. Amounts are never converted between currencies.
• Links carry WhatJobs' publisher ID and utm_source naming the assistant (for example chatgpt or claude), so WhatJobs can attribute the visit.
• If the job data can't be loaded, tools still answer with a link to the same search on WhatJobs instead of failing.

Countries

United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Germany, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bahrain, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Dominican Republic, Algeria, Nigeria, Netherlands and France. The country is inferred from the place searched, or can be passed as a market code.

Your data

• What we receive. Only the search details the assistant sends: the role, place and country, and for profile matches up to four job titles and ten skills. Each field is cut to 100 characters, so there's no room for a conversation or a CV's text. We never ask for your name or contact details.
• What we keep. A log of each request (the search details, which assistant sent it and what the app showed) to run and improve the service. Logs are deleted after 6 months.
• On your device. The results view remembers which jobs you have opened, to mark them "Viewed". That list stays in your browser for up to 90 days and is never sent to us.
• Deleting your data. Disconnect WhatJobs in your assistant's settings at any time. To have your logs deleted sooner, or to get a copy, contact us with roughly what you searched and when.
