Job Search Directly in Claude Desktop

Stop context-switching between job boards and your development work. This MCP server brings job search capabilities directly into Claude Desktop, so you can check opportunities without leaving your coding environment.

Why This Matters

You're deep in a coding session when you remember to check if there are any interesting opportunities. Instead of opening multiple job boards, losing your flow, and spending 30 minutes scrolling through irrelevant listings, you can now ask Claude to search for jobs that match your criteria - all within your existing chat interface.

What You Get

Intelligent Filtering: Search by keywords, exclude specific terms, filter for remote work, and set time ranges (jobs from the last day, week, etc.). No more wading through irrelevant listings.

Context-Aware Results: Since Claude understands your conversation history, it can refine searches based on your preferences and help you analyze opportunities that match your current situation.

Seamless Integration: Results appear directly in your chat, formatted and ready for discussion. Ask follow-up questions, request analysis, or dive deeper into specific opportunities.

Real-World Scenarios

The Passive Job Hunter: Set up a weekly check for "senior frontend engineer" roles excluding "blockchain" and "crypto" keywords. Get a curated list without the noise.

Market Research: Quickly survey what's available in your tech stack. Search for "Python machine learning" jobs to see salary ranges and company types hiring in your area.

Opportunity Analysis: Found an interesting role? Ask Claude to analyze the job description against your skills and suggest how to position your application.

Remote Work Focus: Filter specifically for remote positions and exclude on-site requirements, saving time on opportunities that don't match your location preferences.

Setup Takes 30 Seconds

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "job-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "job-searchoor"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to search. No additional configuration needed.

The Flow

Instead of opening LinkedIn, Indeed, and three other job boards:

1. Ask Claude: "Find senior TypeScript roles from the last week, remote only"
2. Get Results: Filtered, relevant listings appear in your chat
3. Refine: "Exclude anything with 'blockchain' and show me the top 5"
4. Analyze: "Compare the requirements for these roles with my current skills"

Your job search becomes part of your conversation with Claude, not a separate workflow that breaks your focus.

This isn't about replacing dedicated job platforms - it's about making opportunistic job searching fit naturally into your development routine. When you're already talking to Claude about technical problems, asking about job opportunities feels like a natural extension of that conversation.
