USAJOBS MCP
MCP server for USAJOBS: federal job search. Needs a free API key.
Setup
Get a key at https://developer.usajobs.gov/ (free), then:
export USAJOBS_API_KEY=your_key_here
export USAJOBS_EMAIL=you@example.com
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js
The server uses stdio, so it can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, MCP Inspector, or another compatible MCP client.
Tools at a glance
search_jobs: US federal jobs by keyword and location, with pay bands and closing dates.
Limits and privacy
This project is intentionally narrow. It should be treated as a practical helper, not a complete certification or security audit. Check the implementation and the returned data before using it with sensitive material. Your key stays local and is only sent to USAJOBS. Read-only.
Licence — no paywall
Every tool in this package is free: no licence key, no premium tier, no hosted
licence gateway. The paywall machinery this repo once carried (per-tool licence
checks and paid hosted endpoints) was removed repo-wide on 2026-10-17. Nothing
that this package installs or calls asks you to pay.
