ATS Jobs

ats-jobs-mcp

Look up a company's open jobs from its Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby job board, from the command line or from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ...).

• Zero dependencies. Plain Node.js 18+, no build step, no API keys.
• Official public APIs only. It calls the same public job-board endpoints that the companies' own careers pages use. No HTML scraping, no headless browser, no proxies.
• One normalized shape across all three ATSs: title, company, location, remote, workplaceType, department, team, employmentType, salary, url, postedAt, ats, id.
• Slug auto-detect. Give it ramp, ashby:ramp or https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp; if you don't say which ATS, it checks all three.

Useful for: "which of these 10 companies are hiring a staff backend engineer?", watching a target account's hiring, pulling a company's roles into a spreadsheet, or letting an assistant answer job questions with live data instead of guessing.

New: search 1,287 companies at once

No company list? The search_jobs_all_companies tool searches a built-in directory of 1,287 public startup and tech career boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Personio, Recruitee) by keyword, location, remote and posting date: "data engineer jobs in Berlin or remote, posted this week". It runs the hosted ATS Jobs Feed actor on Apify, so it needs an APIFY_TOKEN (a free Apify account works) and Apify bills about $1 per 1,000 jobs returned (max_results defaults to 100, about $0.10). The two single-company tools stay free and keyless.

MCP Registry name: mcp-name: io.github.benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp

Use it with an MCP client

The server speaks MCP over stdio. It needs Node.js 18+ and network access; npx fetches it straight from this GitHub repo. Always use github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp. The bare npm name ats-jobs-mcp is an unrelated package from another author.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config), then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ats-jobs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp", "mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "optional, only for search_jobs_all_companies" }
    }
  }
}

Or download ats-jobs-mcp.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it to install in Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ats-jobs -- npx -y github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp mcp

Cursor

Add the same block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ats-jobs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client that can launch a stdio server works the same way.

Tools

query matches title, department, team and location. Spaces mean AND, commas mean OR: "backend engineer, sre".

Example prompts: "Is Ramp hiring remote engineers? Group them by team." / "Which ATS does Notion use, and what sales roles are open?" / "Compare open data roles at airbnb, palantir and ramp."

Use it from the command line

npx github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp jobs <company-slug|board-url> [--ats greenhouse|lever|ashby] [--q keyword] [--remote] [--location text] [--days n] [--limit n] [--json|--csv]
npx github:benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp detect <company-slug>

Real output (October 2026):

(UUIDs shortened above.) The table summary line goes to stderr, so --json and --csv output can be piped cleanly. Exit code is 2 when no board is found.

As a library

import { fetchCompanyJobs, filterJobs } from 'ats-jobs-mcp';
const { ats, jobs } = await fetchCompanyJobs('ramp');
console.log(ats, filterJobs(jobs, { query: 'engineer', remote: true }).length);

Data sources

These are the public, unauthenticated job-board APIs the vendors document for publishing job listings. Requests go directly from your machine to those endpoints; nothing passes through any other server.

Limitations

• You need the board slug. It's usually the company name, but not always (check the careers URL: jobs.ashbyhq.com/<slug>, jobs.lever.co/<slug>, boards.greenhouse.io/<slug>). Companies on other ATSs (Workday, SmartRecruiters, iCIMS, custom pages, ...) are not supported.
• "remote" is a best effort. Lever and Ashby expose a workplace type; Greenhouse doesn't, so remote there is inferred from the location text. Ashby marks a job remote when any of its locations is remote (e.g. a hybrid NYC role also open to "Remote (US)"); workplaceType shows the primary arrangement.
• Fields vary by ATS. Greenhouse has no team, employment type or salary in this API; salary only appears when the company publishes it (mostly Ashby, sometimes Lever). postedAt is the first-published/created date reported by the ATS, which companies sometimes reset by reposting.
• Lever EU boards (api.eu.lever.co) aren't queried yet.
• No caching or rate limiting. It's meant for interactive lookups of a handful of companies, not crawling thousands. Be polite with the public APIs.
• If the same slug exists on more than one ATS (e.g. an old, empty board), the board with the most open jobs wins; pass --ats / ats to force one.

Run it in the cloud (no install)

The same five-ATS fetcher is published as an Apify actor: ATS Jobs Feed on Apify. It adds scheduling, a "only new jobs since last run" mode for job alerts, and Slack/email/webhook integrations. Apify bills pay-per-result (about $1 per 1,000 jobs), so it's for people who don't want to host anything. This CLI stays free.

Company on Workday (*.myworkdayjobs.com)? Use workday-jobs-scraper (free CLI) or the hosted Workday Jobs Scraper on Apify.

Development

git clone https://github.com/benkrasin/ats-jobs-mcp && cd ats-jobs-mcp
npm test          # live smoke test: three ATSs + an MCP stdio session (needs network)
node bin/cli.js jobs airbnb --limit 5

The MCP server (src/mcp.js) is a small, dependency-free implementation of the MCP stdio transport (newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0: initialize, ping, tools/list, tools/call). It has also been checked against the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk client.
