Jobs Data MCP (SteadyScrape)

Jobs Data MCP: live job postings for AI agents

A remote MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT and other MCP clients live job data, collected straight from employers' own career sites rather than job-board reposts.

Endpoint (Streamable HTTP):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steady-scrape/ats-job-feed,steady-scrape/career-jobs-search,steady-scrape/remote-jobs-api

The server runs on Apify's hosted MCP gateway (mcp.apify.com) with three SteadyScrape Actors preselected. Nothing to install or host.

Tools

You pay per job returned, billed to your own Apify account. New accounts get free monthly credit (sign up).

Authentication

Either:

• OAuth: clients that support MCP OAuth (Claude.ai, VS Code, Cursor) open an Apify sign-in the first time, or
• API token: send Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>. Get the token from Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

Client setup

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), Windsurf, and other clients that use mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobs-data": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steady-scrape/ats-job-feed,steady-scrape/career-jobs-search,steady-scrape/remote-jobs-api",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "jobs-data": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steady-scrape/ats-job-feed,steady-scrape/career-jobs-search,steady-scrape/remote-jobs-api"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http jobs-data "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steady-scrape/ats-job-feed,steady-scrape/career-jobs-search,steady-scrape/remote-jobs-api" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the endpoint URL, then sign in to Apify.

Clients that only speak stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobs-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steady-scrape/ats-job-feed,steady-scrape/career-jobs-search,steady-scrape/remote-jobs-api", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"],
      "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

• "Which of Stripe, Ramp and Notion are hiring data engineers right now? Give me links."
• "Find remote senior Python roles posted in the last 7 days, Europe-friendly."
• "Compare how many open engineering roles Figma and Canva have, by team."

Agents should keep requests small (for example maxJobsPerCompany or maxResults of 20–50) and use get-dataset-items to page through larger results.

Registry files

• server.json: official MCP Registry entry (io.github.steadyscrape/jobs-data-mcp)
• glama.json: Glama maintainer claim
