tw-jobs-mcp

English · 繁體中文

Search Taiwan job postings from any AI assistant. tw-jobs-mcp is a read-only MCP server that covers 104 人力銀行, Yourator, and the Taiwan openings on foreign companies' own career sites (Greenhouse, Lever, and 38 employers on Workday). Ask in plain Chinese or English; the assistant turns the request into precise filters.

No account and no API key are needed.

claude mcp add tw-jobs -s user -- uvx tw-jobs-mcp

Unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by 104 or any other site it reads. It calls the same public endpoints the sites' own pages use. Keep the request rate low and follow each site's terms. No job data ships with this project.

What you can ask

Find .NET backend jobs in Taipei paying at least 50,000 a month, and tell me what the market pays.

I have two years of experience. Show remote backend postings in New Taipei, read the top three, and compare the companies.

Is this posting worth applying to? How many people applied, and what are their backgrounds?

Which foreign chip companies are hiring hardware engineers in Hsinchu?

Does this company have any data roles, even ones whose title does not say so?

Behind the scenes the assistant chains the tools. The output below is illustrative; companies and ids are made up.

Why this server

  • Reaches roles 104 does not have. Foreign companies often post Taiwan openings only on their own career sites. One search with source="all" covers 104, Yourator, Greenhouse and Lever boards (Appier, Stripe, MongoDB, Pinkoi and more), and Workday sites of chip, hardware, pharma and finance employers (NVIDIA, Micron, Applied Materials, KLA, Cisco, Intel, NXP, GSK and more). Results from every source are merged and ranked together.
  • Finds the posting you half remember. Results are reordered by how many of your words the title and company cover. On 40 test searches built from real postings, the intended one ranked first 35 times, against 18 with 104's own order.
  • Shows the competition. For a 104 posting, get_job(applicants=true) reports how many people applied in the last two weeks and how they break down by education, experience, age, major, language, skills and certificates. Every posting shows how recently the employer handled résumés, a fair hint of whether anyone reads applications.
  • Filters that really filter. Keyword, area, job category, salary floor (monthly, yearly, daily or hourly), years of experience, education, job type, remote, and posted in the last 7 days. Every filter was checked against the live site, and a source that cannot apply one says so under the results.
  • Made for capable models. Every allowed value is in the schema. The server instructions state principles, not long case lists. The server handles only what the model cannot see: it widens an ambiguous place name, turns an unmatched category into a keyword, and loosens filters one at a time when nothing matches. Each of these assumptions is listed under the results.
  • Light on context. Replies are compact tables, not JSON: 20 postings take about 2,000 characters, under a fifth of the same data as JSON. All six tool definitions together are under 3,000 characters. Long texts are clipped unless you ask for full.
  • Read-only and polite. It never logs in, applies or saves anything. It paces requests to each site (one per second on 104), caches responses for five minutes, and drops the two paid postings 104 pins to every page.

Install

Requires uv. These commands run the published package from PyPI. It is also listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.HsuanC0921/tw-jobs-mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add tw-jobs -s user -- uvx tw-jobs-mcp

OpenAI Codex CLI

codex mcp add tw-jobs -- uvx tw-jobs-mcp

or in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.tw-jobs]
command = "uvx"
args = ["tw-jobs-mcp"]
startup_timeout_sec = 60   # the first run downloads dependencies

Claude Desktop: download tw-jobs-mcp-<version>.mcpb from Releases and open it, or use the JSON below.

Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and other mcpServers clients: add to ~/.gemini/settings.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, Windsurf's mcp_config.json, or the client's equivalent:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tw-jobs": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["tw-jobs-mcp"] }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot): .vscode/mcp.json uses servers and needs a type:

{
  "servers": {
    "tw-jobs": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["tw-jobs-mcp"] }
  }
}

Remote (HTTP) and Docker, for clients that connect by URL or a server shared by a team:

uvx tw-jobs-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8000   # http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp
docker build -t tw-jobs-mcp . && docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 tw-jobs-mcp

The HTTP server has no authentication. Keep it on localhost or a private network, or put an authenticating reverse proxy in front.

Unreleased code: uvx --from git+https://github.com/HsuanC0921/tw-jobs-mcp tw-jobs-mcp.

Agent skill

The server already tells a model how to use it. skills/tw-jobs gives agents that load skills more guidance: turning a request into arguments, picking a source, reading the notes, and reporting honestly. It follows the open Agent Skills format.

  • Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add HsuanC0921/tw-jobs-mcp, then /plugin install tw-jobs@tw-jobs-mcp (bundles the server and the skill). Or copy skills/tw-jobs to ~/.claude/skills/.
  • Codex and other skill-aware agents: copy skills/tw-jobs to ~/.agents/skills/.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_jobsSearch postings. Returns a table: id, company_id, title, company, pay, location, education, skills, posted date.
get_jobThe full posting: description, requirements, pay, hours, leave, welfare, and how recently HR handled résumés. 104 only: applicants=true adds the applicant count and background breakdown, similar=true adds similar postings.
get_companyCompany profile. with_openings=true adds current openings; keyword lists only matching openings, and on 104 it also matches the job description.
salary_overviewPay statistics (median, quartiles, min, max) over 1 to 5 pages of a 104 search, grouped by pay unit.
sourcesLive check of which sources are reachable and which are blocked.
lookup_codeFind a 104 area or category code by name, or browse the tree.

search_jobs arguments, all optional:

ArgumentMeaning
keyword, keyword_en1 to 3 short terms. Chinese in keyword for 104, English in keyword_en for the foreign sites, each a translation of the other. The assistant fills both, so a Chinese request also finds foreign postings.
source104 (default), yourator, boards, workday, or all
area, jobcatChinese names, e.g. ["台北市", "新北市"], ["軟體工程師"]
salary_min, salary_unitSalary floor and its unit: 月薪 (default), 年薪, 日薪, 時薪
include_negotiableWith salary_min, also list postings that do not state a salary (104 leaves them out by default)
my_yearsThe user's years of experience; lists postings asking for no more, 經驗不拘 included
education高中職, 專科, 大學, 碩士, 博士
job_type全職, 兼職, 高階, 派遣
remote_only, new_onlyRemote only; posted within 7 days
sortrelevance (default), newest, salary
page, per_pagePaging, up to 30 per page

Ids tell where a posting lives: a bare id is 104, y: Yourator, g: / l: Greenhouse / Lever, w: Workday. Pass them back as listed.

Add or remove career sites with TW_JOBS_BOARDS (g:gitlab,l:kraken,-g:stripe) and TW_JOBS_WORKDAY (acme.wd1/External,-micron); a leading - removes one. Each Workday search reads the first 60 rows per company, so narrow deep searches with a keyword.

Left out on purpose: 1111 (the same kind of board as 104, smaller), Cake (a Cloudflare challenge on every request) and LinkedIn (its terms forbid automated access).

How it works and its limits

104 sits behind Cloudflare, which answers ordinary HTTP clients with a 403. curl_cffi presents a real Chrome TLS fingerprint and gets through. Area and category names are resolved locally against 104's public code tables.

  • Read-only. No login, applying or bookmarking. Giving an AI your job-board password is not worth the risk.
  • No company-name search. 104 blocks that endpoint to scripts. Reach a company through the company_id on a posting, or put its name in keyword.
  • The applicant count is inferred. 104 publishes only percentages, so the count is the smallest number that fits them, a floor rather than an exact figure.
  • salary_overview samples the most relevant postings rather than the whole site, and many postings do not publish pay.

Development

uv sync
uv run pytest                  # offline unit and protocol tests
uv run pytest -m live          # against the real sites
uv run python scripts/update_codes.py   # refresh 104's area and category tables
