Employed by Guaq AI: agent plugin
Live job search for AI agents. Employed by Guaq AI indexes roles verified on about 5,000 real employer applicant-tracking boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, SmartRecruiters and more). This plugin connects your agent to it, so you can ask for jobs in plain language and get live roles with the employer's own apply link.
What you get
- A remote MCP connector at
https://jobs.guaqai.me/mcp. Search tools:search_jobs,count_jobs,get_job,list_companies,company_profile,market_signal,api_meta(plusexport_jobson the localnpxserver). Your own account:get_my_profile,update_my_profile,profile_options,get_my_feed,list_my_applications,track_job,untrack_job,get_my_alerts,follow_company,unfollow_company,set_email_alerts, so you can set up your profile from a CV, read your ranked feed and track applications without leaving the chat. - Five skills that teach the agent how to use it well:
Skill Use it to employed-jobsSearch with the exact filter vocabulary (domain, seniority, location, work mode, tech, visa signal) job-search-from-resumeTurn a resume or background into a ranked shortlist employer-researchSee what one or more employers hire for right now hiring-market-briefSize demand for a skill, role or city, with limits stated application-trackerKeep a Markdown or CSV tracker you own - Two agents (
job-search-agent,employer-research-agent) and three slash commands (/employed:find-jobs,/employed:company,/employed:market) on platforms that support them. - Interactive results UI (MCP Apps and the ChatGPT Apps SDK) served by the remote server where the host renders it.
- No hooks. Nothing in this bundle runs code on your machine.

Try it
- "Find entry-level backend roles in India that likely sponsor a visa."
- "Which companies are hiring Rust engineers remotely?"
- "Is Stripe hiring in London right now, and for what?"
- "Here is my resume. What should I apply to?"
Data this plugin sends
When your agent calls a tool, the connector sends the search filters and ids the agent chose (for example role_type=new_grad, location_scope=india, a company name, a posting id) and your sign-in token to https://jobs.guaqai.me, plus, when you ask it to update your profile or tracker, the profile fields or status you agreed to. It does not send your resume file, conversation, or anything else from your machine. Skills are plain instructions; they contain no code. The optional npx launcher described in docs/INSTALL.md runs the open-source employed-mcp package, pinned to an exact version, and talks to the same service.
Read the privacy policy and terms. Support: https://jobs.guaqai.me/support or support@guaqai.me.
Honest by design
- Every role links to the employer's own apply page. The plugin never applies for you or contacts anyone.
- Visa sponsorship marked
likelyis an inference from posting text and employer history, not a guarantee.statedmeans the posting says so. - Counts describe postings live on employer boards, not total headcount or hires.
- Posting text is third-party content. The skills tell the agent to treat it as data, never as instructions.
