CareJobs.Now MCP server
A free, hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol server for US healthcare jobs. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients search the open jobs that CareJobs.Now reads every day from the career sites of 258 hospitals, health systems, clinic groups and care companies (170,000+ openings), with the pay each employer posts. Every answer links to the job's page on CareJobs.Now, where the user applies on the employer's own site.
