Applystead MCP server
Search open jobs from employers' own career sites, straight from ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client.
Applystead's MCP server is a remote, read-only Model Context Protocol server. It searches the open roles Applystead publishes from employers' own applicant tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and more), lists a company's open jobs, and checks whether a job posting is still open. No install, no API key, no sign-in.
- Server URL: https://applystead.com/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless JSON responses)
- Authentication: none (the data is public)
- Docs: https://applystead.com/developers
Add it
Claude (custom connector)
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Applystead and enter https://applystead.com/mcp as the remote MCP server URL. Leave OAuth empty.
- Enable the connector in a chat and ask a job question.
ChatGPT (developer mode)
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Under Apps & Connectors, choose Create, name it Applystead and enter https://applystead.com/mcp as the MCP server URL, with no authentication.

Other MCP clients
Any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers works. For example, in a JSON client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"applystead": { "type": "http", "url": "https://applystead.com/mcp" }
}
}Try it with curl:
curl -s https://applystead.com/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_jobs","arguments":{"query":"data engineer","limit":3}}}'Tools
All tools are read-only and idempotent. Every job opens on its Applystead job page, with Apply with Applystead.
