What the publisher says

From the Applystead repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

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)

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Applystead and enter https://applystead.com/mcp as the remote MCP server URL. Leave OAuth empty.
  3. Enable the connector in a chat and ask a job question.

ChatGPT (developer mode)

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Under Apps & Connectors, choose Create, name it Applystead and enter https://applystead.com/mcp as the MCP server URL, with no authentication.
  3. Select the app in a chat. Results render in an interactive job list.

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.
