HirePulse tools

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.edtool79-collab/hirepulse-open-source -->

LangChain and CrewAI gateway tools (0.3.0)

pip install 'hirepulse-tools[langchain]'
# or: pip install 'hirepulse-tools[crewai]'

from hirepulse_tools.frameworks import get_langchain_tools, get_crewai_tools

tools = get_langchain_tools()  # eight StructuredTools for a LangChain agent
# tools = get_crewai_tools()  # eight BaseTools for a CrewAI agent

Both factories list tools without making network calls. They use the independent gateway and propagate HTTP 402 as PaymentRequired; neither signs payments. Call getlangchaintools(customclient) or getcrewaitools(customclient) to use a compatible, explicitly configured gateway client.

Independent gateway (new in 0.2.0)

Eight tools at https://gethirepulse.xyz, separate from the Apify tools below. No account or Apify token is needed. Five successful calls per UTC day per IP are shared across tools. Empty lookups are not charged. Prices start at $0.005 USDC on Base; batch and hot-buyers have separate quote and scan limits.

from hirepulse_tools import GatewayClient, PaymentRequired

try:
    print(GatewayClient().hiring_intent("linear.app"))
except PaymentRequired:
    print("Free allowance exhausted. No payment was attempted.")

Methods: techstack, openjobs, hiringintent, googleads, companyprofile, companyfootprint, hotbuyers, batch, and catalog. lookup(tool, body) accepts the documented gateway request body. The client does not sign payments or read wallet keys. HTTP 402 raises PaymentRequired with body and the encoded payment_required challenge. Other HTTP errors raise GatewayError; requests are not retried.

Runnable x402 examples show optional payment setup. I maintain HirePulse.

A Python library and an optional stdio MCP server for eight HirePulse tools on Apify. Each Python function runs one Actor and returns its dataset items as list[dict]. Tools run on the Apify Store, pay per use, with no subscription.

Start with hosted MCP

Apify already hosts MCP for these tools. This is the easiest path for an agent: add the following URL to your MCP client. No local Python installation is needed for this option.

Connect in one line

Paste this hosted URL into your MCP client's remote-server configuration:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=hirepulse/aliexpress-search-scraper,hirepulse/google-ads-transparency-scraper,hirepulse/company-intent-radar,hirepulse/google-jobs-scraper,hirepulse/ats-job-pulse,hirepulse/keyword-search-volume,hirepulse/domain-seo-overview,hirepulse/youtube-transcript-scraper

For one tool, use, for example, Google Ads hosted MCP. Use your client's Apify authentication setup. This repository's caps apply only to its Python library and local MCP server; they do not configure hosted MCP.

For Claude Desktop, Apify also provides this command:

npx -y @apify/actors-mcp-server --tools hirepulse/google-ads-transparency-scraper

Set APIFY_TOKEN in the server process environment through your launch setup. Use the desired hirepulse/ in --tools. Keep the token out of configuration files and command arguments.

Install the Python library

Python 3.10 or later is required. Install the published library:

python -m pip install "hirepulse-tools==0.1.1"

For the local MCP server, install the optional MCP dependencies:

python -m pip install "hirepulse-tools[mcp]==0.1.1"
python -m hirepulse_tools.mcp_server

Or launch the pinned MCP package with uvx:

uvx --from "hirepulse-tools[mcp]==0.1.1" hirepulse-mcp
