## What it does

HasData Indeed exposes two read-only tools through MCP. One returns a page of Indeed listings for a keyword and location. The other retrieves a chosen posting with fields such as employer, place, pay, publication date, requirements, benefits, and the application URL.

It is a hosted HTTP server at `https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=indeed`, so there is no container to run. Access requires a HasData API key, passed as `x-api-key`; the key is created in the HasData dashboard. Without `HASDATA_API_KEY`, the server cannot make requests.

The service reads public postings visible to a signed-out Indeed visitor. Each tool call costs 10 credits, while the free tier provides 1,000 credits per month. Fetching full details for several results uses one details call per result.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=indeed`
- Environment variables: `HASDATA_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
