Himalayas Remote Jobs — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
Searches remote job listings, pulls salary benchmarks and tracks job applications directly inside AI chat sessions. Built for developers looking for work or teams hiring talent.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.himalayas.app/mcpWhat Himalayas Remote Jobs does
This integration links development assistants to live remote job market data through a Streamable HTTP connection at https://mcp.himalayas.app/mcp. The service exposes 79 tools. 13 of those tools operate publicly without an account, letting users query job openings, inspect market compensation ranges in USD and view company profiles.
The remaining tools require signing in: 46 serve applicants managing their job search, while 20 cater to employers posting roles and reviewing talent. Himalayas accounts use browser-based OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, eliminating the need to store static API secrets in configuration files. If your editor has built-in remote HTTP transport, Node.js is not required.
Legacy SSE routing under /sse has been turned off with a 410 Gone status code. Environments limited strictly to local stdio communication will need to bridge the connection using the mcp-remote utility.
What it helps with
- Find remote openings filtered by skills, location and minimum pay
- Look up compensation benchmarks for tech roles across different countries
- Track job application stages from initial submission to interview
- Publish job posts and verify checkout statuses
