## What it does

JobYap Job Search is a remote MCP server at `https://mcp.jobyap.com/mcp` speaking streamable HTTP. It hands your agent live postings collected from company career pages, complete with pay ranges, full write-ups, apply links and discussion threads. Everything is read-only, and you never sign up or paste a key.

There are several tools. `search_jobs` narrows results by title keywords, employer, location, work format and recency, with cursor pagination. `match_jobs` screens candidates in a single call: feed it job titles, companies, places, experience, sponsorship requirements and skills, and it returns a ranked shortlist with the requirement wording. That call reads every description, so expect 10 to 15 seconds; reach for `search_jobs` when you just want to browse. The rest are `get_job`, `get_job_comments`, `search_locations`, `list_companies` and `get_job_stats`.

Clients that only speak stdio need the `jobyap-mcp` bridge run through `npx`. Cursor and GitHub Copilot take a hand-written config block in their settings file. If your tool has no MCP support at all, the `skills/jobyap` skill teaches the agent to hit the JSON API with curl instead.
