## What it does

The server gives your assistant a job search over listings that employers published themselves on career pages and public ATS platforms such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Beisen and Moka. Each row from `search_jobs` carries the company, location, the posting date reported by the employer's system, how many days the role has been open, and a link to the employer's apply form. That is the point: the agent reasons about the age of a listing instead of trusting a board's refreshed “2 days ago” label.

The index sits on your own machine. On first start the server fetches it in the background; only an anonymous fingerprint and a job id travel to the server. There is no field for a résumé in the protocol. Applications are never submitted — the server stops at the employer's own page. Result order is a pure function of match and freshness, so nobody can buy a slot.

You need `uv` on the machine, since the config launches the server through `uvx openhire`; some setups also pass `OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL`. What `ghost_score` measures is time on the market. A role open for months may simply be hard to fill, and that is a question to put to the employer, not a verdict.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Environment variables: `OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL=<OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL> --transport stdio openhire -- uvx openhire
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from openhire <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add openhire --env OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL=<OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL> -- uvx openhire
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from openhire <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "openhire": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "openhire"
            ],
            "env": {
                "OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL": "<OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from openhire <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "openhire": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "openhire"
            ],
            "env": {
                "OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL": "<OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from openhire <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add -e OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL=<OPENHIRE_DATABASE_URL> openhire uvx openhire
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from openhire <command>

## When to use it
- drop listings that have sat open for months
- get the employer's real posting date instead of a board's label
- find roles in AI, infrastructure, autonomous driving and robotics
- reach the employer's own apply form in one hop
- search jobs without handing a résumé to a third party

## Example prompts
- Use OpenHire to find senior Python roles that are still open and skip anything on the market for more than three months
- Search openhire for robotics jobs in Shanghai with company, posting date, days open and the apply link
