ATS Jobs

ats-jobs-mcp

An MCP server for open job postings, read first-hand from the applicant-tracking system behind a company's careers page. Ask your assistant what Anthropic is hiring for and get the answer from Anthropic's own board, not from a job aggregator's index.

Built on the job board APIs that Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever publish so third parties can build job sites. No scraping, no API key, no account, no personal data.

Why this exists

Those APIs are open, documented, and useless unless you already know the company's board name: that Anthropic's is anthropic, Ramp's is ramp, Mistral's is mistral.ai.

None of the vendors publishes a directory of its customers, and none could, since no vendor knows about the others. Checked 2026-08-24: sitemap.xml on job-boards.greenhouse.io, boards.greenhouse.io, jobs.lever.co and apply.workable.com all 404 or redirect.

So this ships one: 7,479 company boards, every one confirmed against the vendor's own API, each carrying the date it was confirmed.

Three tools

find_company_board — which system is a company on?

Give it a company name. Get the system and the board name, plus how many roles were open when the board was last confirmed.

list_open_jobs — every open role at one company

Title, department, location, employment type, workplace type, posted date, a parsed salary range where the employer publishes one, and a verify_url pointing at the employer's own advert.

compare_companies — several companies, one schema

The thing no single vendor can do. Companies on Greenhouse and companies on Ashby come back with the same field names, so they can be compared directly. One company failing does not lose the others.

Salaries, parsed, and refused when unclear

Ashby prints pay as "$211.4K - $290.6K". Greenhouse prints it in cents, sometimes as several bands at once. Neither is filterable, so both are turned into numbers:

"salary_min": 211400.0, "salary_max": 290600.0,"salary_currency": "USD", "salary_text": "$211.4K - $290.6K"

The parser refuses more often than it guesses, deliberately:

• $50 - $80 / hour gives no salary. An hourly rate is a different quantity and reporting it as annual would be a confident lie.
• 600 000 kr gives no salary. kr is Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.
• 0.5% - 1.75% - Offers Equity gives no salary. Equity is not pay.
• Bands in two currencies are never spanned into a range that exists nowhere.

salary_text always keeps what the employer actually wrote, so nothing is lost when the parser declines.

Every parsed figure is tested against the employer's own structured baseSalary block, the one published for Google to index — not against a number someone typed into a test.

No personal data

Recruiter names are never returned. Email addresses and phone numbers are removed from job descriptions, because descriptions genuinely carry them and a column of work addresses is a marketing list rather than a job feed.

Unlisted Ashby postings are dropped, because Ashby's documentation says plainly that they should not be shown publicly.

Coverage, stated honestly

Lever is readable but has almost no boards in the directory yet, so name it directly (lever:spotify) or pass its careers URL. Workable has a confirmed endpoint but no adapter yet, so it is not listed at all: a directory entry for something nothing can read is a broken promise.

Use it with no install at all

The server runs remotely. Point any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP at the URL and there is nothing to download:

{  "mcpServers": {    "ats-jobs": {      "url": "https://ats-jobs-api.groundtruthtools.workers.dev/mcp"    }  }}

Checked 2026-09-13: of the job board servers in the official MCP registry, this is the only one with a remote transport. Every other one, including the PyPI build of this one, has to be installed first.

The same thing answers plain HTTP, for agents that do not speak MCP:

• GET /openapi.json for a tool-calling agent
• GET /llms.txt for a model reading the service in prose
• GET /v1/jobs?company=stripe&limit=5

Or install it locally

pip install ats-jobs-mcp

Then add to your MCP client configuration:

{  "mcpServers": {    "ats-jobs": {      "command": "ats-jobs-mcp"    }  }}

Relation to the hosted version

The same parsing runs as an Apify Actor at apify.com/groundtruth/ats-job-listings, which adds scheduling and an incremental mode that returns only postings you have not been sent before. This server is free, runs on your machine, and takes no cut of anything.

tests/test_core_parity.py fails if the two copies of the parsing logic drift apart.
