JobGPT - Job Search Automation

Selective Reading Rule

• references/quality-checklist.md

Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.

Overview

JobGPT connects your AI assistant to a complete job search automation platform via the JobGPT MCP server. It provides 34 tools covering job search, auto-apply, resume generation, application tracking, salary intelligence, and recruiter outreach so you can manage your entire job hunt from your AI coding assistant.

Built by 6figr.com, the platform supports 150+ countries with salary data, job matching, and automated applications.

When to Use This Skill

• You want to search for jobs with filters like titles, locations, salary, remote, and H1B sponsorship
• You want to auto-apply to jobs automatically
• You want to generate a tailored resume for a specific job application
• You want to track your job applications across multiple job hunts
• You want to find recruiters or referrers at target companies and send outreach emails
• You want to import a job from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or any job board URL
• You want to check your salary and compare compensation across roles

Setup

This skill requires the JobGPT MCP server:

1. Create an account - Sign up at 6figr.com/jobgpt-ai
2. Get an API key - Go to 6figr.com/account, scroll to MCP Integrations, and click Generate API Key. The key starts with mcp_.
3. Add the MCP server:
   • Claude Code: claude mcp add jobgpt -t http -u https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp --header "Authorization: <api-key>"
   • Other tools: Add jobgpt-mcp-server as an MCP server with env var JOBGPT_API_KEY set. Install via npx jobgpt-mcp-server.

Set the JOBGPT_API_KEY environment variable when you are running the local npx jobgpt-mcp-server path.

Examples

Find Remote Jobs

"Find remote senior React jobs paying over $150k"

The skill uses search_jobs with title, remote, and salary filters to find matching positions, then presents results with company, title, location, salary range, and key skills.

Auto-Apply to Jobs

"Auto-apply to the top 5 matches from my job hunt"

The skill checks that your resume is uploaded, uses match_jobs to find new matches, saves the selected matches with add_job_to_applications, then triggers apply_to_job for each resulting application. It monitors progress with get_application_stats.

Generate a Tailored Resume

"Generate a tailored resume for this Google application"

The skill calls generate_resume_for_job to create an AI-optimized resume targeting the specific job's requirements, then provides the download link via get_generated_resume.

Import and Apply from a URL

"Apply to this job for me - https://boards.greenhouse.io/company/jobs/12345"

The skill uses import_job_by_url to import the job from any supported platform (LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday), adds it to applications, and optionally triggers auto-apply.

Recruiter Outreach

"Find recruiters for this job and draft an outreach email"

The skill finds recruiters with get_job_recruiters and helps craft a personalized message. The draft is presented to the user for review; send_outreach is only called after explicit user confirmation.

Check Application Stats

"Show my application stats for the last 7 days"

The skill uses get_application_stats for an aggregated overview - total counts by status, auto-apply metrics, and pipeline progress.

Best Practices

• Check credits first - Auto-apply and resume generation consume credits. Use get_credits before batch operations.
• Complete your profile - Run get_profile first and fill in missing fields with update_profile for better job matches.
• Upload a resume before applying - Use list_resumes to check, and upload_resume if needed.
• Use job hunts for ongoing searches - Create a job hunt with create_job_hunt to save filters and get continuous matches.
• Use get_application for saved jobs - If a user asks about a job they've already saved, use get_application instead of get_job.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
"Missing Authorization header"	For Claude Code and other remote HTTP MCP setups, confirm the Authorization header is configured on the MCP server entry
"Missing API key"	For the local npx jobgpt-mcp-server setup, ensure JOBGPT_API_KEY is set to your API key
"Insufficient credits"	Check balance with get_credits. Purchase more at 6figr.com/account
Auto-apply not working	Ensure a resume is uploaded and the job hunt has auto-apply enabled
No job matches found	Broaden your search filters (fewer titles, more locations, wider salary range)
