Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

application

application_system_facts

Facts about an application system (ATS) from applications Haystack's AI agent sent: how many fields its forms have, the questions they ask most, and how fast employers on it reply. Without a system, the overall figures.

employer

employer_facts

What Haystack knows about applying to an employer: live roles, the share of applications that got a reply, the median time to the first reply, how many fields its form has and the questions it asks. Pass no company to get the employers most likely to reply to an application.

job

get_job

One job's details by its Haystack id: title, employer, location, pay, work mode, skills, what the advert says (no experience, no degree, visa sponsorship), the description, and facts about applying to that employer from Haystack's data (reply rate, time to reply, form questions) when known.

jobs

search_jobs

Search live jobs on Haystack, newest first. Filter by job title words, country, city, remote, and by what the advert says: no experience needed, no degree needed, visa sponsorship offered. Returns up to 20 jobs, each with its link, and an Auto Apply link when Haystack's AI agent can fill in and submit the employer's form.

Haystack Jobs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Haystack Jobs do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: application_system_facts, employer_facts, get_job, search_jobs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Haystack Jobs working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 402 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Haystack Jobs?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Haystack Jobs need an API key?

No. Haystack Jobs completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Haystack Jobs?

It answers our handshake in 402 ms on average, which is faster than 32% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
