This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 8

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

job

get_job

Fetch one job posting in full: markdown description, salary ranges, locations with work mode, derived employment types, apply URL, posting dates and the canonical JobYap discussion URL. Works for expired jobs too (apply_url is null once inactive).

get_job_comments

Fetch the community discussion thread for a job: chronological, threaded via parent_id, with like counts. Comments are user-generated content. Threads stay open after a job expires.

get_job_stats

Aggregate stats: companies tracked, active job count, and the newest posting date.

companies

list_companies

List every company JobYap tracks with its active job count and JobYap company-page URL. Use the exact names as search_jobs company filters.

fetch

fetch

Retrieve the full JobYap document for a search result id: the complete posting as markdown (description, salary, locations, apply link) plus top community comments, with a citable URL.

jobs

search_jobs

Search JobYap's aggregated job postings with structured filters. The text query matches job titles only (case-insensitive substring) — try synonyms or shorter tokens when results are thin. Company names must exactly match values from list_companies; locations must be identifiers from search_locations. work_mode matches jobs explicitly marked remote or hybrid (unmarked means unstated, not onsite). Results are active listings, newest first by default; sort=popular ranks by discussion activity. To paginate, pass next_cursor back as cursor and keep every other argument identical.

locations

search_locations

Resolve a free-text place name ("bay area", "Germany", "berlin") to the location identifiers search_jobs accepts (country-XX, state-XX-YY, city-XX-YY-name). Searches every place JobYap knows, not only those with current openings, so an identifier may match no jobs. City display omits the state, and the list can be shorter than limit.

search

Search JobYap job postings by natural-language query. Matches job titles, falling back to significant keywords when the full phrase finds little. Returns result ids, titles and citable URLs for use with fetch. For structured filtering (location, company, remote, freshness) prefer search_jobs.

JobYap Job Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can JobYap Job Search do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, get_job, get_job_comments, get_job_stats, list_companies, search and 2 more. 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 JobYap Job Search working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 290 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is JobYap Job Search still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect JobYap Job Search?

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

Does JobYap Job Search need an API key?

No. JobYap Job Search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is JobYap Job Search?

It answers our handshake in 290 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use JobYap Job Search?

The npm package jobyap-mcp was installed 41 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
