Startup Jobs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Startup Jobs do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_company, get_company_jobs, get_job, job_trends, list_countries, list_roles 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 →
What is Startup Jobs mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around company and job. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Startup 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 463 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Startup Jobs?
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 Startup Jobs need an API key?
No. Startup Jobs 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 Startup Jobs?
It answers our handshake in 463 ms on average, which is faster than 26% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Startup Jobs open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
