Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Startup Jobs every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 396 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 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 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 396 ms on average, which is faster than 33% 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?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at api.startup.jobs, which runs on its operator's own terms.
