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.

maritime
get_maritime_job
Get the details of one Krew Guru vacancy by its vac_id: rank, vessel type and size, salary range in USD per month (net), contract length, boarding date and port, requirements (citizenship, English level, certificates, visas) and a vacancy_url to open it on krew.guru. Use this when the seafarer wants more about a vacancy returned by search_maritime_jobs or by create_seafarer_profile_draft (matched_vacancies). Do not use for searching (use search_maritime_jobs) or for company contact details, which are not returned.
search_maritime_jobs
Search open vacancies for seafarers on Krew Guru by rank, vessel type and boarding date. Use this when a seafarer asks which jobs are open, for example "2/E jobs on bulk carriers joining in November" or "AB vacancies on tankers". Returns up to 20 published vacancies with a boarding date that has not passed, salary range in USD per month (net), contract length in months and a vacancy_url to open the vacancy on krew.guru. Company contacts are not returned; the seafarer applies on krew.guru. Do not use for checking whether a crewing agency or a job offer is genuine, for jobs ashore, or for a seafarer's own applications.
profile
get_profile_draft_status
Check a Krew Guru profile draft by its draft_token from create_seafarer_profile_draft: status (verification_sent or email_required), masked email, CV preview without contacts, handoff_url and matched_vacancies. Use this when the seafarer comes back later and asks about the draft or the matched vacancies. An unknown or expired token returns an error; then create a new draft. Do not use for signing in or for entering the email code: the seafarer does that on krew.guru.
seafarer
create_seafarer_profile_draft
Turn a seafarer CV (plain text the seafarer pasted or shared: sea service records, ranks, vessels, certificates) into a Krew Guru profile draft. Sends a sign-in code and link to the email in the CV (or to the email argument if the CV has none); the seafarer opens the email and enters the code on krew.guru to save the profile; no tool accepts that code. Returns the same result as the Krew Guru website: status (verification_sent, email_required, not_a_cv), masked email, handoff_url for the seafarer, up to 5 matched_vacancies, user_message and next_actions. Contacts and document numbers are not returned. If status is email_required, ask the seafarer for an email and call again with the same text and the email argument. Drafts expire after 24 hours. The seafarer's name is saved in English letters, as in the passport: if the CV writes the name in another script, transliterate it and add the passport spelling to raw_cv_text. Limit: 6 CVs per 10 minutes. Use this when the seafarer asks to create or update a Krew Guru profile from a CV or to find jobs matching a CV. Do not use for CVs of other people without their consent, for non-maritime CVs, or for employer or vacancy data.

Krew Guru — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Krew Guru do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_seafarer_profile_draft, get_maritime_job, get_profile_draft_status, search_maritime_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 Krew Guru 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 223 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Krew Guru?
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 Krew Guru need an API key?
No. Krew Guru 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 Krew Guru?
It answers our handshake in 223 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
