What the code does

We read the source, 4 d ago · tools taken from the live server · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands cli/bin/magnificentjobs.mjs:207

function has(bin) { return spawnSync(platform() === "win32" ? "where" : "which", [bin], { stdio: "ignore" }).status === 0; }

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command cli/bin/magnificentjobs.mjs:207

function has(bin) { return spawnSync(platform() === "win32" ? "where" : "which", [bin], { stdio: "ignore" }).status === 0; }

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Magnificent Jobs and you get told the day something new turns up.

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.

cities

find_cities

Look up US cities that currently have jobs (prefix match), with job counts. Use when a city name is ambiguous or you need the exact spelling before search_jobs.

job

get_job

Full details for one job by slug: description, apply link, salary, skills, benefits, employer info.

jobs

search_jobs

Search live job postings in the United States (US only — no other countries) by meaning (embedding similarity against the postings). YOU write the expanded query — it is embedded as-is, with no server-side rewriting — so always send `query` in this shape: "<Full job title>. <One sentence of what the role does; 3-5 key skills/tools>." NO ABBREVIATIONS anywhere in the query — spell everything out (ML → machine learning, AI → artificial intelligence, RN → registered nurse, SWE → software engineer, QA → quality assurance, PM → product manager, CDL → commercial driver's license, EMT → emergency medical technician, etc.) and keep the user's qualifiers (seniority, shift, domain). Example: user says 'ML eng jobs' → query 'Machine Learning Engineer. Builds, trains and deploys machine learning models; Python, PyTorch, MLOps, data pipelines.' Optionally add `city` (results within radius_miles of that city, ranked by relevance) and/or `state`. Without a city, ranks across the state or nationwide. Returns job cards with a `url` to show the user; call get_job for details.

states

list_states

US states with the number of live jobs in each.

Magnificent Jobs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Magnificent Jobs do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_cities, get_job, list_states, 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 Magnificent Jobs working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 105 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Magnificent Jobs as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Magnificent 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 Magnificent Jobs need an API key?

No. Magnificent 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.

Is Magnificent Jobs open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at magnificentjobs.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
