Available tools 1

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

jobs

search_jobs

Use this tool whenever the user asks to find, browse, view, recommend, or search for jobs, roles, openings, gigs, internships, or job listings. It only shows jobs that are within the United States or Canada. Guidelines: - Do not provide fields unless the user explicitly provides them. - The tool provides the search results all in one list, so if the user intends to search for multiple job roles, it may be better to invoke the tool for each job role separately. - If the user has not provided a location and is not asking for remote jobs, ask the user for a location before calling this tool. If you call without a location, results will default to a United States-wide search and the user will be warned. Notes: - When provided radius_miles, jobs will be included in the result if their location's boundaries approximately fall within radius miles of the requested location's boundaries. - If a salary range is provided, a job will be included in the results if the job's salary range overlaps with the requested salary range.

Ziprecruiter — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ziprecruiter do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: 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 Ziprecruiter 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 226 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Ziprecruiter?

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 Ziprecruiter need an API key?

No. Ziprecruiter completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Ziprecruiter?

It answers our handshake in 226 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
