🤖 Job Market MCP Server — Indeed, Glassdoor, H1B Salary & Hiring Signals for AI Agents

Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI agent live access to job listings, salary data, H1B visa records, company reviews, and hiring-intent signals. Lets an AI assistant answer "what's the median salary for a Senior ML Engineer at OpenAI?" or "find me React job openings in Berlin posted this week" through natural-language tool calls — no API integration code required.

Why Job Market MCP Beats Indeed API, Glassdoor API, BLS Scraping & Generic LLM Tools

Feature	NexGenData Job Market MCP	Indeed API (deprecated)	Glassdoor API	BLS / DOL scraping	Generic LLM (no tools)
Cost	$0.002 / event, pay-per-event	Partner-only since 2023	Partner-only, sales call	Free but slow	Free (hallucinates)
MCP-native	Yes — tool discovery + JSON	No	No	No	No tools at all
Job listings	Indeed, Glassdoor	Limited partner feed	Glassdoor-only	None	None
Salary data	Glassdoor + H1B + scraped	No	Yes (partner-gated)	Aggregates only	Hallucinated
H1B visa records	Yes — DOL LCA database	No	No	Yes (manual)	No
Hiring signals	Yes — posting velocity	No	No	No	No
Fresh data	Live per call	Stale partner feed	Plan-gated	Quarterly	None
AI-agent integration	Native MCP — drop into Claude / Cursor	Build it yourself	Build it yourself	Build it yourself	N/A
Auth	Apify token	Partner approval	Partner approval	None	None

Most teams pick this MCP server because it is the only drop-in alternative to the now-shuttered Indeed Affiliate API for AI agents, cheaper than standing up your own scraping infra, and ships salary + H1B data that no general-purpose LLM has access to. Compared with running base Claude / GPT-4 without tools, accuracy on salary + job-availability questions jumps from "hallucinated" to "live database row."

Tools Exposed via MCP

The server exposes structured tools that any MCP client can discover and call:

• search_jobs(query, location, posted_within_days) — Indeed + Glassdoor listings
• salary_lookup(role, company, location) — Glassdoor + scraped + H1B median
• h1b_search(employer, year, role) — DOL LCA filings with salary
• company_reviews(company) — Glassdoor review distribution + recent themes
• hiring_velocity(company, role) — month-over-month posting count delta
• top_employers(role, location) — most-active employers for a role

Each tool returns JSON, with field names stable across calls so an agent can reason about a multi-step workflow ("first find top employers, then get their salary ranges, then check Glassdoor sentiment").

Use Cases

• Career-coach AI agents — answer "what's a fair offer for a Staff PM at Stripe in NYC?" with live salary + H1B median
• Recruiting copilots — Claude pulls candidate-relevant openings and ranks by salary band
• Compensation analysts — automate quarterly comp benchmarking without scraping Glassdoor manually
• Job-market dashboards — Cursor agent generates SQL + chart code from live data
• Immigration law tools — answer H1B prevailing-wage questions backed by DOL data
• Workforce-planning copilots — track hiring velocity at competitors month-over-month

Quick Start — Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "job-market": {
      "url": "https://nexgendata--job-market-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"}
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and the six tools above appear in the tool picker.

Quick Start — Cursor / Cline / Custom MCP Client

from mcp import ClientSession
async with ClientSession("https://nexgendata--job-market-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp",
                         auth_token="YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") as session:
    tools = await session.list_tools()
    result = await session.call_tool("salary_lookup", {
        "role": "Senior ML Engineer", "company": "OpenAI", "location": "San Francisco"
    })
    print(result)

Pricing — Pay Per Tool Call

• Actor start: $0.005
• Tool call result: $0.002

A typical chat session with ~20 tool calls costs $0.045. No monthly minimum.

FAQ

Q: Which MCP clients does this work with? A: Anything that speaks MCP 2024-11-05 — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Zed, and any custom MCP SDK client.

Q: Is data live or cached? A: Live — every tool call hits the underlying source. Job listings refresh every few minutes; H1B / Glassdoor data are as fresh as DOL / Glassdoor publish.

Q: Do I need a separate Indeed / Glassdoor API key? A: No. The server handles all upstream access through the underlying NexGenData actors — you only need an Apify token.

Q: Can I use this commercially? A: Yes. Output data is yours; respect each source's TOS for downstream redistribution.

Q: What if a tool returns no results? A: The agent sees an empty result set with a status field — Claude / Cursor reason about it naturally rather than hallucinating.

Q: Is there a rate limit? A: Apify proxy infra absorbs throttling; very large batches (1000+ tool calls in a minute) may queue briefly.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
