MCP: Hiring-Signal Intel

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server wrapper for hiring-signal-intel. Gives AI agents direct, pay-per-call access to live job-postings intelligence and hiring-surge detection - no API token required when called over x402 / Skyfire.

What it is

A thin MCP server that exposes the hiring-signal engine as five typed tools an AI agent can call. Each tool runs the upstream hiring-signal-intel actor and reshapes the result into small, deterministic JSON (no megabyte JD blobs). Built for sales-intelligence copilots, RevOps agents, and recruiting bots.

Tools

Tool	What it does
get_company_jobs	Current open roles for a company by ATS slug (title, dept, location, remote, seniority, comp, tech stack, apply URL).
get_hiring_signals	Per-company hiring-signal rollup: net-new roles, role-count delta, department expansion, surge flag vs trailing baseline.
find_roles_by_tech	Open roles across companies whose JDs mention named software (Salesforce, Snowflake, ServiceTitan, ...).
get_new_roles	Roles net-new since this Task's last run for one company (delta feed) + the rollup.
detect_hiring_surges	Of a company list, returns only those surging (>= N net-new or >= X% growth), ranked. The premium B2B buying signal.

Run modes

• list_tools - emit the tool catalog (free, no charge) including the agentic-payment descriptor.
• call_tool - invoke one tool. Requires tool + args.
• batch - invoke up to 10 {tool, args} calls in one run.

{
  "mode": "call_tool",
  "tool": "detect_hiring_surges",
  "args": { "companies": ["stripe", "ramp", "notion"] }
}

Live example output

Real, unmodified output from runs of this MCP server (no login required to view):

• Tool catalog (list_tools): the five exposed tools with their JSON input schemas, plus the payments descriptor advertising the x402 / Skyfire rails. View the JSON
• Live tool call (call_tool -> get_company_jobs for Ramp): normalized open roles returned through the MCP envelope (ok, count, items, summary). View the JSON

Agentic payments (x402 + Skyfire)

This server is x402 (USDC on Base) and Skyfire ready. When the operator enables Apify MCP monetization, an AI agent can pay per tool call with no pre-provisioned API token. The list_tools response includes a payments descriptor advertising the accepted rails and per-call price. Operators enable rails via environment variables:

Env	Purpose
X402_ENABLED	1 to advertise x402 acceptance
X402_PAY_TO_ADDRESS	receiving wallet (USDC on Base)
X402_PRICE_USD	per-call price advertised (default 0.005)
SKYFIRE_ENABLED	1 to advertise Skyfire acceptance
SKYFIRE_SELLER_ID	Skyfire seller identity

Calls through Apify always bill via standard PPE (mcp_tool_call $0.005 + upstream pass-through); x402/Skyfire are the token-less rails layered on top for direct agents.

Pricing

Flat $0.005 per MCP tool call, plus the upstream hiring-signal-intel PPE pass-through (posting_record $0.002, tech_stack_signal $0.007, hiring_surge_flag $0.012) billed to the same run.

Responsible use / data scope

The upstream actor reads only logged-out, public ATS endpoints (a company's own careers feed) and minimizes PII. You are responsible for lawful use of the outputs. See the upstream actor's README for the full data-scope note.
