Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 718 tokens (~89/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage93
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 75% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (25% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the JobYap Job Search MCP server?
JobYap Job Search is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.jobyap.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
fetch Fetch JobYap document (deep research) ~59
Retrieve the full JobYap document for a search result id: the complete posting as markdown (description, salary, locations, apply link) plus top community comments, with a citable URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | A result id returned by search. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | – |
| metadata | object | yes | – |
| text | string | yes | – |
| title | string | yes | – |
| url | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_job Get job details ~83
Fetch one job posting in full: markdown description, salary ranges, locations with work mode, derived employment types, apply URL, posting dates and the canonical JobYap discussion URL. Works for expired jobs too (apply_url is null once inactive).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | – | yes | Numeric JobYap job id, a full jobyap.com job URL, or a job page slug. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_job_comments Get job discussion ~69
Fetch the community discussion thread for a job: chronological, threaded via parent_id, with like counts. Comments are user-generated content. Threads stay open after a job expires.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | – | yes | Numeric JobYap job id, a full jobyap.com job URL, or a job page slug. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_job_stats JobYap stats ~25
Aggregate stats: companies tracked, active job count, and the newest posting date.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_companies List companies ~39
List every company JobYap tracks with its active job count and JobYap company-page URL. Use the exact names as search_jobs company filters.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search Search JobYap (deep research) ~71
Search JobYap job postings by natural-language query. Matches job titles, falling back to significant keywords when the full phrase finds little. Returns result ids, titles and citable URLs for use with fetch. For structured filtering (location, company, remote, freshness) prefer search_jobs.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| results | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_jobs Search jobs ~261
Search JobYap's aggregated job postings with structured filters. The text query matches job titles only (case-insensitive substring) — try synonyms or shorter tokens when results are thin. Company names must exactly match values from list_companies; locations must be identifiers from search_locations. work_mode matches jobs explicitly marked remote or hybrid (unmarked means unstated, not onsite). Results are active listings, newest first by default; sort=popular ranks by discussion activity. To paginate, pass next_cursor back as cursor and keep every other argument identical.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| companies | array | – | Exact company names from list_companies. |
| cursor | string | – | Opaque cursor from a previous next_cursor. |
| has_comments | boolean | – | Only jobs with community discussion. |
| include_total | boolean | – | Also compute the total match count (slower). |
| locations | array | – | Location identifiers from search_locations, e.g. city-US-CA-san_francisco. |
| page_size | integer | – | – |
| posted_within | string | – | Hard freshness filter on the publish date. |
| query | string | – | Substring matched against job titles only. |
| sort | string | – | recent (default) or popular (most discussed). |
| work_mode | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_locations Search locations ~111
Resolve a free-text place name ("bay area", "Germany", "berlin") to the location identifiers search_jobs accepts (country-XX, state-XX-YY, city-XX-YY-name). Searches every place JobYap knows, not only those with current openings, so an identifier may match no jobs. City display omits the state, and the list can be shorter than limit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | yes | Place name fragment, minimum 2 characters. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
