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 →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists. View diagnostics → Unverified
- 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 Usability79
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1879 tokens (~170/item across 11 items; 10 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management20
- Stability observed for 6 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

express_interest Record interest in a role ~201
Record a candidate's interest in one live role (with their consent) and get back the canonical apply info. This does NOT submit an application anywhere: apply.kind 'onsite' means the candidate applies on the returned job url; 'external' means the url hands off to the company's own careers page. A candidate not yet in the a16z speedrun talent network is also added as a partial profile (relay the returned finish_url so they can add a resume). Idempotent per candidate; safe to retry.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent_client_id | string | — | Identifier for the calling agent/integration. Attribution only. |
| string | yes | Candidate's email address. | |
| full_name | string | — | Candidate's full name. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job UUID, 8-hex id prefix, or canonical job slug (same ids as get_job/search_jobs). |
| linkedin_url | string | — | LinkedIn profile URL. Optional but strongly recommended. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_collection Get a collection with ranked members ~117
Fetch one published collection by slug with its ranked member companies: name, tier, cohort, open-role count, location, stage, investors, and which functions/cities they're hiring in. Members are paginated (100 per page). Follow up with get_company or search_jobs (company filter) for a specific member's roles.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | integer | — | 0-based member page, 100 per page. |
| slug | string | yes | Collection slug from list_collections, e.g. "ai-infra" or "new-york". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_company Get a hiring company ~103
Fetch one company profile by slug (from job.company_slug or a https://speedrun-talent-network.com/companies/... URL): name, portfolio tier, cohort, location, industries, one-line blurb, and every live open role with canonical urls. Use search_jobs or list_collections to discover companies; use this for the full picture of one employer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Company slug, e.g. "anthropic" in /companies/anthropic. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_hiring_stats Live hiring aggregates ~110
Aggregate hiring data across the whole board, recomputed live: open-role and hiring-company counts, demand mix by function, posted pay-band midpoints by function (p25/median/p75, annual USD), remote share, top hiring locations, and the speedrun vs a16z portfolio split. Use this to answer "what do a16z portfolio startups pay" or "how many startup jobs are open" — the human-readable version lives at https://speedrun-talent-network.com/network.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_job Get one job ~137
Fetch one role by id: a job UUID, the first 8 hex characters of one, or the canonical slug from a https://speedrun-talent-network.com/jobs/... URL. Returns the full posting: plain-text description, posted pay band, how to apply (apply.kind 'onsite' = the candidate applies right on the job url; 'external' = the url hands off to the company's own careers page), and the canonical url to send users to. Closed roles come back with status:'closed' rather than an error.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Job UUID, 8-hex id prefix, or canonical job slug. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_network_info About the talent network ~58
What the a16z speedrun talent network is, why a candidate would join, how joining works, and what happens after. Use this before pitching the network to a candidate so the description is accurate; joining itself is the join_network tool.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
join_network Join the talent network ~409
Add a candidate to the a16z speedrun talent network, with their consent. Requires full_name, email, and linkedin_url; every other field strengthens the profile. Idempotent: a candidate who is already in the network gets already_member (missing fields are filled in, nothing is overwritten) and it is always safe to retry. On success, relay the returned message and finish_url to the candidate so they can add a resume. Never call this without the candidate's explicit go-ahead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| accomplishments | string | — | The thing they are proudest of having built or shipped. |
| agent_client_id | string | — | Identifier for the calling agent/integration, e.g. "claude-code" or "career-ops". Used for attribution only. |

| region | string | — | Where they are based, e.g. "SF Bay Area" or "NYC". |
| work_arrangements | string | — | Work arrangements they are open to, comma-separated, e.g. "In person, Hybrid, Remote". |
| work_links | string | — | Links to work samples, comma-separated. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_collections List curated collections ~104
List the published curated collections of hiring companies, grouped as: pinned (portfolio tiers), industries (the 12-sector vocabulary, e.g. ai-infra, defense, fintech), hubs (cities + remote), investors, and signals (new-this-week, founding-roles, remote-first, hiring-in-volume). Each carries live company/role counts and a canonical url. Start here when a user asks "who's hiring in X" — then drill in with get_collection.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_companies List hiring companies ~71
List every portfolio company with at least one live open role, most open roles first (paginated, 100 per page). Prefer list_collections for browsing by industry/hub/signal; use this for a raw roster.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | integer | — | 0-based page, 100 companies per page. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_jobs Search open roles ~556
Search live open roles across the a16z speedrun talent network jobs board (speedrun portfolio + the wider a16z portfolio; data syncs continuously from each company's own job board). Full-text search plus facet filters, with live facet counts in every response — read the facets to discover valid filter values. Results are paginated (50 per page, 0-based page). Every job carries a canonical url on https://speedrun-talent-network.com; link users there to view or apply. By default results cover the portfolio only; pass scope='everywhere' to also include the wider startup universe when that scope is live (the response then reports beyond_portfolio, the count of extra matches past the portfolio boundary). Mirrors GET https://speedrun-talent-network.com/api/v1/jobs exactly.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cohort | string | — | speedrun cohort tag(s), comma-separated, e.g. SR007. |
| comp | integer | — | Minimum annual compensation in USD: matches roles whose posted pay band reaches this number. Only roles with posted comp match. |

| q | string | — | Free-text query over title, company, and location. Synonyms expand (ml, ai, swe, pm, gtm, nyc, sf, la). |
| remote | boolean | — | true = only roles open to remote candidates. |
| scope | string | — | 'everywhere' widens the search past the a16z portfolio into the broader startup universe. Server-gated: while that scope is dark this is inert. |
| sen | string | — | Seniority filter, comma-separated. Values: founding, exec, staff, senior, junior, intern. |
| sort | string | — | rel = relevance (default when q is set), new = newest first (default otherwise), comp = highest posted comp first. |
| stealth | string | — | 'only' = unannounced (stealth) roles only; 'hide' = exclude them. |
