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 Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- 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
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2026 tokens (~184/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 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 Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage87
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 62% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the jobctl MCP server?
jobctl is a hosted endpoint at https://app.jobctl.app/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 →
add_application Add application ~446
Track a new job application. Pass either a single `raw` line — `add_application({raw: "Bosch, Tech Lead, prio A, due friday, remote, via LinkedIn"})` — or structured fields (`company` and `role` required then). Returns the created application and possible-duplicate warnings; if duplicates are listed, tell the user instead of creating again.

add_note Add note ~85
Append a free-text note to an application timeline — recruiter call summaries, interview instructions, pasted messages. Multiline markdown is fine. Example: `add_note({application_id: "…", text: "Recruiter: team of 5, on-call rotation, offer range 85-95k"})`.

attach_analysis Attach company analysis ~108
Attach a markdown company analysis (research you produced) to an application. Single document per application — a new call REPLACES the previous one. Max 100000 bytes (~100 KB) of utf-8. The user reads it in the dashboard, e.g. before an interview. Example: `attach_analysis({application_id: "…", markdown: "# Bosch\n\n## Culture…"})`.

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
attach_file Attach CV or cover letter ~207
Attach or replace a file on an application so the user sees it in the dashboard: a CV/resume (kind: 'cv') or a cover letter (kind: 'cover_letter'). Pass the file bytes as base64 in data_base64. One file per (application, kind) - a new call REPLACES the previous one. Max ~5 MB; pdf/doc/docx/txt/md (MIME is inferred from the filename if you omit it). Call this whenever you generate a tailored CV or cover letter for an application. Example: `attach_file({application_id: "…", kind: "cv", filename: "CV_Cursor.pdf", data_base64: "JVBERi0…"})`.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

Max 3 files per interview, 20000000 bytes (20 MB) each; pass the bytes as base64. Get interview ids from get_application. Example: `attach_interview_file({application_id: "…", interview_id: "…", filename: "prep-round2.md", data_base64: "IyBQcmVw…"})`.

What is actually SCHEDULED: interviews with their time, attendees and meeting links, plus the actions falling due, for today, tomorrow, or the next seven days. Use this whenever the user asks what is planned, what the day or week looks like, or before proposing a time to anyone — get_due only knows action deadlines and is blind to booked interviews.

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| priority | string | – | – |
| q | string | – | Search in company/role |

Also keeps the application's next-interview date in sync. Example: `log_interview({application_id: "…", scheduled_at: "2026-07-20T14:00:00+02:00", status: "planned", attendees: [{name: "Anna Weber (HR)", url: "https://linkedin.com/in/annaweber"}], links: [{label: "Prep materials", url: "https://company.com/interview-prep"}], recap: "System design round"})`.

What is the jobctl MCP server?
jobctl is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.DmytroRybka/jobctl. Job application tracker for developers - AI agents write over MCP, you review in a dashboard. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://app.jobctl.app/mcp).
Is the jobctl MCP server safe to use?
jobctl scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the jobctl MCP server expose?
jobctl exposes 11 tools: add_application, list_applications, update_application, add_note, log_interview, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,026 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the jobctl MCP server require authentication?
Yes. jobctl asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the jobctl MCP server still maintained?
jobctl is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
