## MCP tools (4)

### `search_open_to_work` (~392 tokens)

Search FreeCV's LIVE index of real people who are open to work — by skills, role/title, location, and recruiter facets (work type, employment type, visa sponsorship, languages, minimum experience). Returns lean candidate cards (name, current role @ company, location, top skills, languages, and the full availability preferences) plus each person's cv.json URL and portfolio URL — enough to shortlist WITHOUT a fetch_cv per candidate. Call fetch_cv on a result to read the complete structured CV. Only already-public profiles are indexed; contact details are never returned (reach candidates via their portfolio).

Input parameters:

- `employmentType` (array): Only candidates open to one of these employment types.
- `languages` (array): Languages the candidate must speak, e.g. ["German","Arabic"].
- `limit` (integer): Max results per page (default 20).
- `location` (string): Country-aware location filter, e.g. "UK" (matches London/Manchester), "Berlin", "Gaza".
- `minYearsExp` (integer): Minimum years of experience.
- `offset` (integer): Result offset for paging through a large shortlist (default 0). Use with `total` in the response.
- `query` (string): Free-text query matched across name, title, skills and experience (e.g. "senior react developer").
- `skills` (array): Specific skills to match, e.g. ["React","TypeScript"].
- `sort` (string): Ranking: best match (default), most recently updated, or most experienced.
- `sponsorship` (boolean): Filter by visa-sponsorship need: false = does NOT need sponsorship, true = needs it. Candidates who never answered are excluded from this filter.
- `title` (string): Target role/title, e.g. "Product Designer".
- `workType` (array): Only candidates who OFFER one of these work arrangements.

### `fetch_cv` (~94 tokens)

Fetch a person's cv.json — their full machine-readable CV — by slug or livelink.cv URL. Returns structured JSON: basics, work, education, skills, languages, availability, ats, verification, i18n.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string): The slug, e.g. "ashley" (from livelink.cv/ashley).
- `url` (string): Full cv.json URL (alternative to slug).

### `validate_cv` (~96 tokens)

Validate a cv.json document against the official cv.json schema. Provide the document (cvjson: object or JSON string) OR a slug/url to fetch and validate. Returns { valid, errors[] }.

Input parameters:

- `cvjson`: The cv.json document to validate (object or JSON string).
- `slug` (string): Fetch and validate this slug's live cv.json.
- `url` (string): Fetch and validate this cv.json URL.

### `get_cvjson_schema` (~34 tokens)

Return the official cv.json JSON Schema (the format spec) — use it to understand or generate a compliant cv.json.
