## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-16.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 47 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1109 tokens (~221/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 87/100
  - Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 91/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 70% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the io.github.smeet666/mcp-ashby server?

io.github.smeet666/mcp-ashby ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. The MCP registry declares no SHA-256 for this bundle, so there is no published digest to check the download against.

## MCP tools (5)

### `resolve_board` (~78 tokens)

Resolve company names to Ashby boards

Turn a company name into the token that addresses its Ashby job board, and report every form that answered. search_jobs does this on its own, so call this when a name returns nothing and you want to see the spellings that were tried.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): A company name, or an Ashby board token you already know.

Output parameters:

- `found` (array)
- `input` (string)
- `notes` (array)
- `tried` (array): The forms actually sent, in order.

### `search_jobs` (~339 tokens)

Search postings at named companies

Search the open postings of named companies on Ashby. Ashby publishes no index across its customers, so companies are required. Every filter runs here rather than at the source, and the answer reports how many postings declared nothing about a field it filtered on. Rows carry no description: read one posting with get_job.

Input parameters:

- `companies` (array, required): Company names or board tokens, one to 10. Each costs a request and a whole board, which is why 5 at a time is the comfortable number.
- `country`
- `currency` (string): A three-letter currency code, as in EUR or USD.
- `department`
- `employment_type`
- `has_compensation` (boolean): Keeps only postings whose company publishes a pay range.
- `is_remote` (boolean): Keeps only postings that declare it. Postings recording nothing are counted in undeclared rather than treated as on site.
- `limit` (integer): How many postings to return.
- `location_contains` (string): Part of a location line.
- `offset` (integer): How many postings to skip.
- `published_after` (string): An ISO 8601 date.
- `query` (string): Words to look for.
- `salary_interval` (string): The period salary_min belongs to, 1 YEAR unless named. An hourly amount is never weighed against a yearly floor.
- `salary_min` (number): A floor for the salary component.
- `search_in` (string): Where query is looked for. Descriptions run to thousands of characters each.
- `sort` (string)
- `team`
- `workplace_type`

Output parameters:

- `filters_applied` (object)
- `jobs` (array): No descriptions, at any limit.
- `notes` (array)
- `per_company` (array)
- `returned` (integer): Postings in this answer, after limit and offset.
- `total_matched` (integer): Postings the criteria kept.
- `total_on_board` (integer): Postings the boards read hold, all of them.
- `undeclared` (object): Postings a criterion could say nothing about, counted per field. A posting that records no workplace is not a posting on site.

### `get_job` (~113 tokens)

Read one posting

Read one Ashby posting in full: its locations, its description and the pay ranges its company published. Ashby addresses a posting by board and identifier, both of which search_jobs returns.

Input parameters:

- `board` (string, required): A company name, or an Ashby board token.
- `description` (string): The description runs to thousands of characters. html is the company's own markup, unrewritten.
- `include_compensation` (boolean)
- `job_id` (string, required): The identifier search_jobs returned for this posting.

Output parameters:

- `apply_url` (string)
- `board` (string)
- `compensation`: Null when the caller asked for no compensation, which states nothing about the company.
- `compensation_summary`: Null when the company withholds its pay ranges, which is never zero.
- `department` (string)
- `description`: Null when the caller asked for no description.
- `employment_type` (string)
- `id` (string)
- `is_listed` (boolean): False marks a posting Ashby serves by direct link alone rather than on the board.
- `is_remote`
- `job_url` (string)
- `location` (object)
- `notes` (array)
- `published_at` (string): ISO 8601 with the offset Ashby publishes.
- `secondary_locations` (array)
- `source` (object)
- `team` (string)
- `title` (string)
- `workplace_type`: Null when the company records none, which is never the same as on site.

### `list_filter_values` (~79 tokens)

List a board's filter wordings

List the words one Ashby board actually uses, with how many postings carry each, and how many declare nothing. Every board keeps its own departments and teams, so a filter written from another board's vocabulary narrows to nothing.

Input parameters:

- `board` (string, required): A company name, or an Ashby board token.
- `facet` (string)

Output parameters:

- `board` (string)
- `facets` (object)
- `notes` (array)
- `sibling_spellings` (array): Spellings on this board that name what looks like one place, so a caller asks for both rather than picking one.
- `total_jobs` (integer)
- `undeclared` (object): Postings a criterion could say nothing about, counted per field. A posting that records no workplace is not a posting on site.

### `compare_compensation` (~193 tokens)

Compare published pay on one board

Put the pay ranges of one Ashby board side by side, one component at a time and one period at a time. Nothing is converted between currencies, summed across components or averaged: a third of the postings publish no range at all, and they are named rather than dropped.

Input parameters:

- `board` (string, required): A company name, or an Ashby board token.
- `component` (string): One component at a time: a share of capital and a salary do not add up.
- `department`
- `interval` (string): The period compared, 1 YEAR unless named. Postings on another period are listed apart, unconverted.
- `job_ids` (array): A list of posting identifiers search_jobs returned, one to 50 of them.
- `limit` (integer): How many postings to compare.
- `query` (string): Words to look for in the titles.
- `team`

Output parameters:

- `board` (string)
- `component` (string)
- `currencies_present` (array): Named, because rows in different currencies do not rank against each other.
- `interval` (string)
- `not_published` (array): Postings whose company publishes no range, named rather than dropped.
- `notes` (array)
- `other_intervals` (array): Postings on another period, left unconverted.
- `rows` (array)
