mcpfor.work

Open-source, MCP-first job-search copilot — any sector, any country. Self-hostable for free; hosted at a flat $5/mo.

Status: pre-alpha. Self-host works end-to-end (profile → hunt → briefs → supervised apply); hosted is not launched yet.

Quickstart (self-host, zero account)

uvx --from mcpforwork mcpforwork init     # creates ~/.mcpforwork/mcpforwork.db

Add the connector to Claude Code / Desktop (.mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "mcpforwork": { "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["--from", "mcpforwork", "mcpforwork-mcp"] } } }

Then, in your client: /setup (build your profile, < 3 min) → /hunt (browser-verified job-portal searches; UK, Spain, US, DE + remote boards) → /review → /apply (honest drafts + coverage check; you click Submit — the copilot never auto-submits). Zero server-side LLM calls, ever.

What makes it different

• The LLM is the client. All intelligence runs inside your own Claude or ChatGPT/Codex subscription connected to this MCP server. We never make server-side LLM calls, so the hosted plan is infrastructure, not token resale.
• Graduated autonomy, consent-based. Default is supervised: the copilot prepares, you review and submit. Autopilot is explicit opt-in, policy-governed, and only ever runs in your own browser session.
• Open-core. The full product self-hosts on SQLite with no account. Hosted adds convenience: remote MCP connector, web dashboard, sync, backups.
• Never fabricate. Generation briefs carry a facts inventory — drafts may only claim what your profile proves.
• Sector- and country-agnostic by data. Job-site knowledge ships as versioned, community-contributable packs, not code releases.
• You own your data. Export and delete built in.

Architecture

Pragmatic hexagonal (ports & adapters) over a modular monolith. The full product specification lives in docs/PRODUCT_PLAN.md; contributor rules in AGENTS.md.
