FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Jobko MCP API.

General

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. Jobko implements MCP so AI agents like OpenClaw and Claude Desktop can access job matching features.

Do I need to use MCP?

No. You can use our REST API with any HTTP client. MCP is optional but provides a better experience with compatible AI assistants.

Which AI assistants work with Jobko?

  • OpenClaw (native MCP)
  • Claude Desktop (native MCP)
  • LangChain agents (via REST)
  • n8n workflows (via REST)
  • Any HTTP client (via REST)

Authentication

Where do I get an API key?

  1. Log in to jobko.ai/dashboard
  2. Go to the Integrations tab
  3. Click Create API Key

Can I have multiple API keys?

Yes. Create separate keys for different applications so you can revoke access individually.

Do API keys expire?

No, keys don't expire automatically. You can revoke them manually at any time.

Is there a free trial?

Tools

Why did my job analysis fail?

Common reasons:

  1. URL not accessible: The job posting may have been removed
  2. Unsupported site: Some sites block scraping
  3. No profile: User needs to set up their profile first

Try using job_description instead of job_url if the URL doesn't work.

How accurate is the match score?

The match score considers:

  • Skills match (weighted by level)
  • Experience requirements
  • Location compatibility
  • Salary alignment
  • Work mode preferences

It's a helpful signal but not definitive - always read the job posting yourself.

Can I analyze the same job twice?

Yes, but it will cost credits each time. Consider caching results on your end.

CV download URLs expire after 24 hours. Generate a new CV if the link expires.

Technical

What's the API request size limit?

100KB per request. This is plenty for job descriptions.

Is there a sandbox/test environment?

No separate sandbox, but new accounts get free trial credits for testing.

Do you have SDKs?

Not yet, but the REST API is simple to use directly. See our integration guides.

Is the API available in my region?

The API is globally available with servers in the US and EU.

Security

Is my data secure?

  • All connections use HTTPS/TLS
  • API keys are hashed (we can't see them)
  • We don't share your data with third parties
  • SOC 2 compliance in progress

Can I use the API in production?

Yes, the API is production-ready with SLA guarantees for enterprise customers.
