Claude Desktop Integration

Connect Jobko to Claude Desktop for native MCP support.

Prerequisites

Setup

1. Open Claude Desktop Settings

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Go to Settings → Developer → MCP Servers
  3. Click Edit Config

2. Add Jobko Configuration

Add this to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jobko": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://jobko.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer jk_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace jk_YOUR_KEY

Use your actual API key from jobko.ai/dashboard#agent

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

4. Verify Connection

In Claude Desktop, you should now see Jobko tools available. Try asking:

"What Jobko tools do I have access to?"

Usage Examples

Analyze a Job Posting

"Can you analyze this job for me? https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/123456"

Claude will use the analyze_job tool and provide:

  • Match score
  • Matching skills
  • Missing skills
  • Red flags
  • Honest assessment

Check Your Profile

"What does my Jobko profile say about my skills?"

Generate a CV

"Generate a CV for the Senior Developer job I analyzed earlier"

Check Credits

"How many Jobko credits do I have left?"
