Contextual AI Search in Real-Time
Watch how GigHQ MCP Server turns natural language prompts into live pipeline updates and deep company intelligence.
What is the Model Context Protocol?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT securely connect to external tools and data.
The GigHQ MCP Server makes your personal GigHQ account available as a live, secure data source inside your AI conversations. No copy-pasting required.
Zero Credential Sharing
OAuth 2.0 authentication protects your account. Your password is never shared with your AI assistant.
Live Data Sync
Changes made during your chat sessions update your GigHQ pipeline immediately in real-time.
Structured Intelligence
Extract interview insights, skills gaps, and visa sponsorship history through natural conversation.
Powerful AI Workflows
Try these ready-to-use prompts with your AI assistant once the GigHQ MCP Server is connected.
Job Application Tracking
Ask your AI to show recent applications, find specific companies, flag stale follow-ups, or log a new application without leaving your chat.
"Show me everything I have in progress and flag anything I haven't touched in two weeks."
Skills Gap Analysis
Save a job description in GigHQ, then ask your AI to run a structured skills gap analysis to surface match strengths and cover letter talking points.
"Do a skills gap analysis for the Stripe role I saved last week."
Company & Visa Intelligence
Look up hiring trends, applicant volume, time-to-decision metrics, and historical H1B sponsorship records for any employer.
"Does Airbnb sponsor H1B visas? And how long does their interview process typically take?"
Weekly Job Search Summary
Get a plain-language health check on your pipeline: stage conversion rates, longest-open roles, and suggested focus areas for the week ahead.
"Give me a summary of my job search this week."
Career Journal & Milestones
Log achievements, project milestones, and tech wins as they happen so raw material is ready whenever you write a resume or cover letter.
"Add an entry to my career journal: I led the migration to the new billing system, cut support tickets by 30%."
Guided Reflection Prompts
Request guided prompts from your AI assistant to help you reflect on your work and surface achievements you might have overlooked.
"Give me 3 guided journal prompts to reflect on my wins at work this week."

Yes. The MCP server connects to your personal GigHQ data, so you need an account to use the authenticated tools. Company search and H1B lookup are available without authentication.
When you ask your AI a question, the relevant data from GigHQ is included in that conversation. Your data is handled according to your AI assistant's privacy policy. GigHQ never sends your data proactively.
Currently Claude (via claude.ai and Claude desktop app) and ChatGPT (via chatgpt.com and the ChatGPT desktop app). Any MCP-compatible client that supports Streamable HTTP transport will work.
