MCP Server
Use GigHQ Inside Claude
Connect your GigHQ job search data to Claude and manage your entire job search through natural conversation — no app switching required.
What Is the GigHQ MCP Server?
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 GigHQ account available as a live data source inside your AI conversations.
No copy-pasting. No context switching. Just natural conversation backed by your real data.
