What Is the GigHQ MCP Server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants like Claude securely connect to external tools and live data. No copy-pasting. No context switching. Just natural conversation backed by real-time application tracking, company research, and career journal records.

How It Works

This is not a standalone web app you open in a browser. It is a background connector that gives Claude direct, secure access to your GigHQ profile. You interact with it entirely through natural chat in your AI client.

What You Can Do

Interactive Conversations You Can Have

Track & Update Applications

Ask Claude to show your pipeline, log recruiter calls, update interview statuses, or withdraw interest without touching the app.

“I just had a recruiter screening with Stripe today — add a note and move my application to Interviewing.”

Surface Stale Applications

Identify silent applications that haven’t had a status update in weeks and get personalized follow-up recommendations.

“Which of my active job applications have gone quiet? Surface anything over 14 days old and give me follow-up action items.”

Analyze Opportunities & Fit

Run an instant skills gap analysis comparing your profile against saved job descriptions to frame gaps effectively.

“I saved a job at Stripe last week. Can you do a full skills gap analysis and tell me how to position the gaps in my resume?”

Guided Career Journaling

Have a guided chat about recent projects. The AI asks structured questions and logs entry achievements with quantified metrics.

“Let’s do a career journaling session about the project I completed this week, then save it with quantified metrics to my GigHQ profile.”

Research Companies & H1B Status

Query GigHQ’s database for H1B sponsorship records, hiring funnel benchmarks, and community signal insights.

“Does Databricks sponsor H1B visas? What is their community signal and hiring timeline?”

Get Weekly Search Summary

Aggregate your pipeline health, conversion rates, longest-open applications, and high-priority action items for the coming week.

“Give me a quick summary of my job search this week — where am I in the funnel and what should I focus on?”
