Jobmaps MCP: job and employer search

We built a public MCP server for job and employer search.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools directly. From now on, search jobs and companies on Jobmaps directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or ChatGPT. No login, no account, no API key.

What works: searching jobs with location filter, opening the listings, looking up companies, and creating saved searches with email alerts.

In Claude, go to Settings, Customize, Connectors, "Add custom connector". In Cursor and Windsurf, use the respective configuration file.

Get started: https://jobmaps.ch/search/mcp

To make the setup work:

• Claude: Custom connectors are available on all plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise). The Free plan allows one connector. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner first enables the connector, then members connect individually.

• ChatGPT: Custom MCP servers can be added in the web version. According to OpenAI, this is fully available on Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. On Pro, only read tools work, so you can search jobs and companies, but not create email alerts.

In Claude (desktop or web), this is done in the connector settings.

Step 1: Open Settings and choose "Customize"

Step 2: Go to "Connectors"

Step 3: Click "+ Add" in the top right and choose "Add custom connector"

Step 4: Enter a name, for example "Jobmaps Search", and the MCP URL: https://jobmaps.ch/search/mcp and click "Continue"

Step 5: Continue to authentication. "No sign-in" is already selected, leave it like this (Claude detects that no login is needed). Click Add.

Claude then recognises the Jobmaps tools, and you can ask about jobs and companies directly in the chat (as of 11.11.2026).

You can add the public MCP server to ChatGPT as a custom plugin.

Step 1: Open chatgpt.com/plugins (or choose "Plugins" in the left sidebar)

Step 2: Click the Add button and choose "Add custom MCP server"

Step 3: Enter a name, for example "Jobmaps Search"

Step 4: Under "Connection", enter the server URL: https://jobmaps.ch/search/mcp

Step 5: For authentication, choose "No authentication"

Step 6: Confirm the risk warning with "I understand and want to continue"

Step 7: Click "Create as a plugin"

Step 8: In the "Connect Jobmaps Search" window, click "Connect Jobmaps Search"

In the chat, type "@" and select Jobmaps Search. ChatGPT asks for your confirmation before it creates an email alert (as of 11.11.2026).

You can search not only for open jobs but also for companies. Examples:

• Find me data analyst jobs in Zurich.

• Which companies in Basel work in medtech?

• Show me open jobs at this company.

• Create an email alert for new marketing jobs in Bern.

Job search supports keywords, roles, skills, companies and locations. The location filter narrows results by city and radius. Company search is especially useful when you're not looking for a specific job yet but want to find suitable employers, for example for unsolicited applications, an overview of the market, or preparing an application.

The MCP search now does more than filter by location. You can also filter jobs by employment type (full-time, part-time, temporary, apprenticeship), work model (on-site, hybrid, remote) and career level (from entry level to management). The filters match the search on jobmaps.ch and work in natural language: "part-time marketing jobs in Lucerne, hybrid" is enough.

Claude can do more than answer: it can show the results as an interactive artifact, a small app right next to the chat. This lets you build a dashboard of matching jobs and employers in one step. For example, copy this prompt:

Search Jobmaps for the latest nursing jobs within 25 km of Winterthur and the matching employers. Build an interactive dashboard as an artifact: a filterable table with title, company, location, workload and link, plus a short overview of the employers with their number of open positions. I want to filter by keyword and location.

Claude then calls the Jobmaps tools, collects jobs and companies, and renders an artifact with search and filter fields. You can refine it at any time, for example "only jobs from 80 percent" or "group by employer".

• If the Jobmaps tools aren't recognised, restarting the app usually helps. Also check that the URL is exactly https://jobmaps.ch/search/mcp.

• In ChatGPT: check that the plugin is installed under "Plugins" and selected in the chat with "@Jobmaps Search".

• If Claude asks you to sign in, choose "No sign-in". In ChatGPT, choose "No authentication".

The Jobmaps MCP is public. Searching requires no login, no account and no API key.

Even so, ChatGPT shows a risk warning when you add a custom MCP server. That makes sense: MCP servers give an AI assistant additional tools, so you should only connect MCPs you trust. The Jobmaps MCP has a clearly limited scope: searching jobs, searching companies, opening job ads and, on request, creating saved searches with email alerts. Applications still go through jobmaps.ch.

What happens to your email address?

You don't share any personal data to search for jobs and companies. The Jobmaps MCP only needs your email address when you create an email alert.

• What for: We use the address only to send you new matching jobs. We don't share it with employers or other third parties, and we don't use it for advertising.

• What we store: your email address and the alert's search criteria (e.g. keyword, location, radius, filters or company).

• Sending: We send the emails through SendGrid (Twilio Inc., USA). SendGrid receives your email address and the content of the notification.

• When it starts: The alert is active immediately. There is no separate confirmation email.

• Unsubscribing: Every notification contains a link to change or unsubscribe from the alert. After unsubscribing, you won't receive any more notifications.

• Deletion: If you want us to delete your email address completely, write to datenschutz@jobmaps.ch.

• Logs: We log search terms and filters to improve the service. Your email address is not included.

We're not sure exactly where this goes. We find it exciting, we're trying it out, and we'd love to hear from you.
