Go to [Adzuna Developer Portal](https://developer.adzuna.com/) 2. Sign up for a free account 3. Create a new application 4. Copy your **App ID** and **App Key** ## Installation ### Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended) ```bash pip install adzuna-mcp ``` Or use `uvx` for isolated execution: ```bash uvx adzuna-mcp ``` ### Option 2: Install from Source ```bash git clone https://github.com/folarinakinloye/adzuna-mcp.git cd adzuna-mcp pip install -e . ``` ### Option 3: Development Setup ```bash git clone https://github.com/folarinakinloye/adzuna-mcp.git cd adzuna-mcp python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate pip install -e ".[dev]" ``` ### Configure Environment Variables Create a `.env` file with your Adzuna credentials: ``` ADZUNA_APP_ID=your_app_id_here ADZUNA_APP_KEY=your_app_key_here ``` ## Usage ### With Claude Desktop Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file: **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "adzuna-jobs": { "command": "/path/to/adzuna-mcp/venv/bin/python", "args": ["/path/to/adzuna-mcp/server.py"], "env": { "ADZUNA_APP_ID": "your_app_id", "ADZUNA_APP_KEY": "your_app_key" } } } } ``` Restart Claude Desktop after updating the configuration. ### With Cursor Add to your Cursor MCP settings (`.cursor/mcp.json` in your project or global config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "adzuna-jobs": { "command": "/path/to/adzuna-mcp/venv/bin/python", "args": ["/path/to/adzuna-mcp/server.py"], "env": { "ADZUNA_APP_ID": "your_app_id", "ADZUNA_APP_KEY": "your_app_key" } } } } ``` ### With Other MCP Clients Run the server directly: ```bash # Activate virtual environment source venv/bin/activate # Run with stdio transport (default) python server.py # Or use FastMCP CLI fastmcp run server.py:mcp ``` ### Development Mode FastMCP provides a dev mode with an interactive inspector: ```bash fastmcp dev server.py ``` This opens a browser-based UI to test your tools. ## Example Prompts Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant: **Job Search:** - "Find software engineer jobs in London paying over £60,000" - "Search for remote Python developer positions in the US" - "Show me data science jobs in Germany" **Salary Research:** - "What's the typical salary for a machine learning engineer in the UK?" - "Compare software engineer salaries between London and Manchester" - "How have data scientist salaries changed over the past year?" **Company Research:** - "Which companies are hiring the most software engineers in London?" - "Show me the top employers for finance jobs in New York" ## Tool Details ### search_jobs Search for jobs with comprehensive filtering: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code (e.g., "gb", "us") - keywords: Search terms (e.g., "python developer") - location: City, region, or postal code - page: Page number (starts at 1) - results_per_page: Results per page (max 50) - salary_min/salary_max: Annual salary filter - full_time/part_time/contract/permanent: Job type filters - category: Category tag from get_categories - sort_by: "date", "salary", or "relevance" - max_days_old: Maximum listing age in days ``` ### get_categories Get valid category tags before searching: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code Returns category tags like "it-jobs", "engineering-jobs", "finance-jobs" ``` ### get_salary_histogram Understand salary distribution: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code - keywords: Filter by job type - location: Filter by location - category: Filter by category ``` ### get_top_companies Find major employers: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code - keywords: Filter by job type - location: Filter by location - category: Filter by category ``` ### get_geodata Compare salaries across regions: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code - keywords: Filter by job type - location: Focus on sub-regions - category: Filter by category ``` ### get_salary_history Analyze salary trends: ``` Parameters: - country (required): Country code - keywords: Filter by job type - location: Filter by location - category: Filter by category - months: Months of history (default 12, max ~24) ``` ## Important Notes - **Salaries are annual amounts** in the local currency of the selected country - **Call `get_categories` first** to get valid category tags for your country - **Many jobs don't list salaries** - salary filters will exclude these jobs - **Rate limits apply** - the Adzuna API has usage limits on free tier ## Project Structure ``` adzuna-mcp/ ├── server.py # Main MCP server ├── pyproject.toml # Package configuration ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├── .env.example # Environment template ├── .env # Your credentials (gitignored) ├── tests/ # Test suite │ ├── __init__.py │ └── test_server.py ├── .github/ │ └── workflows/ │ ├── ci.yml # CI pipeline │ └── publish.yml # PyPI publishing ├── CONTRIBUTING.md # Contribution guide ├── LICENSE ├── .gitignore └── README.md ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Server not appearing in Claude Desktop 1. Check the Python path is correct in your config 2. Ensure the virtual environment has all dependencies installed 3. Restart Claude Desktop completely (Cmd+Q / Alt+F4) 4. Check Claude Desktop logs: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log` ### Authentication errors 1. Verify your API credentials at [Adzuna Developer Portal](https://developer.adzuna.com/) 2. Check the `.env` file has correct values 3. Ensure environment variables are passed in the MCP config ### No results returned 1. Try broader search terms 2. Check the country code is valid 3. Remove salary filters (many jobs don't list salaries) 4. Verify the category tag is valid for that country ## Contributing Contributions are welcome!
