jd-intel

Stop pasting job descriptions into AI assistants. Let your AI fetch them directly.

Full text. Clean structure. Across every major ATS. No copy-paste. No context loss.

Why this exists

Your AI assistant already knows a lot about you. Your resume is in its memory. Your target roles, your past projects, your background. Ready to help the moment you feed it a job description.

So you copy-paste.

A JD from one company. Another from the next. A half-dozen more from your target list. Half have broken HTML. Salary info dies in translation. Links get stripped. And for every role, the dance starts over.

You could wait for the job boards to ship their own MCPs. They'll get there eventually. On their timeline. Filtered through their priorities, not yours. Tied to their query abstractions.

jd-intel skips that wait. Raw JDs, fetched directly by your AI, on your terms. One level below the curated layer.

"Pull that role I bookmarked and draft a cover letter based on my resume."

Done.

---

What you can do with it

• Draft cover letters without pasting anything
• Tailor your resume across ten roles in one conversation
• Rank openings by fit with your background
• Scan a whole sector: "Pull open roles at fintech companies posted this week"
• Research teams by reading their JDs in bulk

The toolkit fetches. Your AI thinks.

Install

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf users

Add to your MCP config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jd-intel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "jd-intel-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart your AI client. The tools appear automatically. Ask your AI to fetch any role.

One-command install (avoids hand-editing the config):

npx jd-intel-mcp install

For developers (CLI and library)

npm install jd-intel

Or run without installing:

npx jd-intel fetch <company-slug> --title-filter "engineer" --posted-within-days 14

Or import as a library:

import { fetchJobs, registry } from 'jd-intel';

const jobs = await fetchJobs({
  company: '<your-target-company>',
  titleFilter: 'designer',
  postedWithinDays: 14,
  limit: 50,
});

Node.js 18+. No API keys. No configuration.

MCP tools

Tool	Purpose
fetch_jobs	Get open roles at a company with filters for role type, topic, location, and recency
search_registry	Find companies by name or sector
detect_ats	Identify which ATS platform a company uses

Plus one Resource: registry://jd-intel/all. Full company registry, grouped by ATS. Fetched lazily for broad catalog surveys.

---

What you get back

Every job normalizes to one schema, across every platform:

{
  "id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "company": "Example Co",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer, Platform",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "Remote - US",
  "locationType": "remote",
  "salary": { "min": 180000, "max": 240000, "currency": "USD" },
  "description": "Design and build the API surface our customers integrate against...",
  "url": "https://boards.example.com/jobs/12345",
  "postedAt": "2026-04-10T14:30:00Z"
}

No custom parsing per company.
