Workopia — Job Search: MCP server, setup and security
Workopia — Job Search is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent search job listings and tailor resumes and cover letters. Its repository has 314 stars and its last commit is from August 31, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Workopia — Job Search does
According to its repository: “Workopia job search across employer career pages and ATS feeds, plus PDF resume generation, resume tailoring, cover letters and career advice.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Workopia — Job Search is listed under Workplace and productivity, a category of 54 servers in the directory, where it ranks #5 by stars.
Installing and connecting Workopia — Job Search
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx) - remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Workopia — Job Search. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on April 14, 2026, the workopia/workopia-mcp repository has 314 stars and 21 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 83% of the servers in the directory. Last change 2 months ago. Version published in the registry: 1.0.2 (June 15, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
