Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

Magnificent Jobs has shipped a free, open-source CLI plugin that lets developers find job listings directly inside Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients, tapping a live database of more than 3.3 million US positions refreshed every hour. The project is documented in github.com's AdanRott/magnificent-jobs-plugin and is already listed in the official MCP Registry as com.magnificentjobs/jobs.

This article covers how the Magnificent Jobs plugin installs, what it can search, and which AI coding environments it supports — relevant for developers who spend their day in terminal-first workflows and want job discovery without leaving their editor.

What shipped in Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

Magnificent Jobs launched a Claude Code plugin and a remote MCP server that exposes four read-only tools — search_jobs, get_job, find_cities, and list_states — to any AI client that supports Streamable HTTP. The live index currently lists 3,334,183 positions across the United States, with roughly 170,000 new listings added each day, sourced from corners of the web that the team says LinkedIn and Indeed do not surface. The underlying server is hosted at https://magnificentjobs.com/mcp, requires no API key or account, and is MIT-licensed at the plugin layer while job data is served under Magnificent Jobs' own terms.

Claude Code users get the plugin through the marketplace in two commands. Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any other client that accepts a JSON MCP configuration block can also connect by pasting the published snippet. ChatGPT can install it from the Plugins directory or by adding the MCP endpoint in Developer mode, and Claude.ai Desktop users reach it through Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

What improved in Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

The plugin ships a dedicated skill called find-jobs that teaches Claude how to phrase queries — full job title, one clarifying sentence, and a skills list — and specifies when to call each of the four tools. Before the plugin existed, developers using Claude Code had no structured way to query a live job database from the terminal; they would have to switch context to a browser. The MCP integration removes that context switch entirely.

What you gain from Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

Developers can run natural-language searches such as "Find remote senior React engineer jobs and show me the three best with salaries" or "What warehouse or forklift jobs are within 10 miles of Fresno? Give me the apply link for the closest one" directly in the Claude Code terminal. The search_jobs tool supports semantic search with filters for city radius, state, remote or on-site preference, experience band, and employment type. get_job returns the full job description, salary details where available, required skills, and a direct apply link, so a developer can evaluate a role and grab the application URL without leaving the CLI session.

Coverage is US-only at launch. Searches are transmitted to magnificentjobs.com to retrieve results and are not stored beyond standard server logs. No personal data is collected and no account is required, with a full privacy policy published at https://magnificentjobs.com/privacy and terms at https://magnificentjobs.com/terms.

How to get Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

To install inside Claude Code, run the marketplace commands in sequence:

/plugin marketplace add AdanRott/magnificent-jobs-plugin
/plugin install magnificent-jobs@magnificent-jobs

To add the MCP server directly via the Claude Code CLI transport flag:

claude mcp add --transport http magnificent-jobs https://magnificentjobs.com/mcp

For stdio-only clients or Docker environments, the npm package proxies to the hosted server over stdio:

npx magnificentjobs mcp

Or build and run the Docker image:

docker build -t magnificentjobs . && docker run -i magnificentjobs

For a quick first run without any persistent install, the setup wizard is one command:

npx magnificentjobs setup

Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code users paste the following JSON into their MCP settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magnificent-jobs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://magnificentjobs.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai Desktop users navigate to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and enter https://magnificentjobs.com/mcp with no authentication.

What to watch after Find jobs with Claude Code CLI news update

Coverage is restricted to the United States at launch, which limits the tool's utility for developers searching markets in Europe, Asia, or Latin America. The project offers no signal about when international job data might arrive, and the listing count — 3,334,183 with 170,000 daily additions — is specific to US postings. Developers outside the US working on US-remote positions can still use it, but anyone seeking local roles abroad will find no results.

The plugin's skill layer explicitly instructs the model never to invent job listings and never to claim it has submitted an application on the user's behalf, which guards against a category of AI hallucination that could cause real professional harm. Developer documentation lives at https://magnificentjobs.com/developers, and questions can be directed to info@magnificentjobs.com. Given that the project is MIT-licensed and the MCP server is public and keyless, community forks targeting additional job markets or additional tool verbs are straightforward to build on top of the existing infrastructure.
