Developers: MCP access

Job Hunt Tracker is an MCP server (Model Context Protocol). Your own AI assistant, or any other agent, can read your tracker and ask our agent for a grounded brief before an interview or assessment. Everything is read-only and scoped to your account: an agent can never change a status. Only you can, in Telegram.

Tools

list_applications

Your tracked applications, filtered. Each row has an application_id for the brief.

No AI cost

Argument	Type	Meaning
company	string	Partial company name
statuses	string[]	APPLIED, ASSESSMENT, INTERVIEW, OFFER, REJECTED, WITHDRAWN
open_only	boolean	Only applications still in progress
no_reply_yet	boolean	Only applications still waiting for a first reply
quiet_for_days	integer	No email for at least this many days

generate_prep_brief

A grounded brief for one application's next step, as typed JSON (declared as the tool's output schema). briefType says what it prepares for: an interview, an assessment, or none (nothing to prepare for: free, with the reason). Every fact carries a quote checked word for word against your email.

Uses your AI allowance

Argument	Type	Meaning
application_id	string	From list_applications (required)

Asking again is free until something changes (a new email, a new status or a new card). A card still waiting for your approval is reported in pendingApproval, never applied.

Who can change your data through MCP?

No one. There are no write tools; the tools read through a database connection that refuses every write; every query is limited to the token's owner; and every call is logged. Status changes happen only when you tap Approve on a card in Telegram.
