Workopia is a free MCP server that provides AI-powered job search, resume building, and career advice. It works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Jobs are sourced directly from employer career pages, not scraped from job boards.

How do I add Workopia to Claude Desktop?

Open Claude Desktop, go to Settings, then MCP Servers, and click Add Server. Enter the URL: https://workopia.io/api/mcp-gpt. No API key is needed. You can then search jobs, build resumes, and get career advice directly in your Claude conversations.

Yes, Workopia is completely free to use. No subscription, no payment, and no login required. Job search and career advice are unlimited. Resume generation is rate-limited to 20 per hour per user to prevent abuse.

Where does Workopia get its job data?

Workopia sources jobs directly from employer career pages and ATS feeds such as Lever. It does not scrape LinkedIn, Indeed, SEEK, or other job boards. Every job listing links to the official employer posting.

Does Workopia store my resume?

No. Resume content submitted via MCP is processed in-memory for PDF generation and discarded after the response. No copies are saved server-side. Workopia does not store conversation history, personal information, or user identity from MCP interactions.

What AI platforms does Workopia work with?

Workopia works with any MCP-compatible AI client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, OpenClaw (which supports Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more), Cursor, Windsurf, and JetBrains IDEs. Just add the endpoint URL: https://workopia.io/api/mcp-gpt.

Which AI job search tool is easier to set up?

Workopia is significantly easier to set up. It requires pasting one URL (https://workopia.io/api/mcp-gpt) into your AI assistant. Career-Ops requires installing Go, Playwright, cloning a GitHub repo, and configuring YAML files.
