What Freehire MCP does

An MCP server over the freehire job API. It lets any MCP host — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or a compatible agent — search, filter, and apply to IT jobs without a browser, authenticating with a personal API key. Postings are crawled straight from company career boards — 3.3M+ open roles across 294K companies, normalized into one schema and tagged with stack, seniority, region and work mode (live figures).

CVE-2022-29244high · fixedCVSS 7.5

Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces

### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM

An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

Local Privilege Escalation in npm

Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.

npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

README

freehire MCP server

An MCP server over the freehire job API. It lets any MCP host — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or a compatible agent — search, filter, and apply to IT jobs without a browser, authenticating with a personal API key. Postings are crawled straight from company career boards — 3.3M+ open roles across 294K companies, normalized into one schema and tagged with stack, seniority, region and work mode (live figures).

It mirrors the freehire CLI: same API, same credentials, exposed as MCP tools instead of shell commands.

Install

No global install needed — the host runs it via npx. Add it to your host's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit config, or ~/.claude.json for Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freehire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "freehire-mcp"],
      "env": { "FREEHIRE_TOKEN": "fhk_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Create the fhk_… key in the web app (freehire.me → account menu → API keys). If you already use the freehire CLI (freehire auth login), you can omit env — the server reads the same ~/.freehire/creds.json.

Authentication

The token and API base URL resolve with precedence env → ~/.freehire/creds.json → default https://freehire.me:

What	Sources
Token	`FREEHIRE_TOKEN` → creds file
API base URL	`FREEHIRE_API_URL` → creds file → `https://freehire.me`

The server only reads the credentials file (it never writes it — logging in stays the CLI's job). If no token is configured, tools return a clear "not authenticated" error rather than the server failing to start.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`whoami`	Authenticated user (verify the key).
`facets`	The filter/skill vocabulary: every facet's live values with counts. Call first.
`search`	Keyword + facet job search; returns jobs with their full description as markdown and the total match count.
`market_fit`	Score a skill list against live market demand (coverage + gaps).
`job`	A single job's full content by slug.
`company`	A company and its open jobs by slug.
`apply`	Mark a job applied.
`save` / `unsave`	Bookmark / remove a bookmark.
`stage`	Set the application stage (server-validated).
`note`	Attach a free-text note.
`my`	The caller's tracked jobs (all/viewed/saved/applied) with stage + note.
`cv_tailor`	Start (or reopen) tailoring for a vacancy; returns the CV id the other `cv_*` tools take.
`cv_list`	The caller's tailored CVs with the vacancy each was written for.
`cv_context`	The fit analysis a tailored CV should reframe toward (missing_have vs missing_gap).
`cv_get`	A tailored CV's full document.
`cv_edit`	Apply a batch of path-addressed edits to a tailored CV, atomically (server-validated; uncited claims are refused).
`cv_render`	Render a tailored CV to a PDF, returned as a base64 `application/pdf` resource.
`experience_list`	The candidate's experience bank, with each achievement's provenance. `cv_edit`'s `evidence_id` comes from here.
`experience_add_employment` / `experience_add_achievement`	Record a place, or one piece of evidence.
`experience_update_employment` / `experience_update_achievement`	Correct one. Field-level: what you do not name is kept.
`experience_remove_employment` / `experience_remove_achievement`	Delete one. No undo; a place must be empty first.
`submit`	Submit a vacancy for moderation.
`my_submissions`	The caller's submissions with status.
`jobs_add` / `jobs_edit`	Moderator: author / edit a job (403 without the role).
`submissions_pending`	Moderator: the review queue.
`submi
