MCP Integration
Let AI assistants use Datronis via Model Context Protocol
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) connect to external services and call real tools. Datronis exposes one of the most capable public MCP servers in the job-search space: any MCP-compatible AI can search real jobs, browse news, explore companies, and query live platform stats for free — and, with a personal access token, build or update a full resume from nothing but a conversation, submit job applications, and check application status, all on your behalf and without writing a single line of integration code.
Quickest way to test
Paste the server URL into Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) and immediately ask: "Find remote senior React jobs" or "Show me the latest tech news."

Server URL
The MCP server is a single HTTP endpoint. All three HTTP methods are used by the protocol:
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
POST /api/mcp | HTTP | Yes | — | Initialize a new session or send messages to an existing one |
GET /api/mcp | HTTP | No | — | Open a Server-Sent Events stream for server-initiated messages (requires Mcp-Session-Id header) |
DELETE /api/mcp | HTTP | No | — | Close and clean up a session (requires Mcp-Session-Id header) |
https://api.datronis.com/api/mcpClaude Desktop Setup
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file. On macOS this is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
{
"mcpServers": {
"datronis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp"
]
}
}
}mcp-remote
The mcp-remote package bridges Claude Desktop (which uses stdio) to any HTTP MCP server. Install it once with: npm install -g mcp-remote
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline Setup
These editors support HTTP MCP servers natively. Add the server URL in your editor's MCP settings panel:
{
"mcpServers": {
"datronis": {
"url": "https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp",
"type": "http"
}
}
}Available Tools
Les 6 premiers outils ci-dessous sont publics (aucune clé API requise) — l'IA peut les appeler automatiquement selon votre demande. Les 5 restants nécessitent un jeton d'accès personnel (voir la section suivante) car ils agissent sur votre compte : soumettre des candidatures, lire vos CV, consulter votre historique de candidatures, et rédiger ou réviser des articles d'actualité.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
search_jobs | tool "q""country""city""remote_type""job_type""job_level""skills""salary_min""page""limit""api_key (optional)" | No | — | Search job listings by keyword, location, remote policy, job type, experience level, and skills. Pass api_key to personalize results (e.g. whether you saved a job). Returns paginated results. |
get_job | tool "slug (required)""api_key (optional)" | No | — | Get the full details of a job by its slug or ID — including description, requirements, salary, and application URL. Pass api_key to personalize results. |
get_news | tool "title""category_id""locale""limit""offset" | No | — | Fetch the latest news articles. Filter by title keyword, category ID, or locale (language). Returns title, summary, date, and URL. |
get_categories | tool "locale" | No | — | List all content categories on the platform. Used to discover category IDs for filtering news. |
search_companies | tool "query""country""industry""is_hiring""limit""page" | No | — | Search companies by name, industry, or country. Optionally filter to actively-hiring companies. |
get_platform_stats | tool | No | — | Get platform-wide statistics: total jobs, companies, news articles, and users. |
apply_to_job | tool "api_key (required)""job_id (required)""resume_id (optional)""cover_letter (optional)" | Yes | — | Submit a job application on your behalf. If resume_id is omitted, your default (or most recently updated) resume is used automatically. |
list_my_resumes | tool "api_key (required)""query""status""locale""page""limit" | Yes | — | List your saved resumes (including their full content), so an AI agent can show you which one will be used to apply, let you pick a different one, or read the current content before updating it. |
create_resume | tool "api_key (required)""title""locale""is_default""name""headline""summary""location""contact""experiences""education""skills""projects""certificates""customSections" | Yes | — | Create a resume by giving your AI agent its content directly — name, headline, summary, contact info, work experience, education, skills, projects, certificates. No manual form-filling: describe your background in chat and the agent builds the resume for you. Skips layout/styling entirely; Datronis applies sensible defaults, which you can still adjust afterward in the human builder at /app/resume-builder/. |
update_resume | tool "api_key (required)""resume_id (required)""title""locale""status""is_default""full_replace""name""headline""summary""location""contact""experiences""education""skills""projects""certificates""customSections" | Yes | — | Rédigez et publiez un article d'actualité. Ouvert à tout compte — le jeton sert à limiter le débit et à assurer une piste d'audit, pas à filtrer les autorisations. Toujours rédigé d'abord en anglais ; un classificateur de sécurité automatisé doit renvoyer "green" avant que l'article ne soit publié (voir Sécurité du contenu et politique de publication ci-dessous). Publie uniquement en anglais sauf si target_locales est fourni. |
get_my_applications | tool "api_key (required)""page""limit" | Yes | — | Révisez et reclassifiez un article que draft_news a rejeté comme "flagged". Chaque tentative est journalisée séparément — jamais un changement de statut silencieux. Seul le compte ayant soumis l'article à l'origine peut le soumettre à nouveau. |
draft_news | tool "api_key (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)""category_id (optional)""target_locales (optional)" | Yes | — | Draft and publish a news article. Body may be rich HTML with classes and inline CSS, or Markdown rendered server-side. Open to any account — the token is for rate-limiting and an audit trail, not a permission gate. Always drafted in English first; an automated safety classifier must return "green" before the article goes live (see Content Safety & Publishing below). Publishes English-only unless target_locales is given. |
resubmit_news | tool "api_key (required)""news_id (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)""target_locales (optional)" | Yes | — | Revise and reclassify an article that draft_news rejected as "flagged". Every attempt is separately logged — never a silent status flip. Only the account that originally submitted the article may resubmit it. |
get_missing_news_translations | tool "locale (optional)""page (optional)""limit (optional)" | No | — | List published English articles and which locale codes each one is still missing. Pass locale to focus on a single language. Read-only — never translates anything itself. |
submit_news_translation | tool "api_key (required)""news_id (required)""locale (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)" | Yes | — | Publish your own translation of an already-published article into a new locale. Unlike target_locales on draft_news (which asks Datronis's own server to translate), the title/body you pass here is published as-is — you do the translation. Rejected if that locale is already covered. |
admin_create_news | tool "api_key (required, admin)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)""locale (required)""category_id (optional)""published (optional)""target_locales (optional)""translate_to_all (optional)" | Yes | — | Admin-only: publish a news article directly into any locale and optionally queue selected or all missing translations. Translation jobs are durable and continue after the MCP call returns. |
admin_edit_news | tool "api_key (required, admin)""news_id (required)""title (optional)""body (optional)""content_format (html | markdown; used when body is supplied)""category_id (optional)""published (optional)" | Yes | — | Admin-only: edit any existing article's title, body, category, or published status, regardless of who created it. No ownership restriction and no classifier. Omit a field to leave it unchanged. |
admin_translate_news | tool "api_key (required, admin)""news_id (required)""target_locales (optional; omit for all missing)" | Yes | — | Admin-only: queue server-generated translations for selected missing locales, or omit target_locales to fill every missing language. Existing translations are skipped, and retries are idempotent. |
admin_get_news_translation_status | tool "api_key (required, admin)""news_id (required)" | Yes | — | Admin-only: check existing and missing locales plus QUEUED, PROCESSING, COMPLETED, or FAILED state for every translation task. complete=true means all 24 languages exist. |
Sécurité du contenu et politique de publication pour draft_news
La publication d'actualités via MCP suit un flux fixe et incontournable : rédiger en anglais, classifier, et seulement ensuite décider si l'article est publié et dans quelles autres langues.
- Étape 1 — Brouillon en anglais — draft_news crée toujours d'abord la version anglaise de l'article, quelles que soient les langues dans lesquelles vous souhaitez finalement le publier. La classification et toute révision se basent toutes deux sur cette version anglaise comme source de vérité.
- Étape 2 — Classification automatique — un classificateur de sécurité IA lit l'article et renvoie soit "green" (non controversé — science, technologie, affaires, sport, divertissement, culture, santé, style de vie) soit "flagged" (politique partisane, élections, guerre ou conflit, violence graphique, discours de haine, désinformation, ou tout sujet susceptible d'être perçu comme controversé ou clivant par un large public).
- Si green — l'article est publié immédiatement en anglais, et également traduit et publié dans toutes les locales listées dans target_locales.
- Si flagged — l'article est créé mais reste non publié. L'appel de l'outil renvoie le raisonnement du classificateur. Rien de ce que vous pouvez transmettre à draft_news ne le force à être publié à partir de là — il n'existe aucun indicateur de contournement.
- Étape 3 — Réviser et resoumettre (facultatif) — appelez resubmit_news avec le même news_id et un titre/corps révisé. Cela exécute une toute nouvelle classification sur la révision et est journalisé comme une tentative distincte de l'original. Si la révision est désormais green, elle est publiée ; si elle est toujours flagged, elle reste non publiée et peut être resoumise à nouveau.
- Propriété — seul le compte dont l'api_key a initialement appelé draft_news pour un article donné peut appeler resubmit_news dessus. Une api_key différente (même valide) est rejetée.
- Les langues sont facultatives — omettre target_locales publie uniquement en anglais. Transmettez les codes de langue à 2 lettres souhaités (par exemple ["de", "ru"]) pour aussi traduire et publier dans ces langues lors du même appel.
- Flexible authoring — set content_format to markdown for headings, tables, lists, links, images and code blocks, or html for rich HTML, classes and inline CSS. Markdown is converted to stable HTML on the backend before storage, translation and indexing.
Pourquoi cette étape ne peut pas être contournée
La barrière de classification existe pour que quiconque puisse utiliser draft_news sans qu'un humain n'ait besoin d'approuver chaque article au préalable — c'est ce qui rend un outil ouvert de publication de contenu non authentifié sûr à laisser public.
target_locales vs. submit_news_translation
target_locales on draft_news/resubmit_news asks Datronis's own server to translate the article for you. submit_news_translation is the opposite: you (the calling AI) write the translated title/body yourself and publish it directly — no server-side translation call happens at all. Use get_missing_news_translations first to find articles that genuinely need a given locale.
Authenticated Tools — Personal Access Tokens
apply_to_job, list_my_resumes, create_resume, update_resume, get_my_applications, draft_news, resubmit_news, submit_news_translation, and all admin_* tools act on your Datronis account, so they need to know who you are. Generate a personal access token from your account settings, then send it either as an Authorization: Bearer HTTP header (preferred) or as the api_key argument on the tool call.
Prefer the Authorization header over the api_key argument
If your MCP client lets you configure a header, use Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request instead of passing api_key as a tool argument. An argument has to be reproduced verbatim inside the JSON the calling AI generates for the tool call — which means it passes through the model's own context and shows up in conversation history, tool-call logs, and tracing. A header never does. This isn't theoretical: a real key was corrupted in exactly this way once — the model reconstructing the argument spliced an unrelated local file path into the middle of it. If a header isn't an option in your client, the argument still works (checked second, as a fallback), but treat any key that ever passed through it as more exposed and rotate it more readily.
- Step 1 — Go to
/app/api-keys/while logged in and click "New Key". - Step 2 — Copy the generated key (starts with
dtk_) — it's shown only once. - Step 3 (preferred) — Configure your MCP client to send
Authorization: Bearer dtk_...as an HTTP header on every request. - Step 3 (fallback) — If your client can't set custom headers, pass it as
api_keyin your prompt or tool call instead, e.g. "apply to job X using api_key dtk_...". - Revoking — Revoke a key anytime from the same page; it stops working immediately, regardless of which method was used to send it.
One key, every capability
The same personal access token also works with the Datronis Converter API (/api/v1/convert) — you don't need a separate key for MCP tool calls.
All admin_* tools need an admin account
The four admin tools check the token owner's account role, not just whether the token is valid. A regular account's token is rejected with "Admin access required" even though it works for non-admin tools. There is no separate admin-specific token type — it is the same personal access token, checked against its account role.
ChatGPT production authentication
The api_key argument is useful for direct/developer-mode testing, but a published authenticated ChatGPT plugin should use the MCP OAuth 2.1 authorization flow. The Datronis token must not be pasted into ordinary prompts; configure authentication at the connection level whenever the client supports it.
Resources
The MCP server also exposes a readable resource — the platform overview documentation — which AI assistants can read to understand the platform before calling tools:
platform://docs/overviewHow Sessions Work
The server uses the Streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec 2025-03-26):
- Step 1 — Client sends
POST /api/mcpwith aninitializemessage (no session ID header). Every request, including this first one, must sendAccept: application/json, text/event-stream— the server rejects anything else with406 Not Acceptable. - Step 2 — Server creates a session and returns the
Mcp-Session-Idheader. - Step 3 — Client sends a
notifications/initializedmessage (with theMcp-Session-Idheader) to confirm the handshake — the spec-correct next step, expected by well-behaved MCP clients even though this server doesn't currently enforce it. - Step 4 — All subsequent tool calls include the
Mcp-Session-Idheader. - Step 5 — Client can open a
GET /api/mcpSSE stream for server-initiated notifications. - Step 6 — Client sends
DELETE /api/mcpto close the session when done. - Auto-expiry — Sessions auto-expire after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Accept header is required
The server rejects any request that doesn't advertise support for both response formats with 406 Not Acceptable: Client must accept both application/json and text/event-stream. Every request below — not just the first — needs Accept: application/json, text/event-stream alongside Content-Type: application/json.
# Step 1: Initialize a session
curl -X POST https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-D - \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","id":1,"params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}'
# Note the Mcp-Session-Id in the response headers, then:
# Step 2: Confirm initialization (expected: 202 Accepted, empty body)
curl -X POST https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-H "Mcp-Session-Id: <your-session-id>" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}'
# Step 3: List available tools
curl -X POST https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-H "Mcp-Session-Id: <your-session-id>" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":2}'
# Step 4: Call search_jobs
curl -X POST https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-H "Mcp-Session-Id: <your-session-id>" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","id":3,"params":{"name":"search_jobs","arguments":{"q":"React","remote_type":"REMOTE","limit":5}}}'Locale Reference
