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:

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
POST /api/mcpHTTPYesInitialize a new session or send messages to an existing one
GET /api/mcpHTTPNoOpen a Server-Sent Events stream for server-initiated messages (requires Mcp-Session-Id header)
DELETE /api/mcpHTTPNoClose and clean up a session (requires Mcp-Session-Id header)
Server URL
https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop Setup

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file. On macOS this is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datronis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
ℹ️

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:

.cursor/mcp.json (or equivalent)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datronis": {
      "url": "https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

ששת הכלים הראשונים למטה ציבוריים (אין צורך במפתח API) — הבינה המלאכותית יכולה לקרוא להם אוטומטית לפי בקשתך. חמשת הכלים הנותרים דורשים אסימון גישה אישי (ראו את הסעיף הבא) מכיוון שהם פועלים על חשבונך: שליחת מועמדויות, קריאת קורות החיים שלך, בדיקת היסטוריית המועמדויות שלך, וטיוטה או עריכה של כתבות חדשות.

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
search_jobstool
"q""country""city""remote_type""job_type""job_level""skills""salary_min""page""limit""api_key (optional)"
NoSearch 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_jobtool
"slug (required)""api_key (optional)"
NoGet 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_newstool
"title""category_id""locale""limit""offset"
NoFetch the latest news articles. Filter by title keyword, category ID, or locale (language). Returns title, summary, date, and URL.
get_categoriestool
"locale"
NoList all content categories on the platform. Used to discover category IDs for filtering news.
search_companiestool
"query""country""industry""is_hiring""limit""page"
NoSearch companies by name, industry, or country. Optionally filter to actively-hiring companies.
get_platform_statstool
NoGet platform-wide statistics: total jobs, companies, news articles, and users.
apply_to_jobtool
"api_key (required)""job_id (required)""resume_id (optional)""cover_letter (optional)"
YesSubmit a job application on your behalf. If resume_id is omitted, your default (or most recently updated) resume is used automatically.
list_my_resumestool
"api_key (required)""query""status""locale""page""limit"
YesList 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_resumetool
"api_key (required)""title""locale""is_default""name""headline""summary""location""contact""experiences""education""skills""projects""certificates""customSections"
YesCreate 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_resumetool
"api_key (required)""resume_id (required)""title""locale""status""is_default""full_replace""name""headline""summary""location""contact""experiences""education""skills""projects""certificates""customSections"
Yesצור טיוטה ופרסם כתבת חדשות. פתוח לכל חשבון — האסימון מיועד להגבלת קצב ולמסלול ביקורת, לא לשער הרשאות. תמיד מנוסח תחילה באנגלית; מסווג בטיחות אוטומטי חייב להחזיר "green" לפני שהכתבה עולה לאוויר (ראו אבטחת תוכן ומדיניות פרסום למטה). מפרסם באנגלית בלבד אלא אם צוין target_locales.
get_my_applicationstool
"api_key (required)""page""limit"
Yesבדוק מחדש וסווג מחדש כתבה ש-draft_news דחה כ-"flagged". כל ניסיון נרשם בנפרד — לעולם לא שינוי סטטוס שקט. רק החשבון שהגיש במקור את הכתבה רשאי להגיש אותה מחדש.
draft_newstool
"api_key (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)""category_id (optional)""target_locales (optional)"
YesDraft 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_newstool
"api_key (required)""news_id (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)""target_locales (optional)"
YesRevise 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_translationstool
"locale (optional)""page (optional)""limit (optional)"
NoList 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_translationtool
"api_key (required)""news_id (required)""locale (required)""title (required)""body (required)""content_format (html | markdown; default html)"
YesPublish 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_newstool
"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)"
YesAdmin-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_newstool
"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)"
YesAdmin-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_newstool
"api_key (required, admin)""news_id (required)""target_locales (optional; omit for all missing)"
YesAdmin-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_statustool
"api_key (required, admin)""news_id (required)"
YesAdmin-only: check existing and missing locales plus QUEUED, PROCESSING, COMPLETED, or FAILED state for every translation task. complete=true means all 24 languages exist.

אבטחת תוכן ומדיניות פרסום עבור draft_news

פרסום חדשות דרך MCP פועל לפי תהליך קבוע שאי אפשר לעקוף: ניסוח באנגלית, סיווג, ורק אז החלטה האם לפרסם ובאילו שפות נוספות.

  • שלב 1 — טיוטה באנגלית — draft_news תמיד יוצר תחילה את הגרסה האנגלית של הכתבה, ללא קשר לשפות שבהן תרצה בסופו של דבר לפרסם אותה. גם הסיווג וגם כל בדיקה מבוססים על גרסה אנגלית זו כמקור האמת.
  • שלב 2 — סיווג אוטומטי — מסווג בטיחות מבוסס בינה מלאכותית קורא את הכתבה ומחזיר "green" (לא שנוי במחלוקת — מדע, טכנולוגיה, עסקים, ספורט, בידור, תרבות, בריאות, אורח חיים) או "flagged" (פוליטיקה מפלגתית, בחירות, מלחמה או סכסוך, אלימות גרפית, שיח שנאה, מידע כוזב, או כל דבר שעלול להיתפס כשנוי במחלוקת או מפלג בקרב קהל רחב).
  • אם green — הכתבה עולה לאוויר מיד באנגלית, וגם מתורגמת ומפורסמת בכל השפות שציינת ב-target_locales.
  • אם flagged — הכתבה נוצרת אך נשארת לא מפורסמת. קריאת הכלי מחזירה את נימוקי המסווג. שום דבר שניתן להעביר ל-draft_news לא יכפה עליה לעלות לאוויר מכאן — אין דגל עקיפה.
  • שלב 3 — בדיקה מחדש והגשה מחדש (אופציונלי) — קרא ל-resubmit_news עם אותו news_id וכותרת/גוף מתוקנים. פעולה זו מריצה סיווג חדש לגמרי על התיקון ונרשמת כניסיון נפרד מהמקור. אם התיקון כעת green, הוא מתפרסם; אם עדיין flagged, הוא נשאר לא מפורסם וניתן להגיש אותו מחדש שוב.
  • בעלות — רק החשבון שה-api_key שלו קרא במקור ל-draft_news עבור כתבה מסוימת רשאי לקרוא ל-resubmit_news עליה. api_key אחר (אפילו תקף) נדחה.
  • השפות הן אופציונליות — השמטת target_locales מפרסמת באנגלית בלבד. העבר את קודי השפה בני שתי האותיות שברצונך (למשל ["de", "ru"]) כדי גם לתרגם ולפרסם בשפות אלו באותה קריאה.
  • 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.
ℹ️

מדוע לא ניתן לדלג על שלב זה

שער הסיווג קיים כדי שכל אחד יוכל להשתמש ב-draft_news מבלי שאדם יצטרך לאשר מראש כל כתבה — זה מה שהופך כלי פרסום תוכן פתוח ולא מאומת לבטוח להשאיר ציבורי.

💡

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_key in 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.
ℹ️

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.

ℹ️

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:

Resource URI
platform://docs/overview

How Sessions Work

The server uses the Streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec 2025-03-26):

  • Step 1 — Client sends POST /api/mcp with an initialize message (no session ID header). Every request, including this first one, must send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream — the server rejects anything else with 406 Not Acceptable.
  • Step 2 — Server creates a session and returns the Mcp-Session-Id header.
  • Step 3 — Client sends a notifications/initialized message (with the Mcp-Session-Id header) 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-Id header.
  • Step 5 — Client can open a GET /api/mcp SSE stream for server-initiated notifications.
  • Step 6 — Client sends DELETE /api/mcp to 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.

Manual test with curl
# 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

הפרמטר locale ב-get_news וב-get_categories מקבל מספר בין 1 ל-24. draft_news/resubmit_news משתמשים במקום זאת בקודים בני שתי אותיות (למשל "de", "ru") ב-target_locales — אותם קודים המוצגים בטבלה זו.
