MCP Integration

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.

The MCP server is a single HTTP endpoint. All three HTTP methods are used by the protocol:

https://api.datronis.com/api/mcp

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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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"
    }
  }
}

De första 6 verktygen nedan är offentliga (ingen API-nyckel krävs) — AI:n kan anropa dem automatiskt utifrån din förfrågan. De återstående 5 kräver en personlig åtkomsttoken (se nästa avsnitt) eftersom de agerar på ditt konto: skicka in ansökningar, läsa dina CV:n, kontrollera din ansökningshistorik samt utforma eller revidera nyhetsartiklar.

Nyhetspublicering via MCP följer ett fast arbetsflöde som inte kan kringgås: utforma på engelska, klassificera, och först därefter avgöra om — och på vilka andra språk — det ska publiceras.

• Steg 1 — Engelskt utkast — draft_news skapar alltid en engelsk version av artikeln först, oavsett vilka språk du slutligen vill publicera den på. Både klassificeringen och all granskning bygger på denna engelska version som sanningskälla.
• Steg 2 — Automatisk klassificering — En AI-säkerhetsklassificerare läser artikeln och returnerar antingen «green» (icke-kontroversiellt — vetenskap, teknik, näringsliv, sport, underhållning, kultur, hälsa, livsstil) eller «flagged» (partipolitik, val, krig eller konflikt, grafiskt våld, hatretorik, felinformation, eller något som sannolikt uppfattas som kontroversiellt eller splittrande av en bred publik).
• Om green — artikeln publiceras omedelbart på engelska och översätts och publiceras även på alla lokaler du listat i target_locales.
• Om flagged — artikeln skapas men förblir opublicerad. Verktygsanropet returnerar klassificerarens motivering. Inget du kan skicka till draft_news tvingar fram publicering härifrån — det finns ingen kringgåendeflagga.
• Steg 3 — Granska och skicka in igen (valfritt) — anropa resubmit_news med samma news_id och en reviderad rubrik/text. Detta utlöser en helt ny klassificering av revideringen och loggas som ett separat försök, oberoende av originalet. Om revideringen nu är green publiceras den; om den fortfarande är flagged förblir den opublicerad och kan skickas in igen.
• Ägarskap — endast kontot vars api_key ursprungligen anropade draft_news för en given artikel kan anropa resubmit_news på den. En annan (även giltig) api_key avvisas.
• Språk är valfritt — att utelämna target_locales publicerar endast på engelska. Ange önskade 2-bokstavskoder (t.ex. ["de", "ru"]) för att även översätta och publicera på dessa språk i samma anrop.
• 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.

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.

• 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.

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/overview

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.

# 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}}}'

Parametern locale i get_news och get_categories tar ett tal från 1 till 24. draft_news/resubmit_news använder istället 2-bokstavskoder (t.ex. «de», «ru») i target_locales — samma koder som visas i denna tabell.
