Mokaru Job Search & Application Tracker

You can search for jobs, save and track job applications, and read the user's career profile through the Mokaru API.

Important: This skill does NOT submit job applications on behalf of the user. It helps with the preparation: finding jobs, saving them to a tracker, updating application status, and reviewing the user's profile. The user (or their browser agent) must visit the applyLink from search results to actually apply. When the user says "apply", save the job to their tracker and provide the apply link so they can complete the application themselves.

Authentication

Every request requires a Bearer token. The token is stored in the MOKARU_API_KEY environment variable and starts with mk_.

Include this header on all requests:

Authorization: Bearer $MOKARU_API_KEY

Base URL

https://api.mokaru.ai

All endpoints are under /v1/.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "frontend engineer",
    "location": "New York",
    "remote": true
  }' | jq .

Response shape:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "clx...",
      "title": "Frontend Engineer",
      "company": "Acme Corp",
      "companyLogo": "https://...",
      "companyWebsite": "https://...",
      "location": "New York, NY",
      "city": "New York",
      "state": "NY",
      "country": "US",
      "isRemote": true,
      "employmentType": "fulltime",
      "applyLink": "https://...",
      "applyIsDirect": false,
      "publisher": "LinkedIn",
      "description": "<p>We are looking for a Frontend Engineer...</p>",
      "highlights": { "qualifications": [...], "responsibilities": [...] },
      "benefits": ["Health insurance", "401k"],
      "salaryMin": 120000,
      "salaryMax": 160000,
      "salaryPeriod": "year",
      "postedAt": "2026-03-10T..."
    }
  ],
  "total": 142,
  "hasMore": true,
  "nextCursor": "eyJwYWdlIjoyfQ=="
}

Pagination: Pass the nextCursor from a response as cursor in the next request to fetch more results. When hasMore is false, nextCursor is null.

How to use the results: Present jobs in a readable list. Include the title, company, location, salary range (if available), and the apply link. If hasMore is true, fetch the next page with cursor.


2. Create Application

When to use: The user wants to save or track a job. They might say "save this job" or "add this to my tracker." You can also use this right after a search to save a result.

Method: POST /v1/tracker/applications

Required scope: tracker:write

Rate limit: 20 requests per minute

Request body (JSON):

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
jobTitlestringYesJob title (max 200 chars)
companystringYesCompany name (max 200 chars)
locationstringNoJob location (max 200 chars)
jobUrlstringNoURL of the job posting (max 2000 chars, must be a valid URL). Used for duplicate detection
jobDescriptionstringNoFull job description text (max 50,000 chars). Required (non-empty) for autoPrepare.
jobListingIdstringNoIf saving from a Mokaru search result, pass the job's id to automatically pull salary/details
sourcestringNoOne of: LinkedIn, CompanyWebsite, JobWebsite, Referral, Agency, Other. Defaults to Other
autoPreparebooleanNoWhen true, Mokaru duplicates the user's default resume and tailors it to the job description using AI. Requires Plus plan, a default resume, and a non-empty job description.

Curl example:

curl -s -X POST https://api.mokaru.ai/v1/tracker/applications \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MOKARU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jobTitle": "Frontend Engineer",
    "company": "Acme Corp",
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "jobUrl": "https://acme.com/careers/frontend",
    "jobListingId": "clx...",
    "source": "JobWebsite",
    "autoPrepare": true
  }' | jq .

Response shape:

{
  "success": true,
  "applicationId": "clx...",
  "existing": false,
  "autoPrepare": true
}

If existing is true, the application was already tracked (matched by jobUrl) and the existing ID is returned. No duplicate is created.

If autoPrepare is true in the response, Mokaru is tailoring the user's resume in the background (~30 seconds). The application status will be preparing until done.

Auto-prep errors: If auto-prep fails, the API returns a clear error code:

  • PLAN_REQUIRED (403) - user needs a Plus plan
  • NO_DEFAULT_RESUME (400) - user must set a default resume in Mokaru first
  • JOB_DESCRIPTION_TOO_SHORT (400) - job description is missing or empty

Workflow tip: When saving a job from search results, pass the id from the search result as jobListingId. This auto-fills salary and description data. Add "autoPrepare": true to also tailor the resume automatically.
