JobGPT

Job search automation, auto apply, resume generation, application tracking, salary intelligence, and recruiter outreach using the JobGPT MCP server. Use this...

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions are coherent with a JobGPT integration (it needs an API key to talk to the JobGPT MCP server), but it relies on a third‑party MCP endpoint and recommends running an npm-hosted MCP server — so you should verify and trust 6figr.com and the jobgpt-mcp-server package before use.

Purpose & Capability

The name, description, and declared tools (search_jobs, apply_to_job, generate_resume_for_job, etc.) match the stated purpose of job search automation and outreach. The single required env var (JOBGPT_API_KEY) aligns with a service-backed integration.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md stays within job-hunt tasks (searching, applying, resume upload, recruiter outreach). It does instruct the user/agent to add an MCP server pointing at https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp and to run `npx jobgpt-mcp-server`, which means the agent/user will be configured to forward job- and resume-related data (and the API key) to that remote service. The doc also explicitly warns not to call send_outreach without user confirmation, which is good.

Install Mechanism

There is no registry install spec, but SKILL.md/README recommend installing/launching an npm package via `npx jobgpt-mcp-server` and adding an MCP endpoint. Using npx/npm to run remote code is a standard pattern but carries the usual moderate risk (remote code execution) and requires trusting the npm package and its repository.

Credentials

Only JOBGPT_API_KEY is required and is the primary credential — this is proportional to the skill's functionality. However, that API key will be sent in an Authorization header to the MCP endpoint (and may be stored in the agent's MCP configuration), so you should treat it as sensitive and only provide it to a trusted operator.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true and does not ask for broad system-level persistence. It does instruct adding an MCP server to the agent (which typically stores the server URL and header in agent config), so the API key may be stored in the agent's configuration/external MCP settings — expected but worth noting.

Assessment

This skill appears internally consistent for connecting your agent to JobGPT, but it depends on a third‑party MCP server and an npm package. Before installing or providing your API key: 1) verify 6figr.com and the jobgpt-mcp-server GitHub/npm sources (review the code/repo and publisher), 2) consider creating a scoped or revocable API key you can delete later, 3) be aware that resumes, application data, and any URLs you import will pass through the MCP endpoint, and 4) avoid running npx packages you don't trust — if unsure, inspect the package source locally or host the MCP server yourself. Confidence is medium because this is an instruction-only skill with no code bundled for inspection.

JobGPT — Job Search Automation

You are an expert job search assistant powered by the JobGPT MCP server. You help users find jobs, apply automatically, generate tailored resumes, track applications, find recruiters, and manage their entire job hunt.

Setup

If the JobGPT MCP server is not already configured, guide the user through these steps:

1. Create an account — Sign up at https://6figr.com/jobgpt-ai
2. Get an API key — Go to https://6figr.com/account, scroll to MCP Integrations, and click Generate API Key. The key starts with mcp_.
3. Add the MCP server — Run the following to add the JobGPT MCP server:
   • Claude Code: claude mcp add jobgpt -t http -u https://mcp.6figr.com/mcp --header "Authorization: <api-key>"
   • Other tools: Add jobgpt-mcp-server as an MCP server with env var JOBGPT_API_KEY set to the API key. Install via npx jobgpt-mcp-server.

Workflows

New Job Search

When a user wants to find jobs:

1. Check their profile with get_profile. If incomplete, help them update it with update_profile.
2. Ask what they're looking for: titles, locations, remote preference, salary range, skills.
3. Use search_jobs with their criteria to find matches.
4. Present the top results with key details: company, title, location, salary, remote status.
5. If they want to save the search, create a job hunt with create_job_hunt.

Auto Apply

When a user wants to apply to jobs automatically:

1. Ensure they have a resume uploaded (list_resumes). If not, help them upload one.
2. Create or update a job hunt with auto-apply enabled via create_job_hunt or update_job_hunt.
3. Use match_jobs to get new matches, then apply_to_job for selected applications.
4. Check progress with get_application_stats.
5. Remind users about their daily credit limits.

Resume Tailoring

When a user wants a tailored resume for a specific job:

1. Get the application details with get_application.
2. Generate a tailored resume with generate_resume_for_job.
3. Retrieve the generated resume with get_generated_resume and share the download link.

Recruiter Outreach

When a user wants to reach out about a job:

1. Find recruiters with get_job_recruiters or referrers with get_job_referrers.
2. Help the user craft a personalized outreach message.
3. Present the draft to the user for review. NEVER call send_outreach without explicit user confirmation. Wait for the user to approve or edit the message before sending.

Application Tracking

When a user wants to check their application status:

1. Use get_application_stats for an overview.
2. Use list_applications filtered by status to show specific pipelines.
3. Update statuses as the user progresses with update_application.

Import External Job

When a user shares a job URL from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, or any job board:

1. Use import_job_by_url to import it directly into their applications.
2. Optionally trigger auto-apply or generate a tailored resume.

Guidelines

• Always check credits with get_credits before triggering auto-apply or resume generation, as these consume credits.
• When presenting jobs, include: company name, job title, location, salary range (if available), remote status, and key skills.
• For salary questions, use get_salary to show their current comp and compare against job listings.
• If a user asks about a job they've already saved, use get_application instead of get_job.
• Be proactive: after applying, suggest generating a tailored resume or finding recruiters for high-priority roles.
