JobDataLake MCP Server for ChatGPT

To search live jobs from ChatGPT, add JobDataLake as a custom remote MCP connector pointing at https://mcp.jobdatalake.com. ChatGPT can then answer hiring questions against 1.8M+ real, current postings instead of whatever was in its training data.

How to connect JobDataLake to ChatGPT

  1. 1. Open connector settings

    In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Connectors and choose to add a custom connector. Custom MCP connectors require a paid plan with developer mode enabled.

  2. 2. Point it at the JobDataLake server

    Use the hosted MCP endpoint as the server URL. No authentication is needed for the free tier.

  3. 3. Enable it in a chat

    Turn the connector on for your conversation, then ask for jobs in plain English.

What you can ask ChatGPT once it's connected

"Find me fully remote senior Python roles paying over $150k."
"What remote product manager jobs are open in the UK right now?"
"Which companies are hiring the most machine learning engineers?"
"Show me remote design jobs and tell me what skills they ask for most."

Remote MCP endpoint

Any MCP-compatible tool can connect to the hosted server directly — nothing to install.

Frequently asked questions

Is the JobDataLake MCP server free to use with ChatGPT?

Yes. The free tier gives you 500 job searches per day with no signup and no API key. If you need more, add a JobDataLake API key to the same config and the limit lifts.

How current is the job data?

Jobs are scraped directly from 25,000+ company career pages and ATS platforms and updated hourly. New postings are typically searchable within 3 hours.

What can it actually search?

Over 1.8M+ enriched job listings from 25,000+ companies across 40+ ATS platforms. Each listing carries title, company, location, salary normalized to USD, remote type, seniority, required skills, and employment type.

Which tools does the server expose?

search_jobs, get_job, get_company, find_similar_jobs, and get_filter_options. Your assistant picks the right one automatically — you just ask in plain English.

Why does my ChatGPT plan not show custom connectors?

Custom MCP connectors are gated to paid plans with developer mode enabled. If you cannot add one, the same data is available through the REST API or through Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
