About indeeddata
indeeddata is a local bridge that returns Indeed job listings and full posting details as JSON. It is aimed at clients searching public jobs by keyword and location or retrieving a posting by URL, and relays requests to HasData without maintaining its own listings.
Key features
- 01Search listings by keyword and location
- 02Filter and page through search results
- 03Retrieve full job posting details
- 04Return salary, type, description, and benefits
- 05Read-only forwarding to HasData
Use cases
- 01Find jobs matching a role and location
- 02Narrow listings by posting date or remote type
- 03Review compensation and benefits for a job
MCP support
Exposes two read-only Indeed job lookup tools to MCP clients. It forwards calls to the hosted HasData Indeed MCP server and passes successful results through.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEindeeddata
indeeddata is a small local bridge to the hosted HasData Indeed MCP server, which returns Indeed job data as JSON. It covers the two everyday questions about public postings: which jobs match a keyword in a place right now, and what a single posting actually says once you have its URL. A listing search returns a page of jobs with their titles, companies, locations, salaries, posted dates, URLs, sponsored flags and stable jobKey identifiers; a details fetch returns one posting in full, with its compensation, employment type, complete description and benefits.
The bridge keeps no postings of its own. It serves the upstream server's tool list locally, exactly as captured from the live endpoint, and forwards each tool call upstream, returning the result untouched. The captured surface is two read-only fetches over public postings only: there is no application submission, no employer or candidate contact data, and no messaging or payment tool in it.
Tools
hasdata_indeed_listing_getJobListings— search Indeed listings. Required:keywordandlocation. Optional:sort(relevance/date),domain(the country site to search, for exampleau.indeed.com),sponsoredOnly,datePosted(1/3/7/14days),remoteType(remote/hybrid), andstart(result offset for paging). For remote roles in the US, use a country-wide location such asUnited States: Indeed ties fully remote jobs to the country rather than a city.hasdata_indeed_job_getJobDetails— fetch one posting in full. Required:url(the posting's viewjob URL, typically taken from a listing search result). Returns title, company, location, salary/compensation, employment type, full description and benefits.
Configuration
HASDATA_INDEED_MCP_URL(optional) — override the upstream endpoint. Defaults tohttps://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=indeed. (The override hook is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction.)HASDATA_API_KEY(optional) — when set, every upstream request carries anx-api-key: <key>header, for the caller's own HasData API key. When it is not set, no key header is sent. (The header name and the env name are pinned by the original's registry record; forwarding the key from this env var is a labelled reconstruction — the original surface was captured keyless.)
Forwarding mechanics
On the first tool call the client opens a streamable
HTTP session with the upstream: a JSON-RPC
initialize request (protocolVersion 2025-03-26,
clientInfo name indeeddata), then a
notifications/initialized notification, then the
tools/call request carrying the caller's arguments
unchanged. When the upstream answers initialize
with an Mcp-Session-Id header, that value rides on
every later request of the session, which is reused
for the life of the process. Replies may arrive as
plain JSON or as server-sent events; both are read.
Successful upstream results pass through verbatim,
including any isError flag the upstream sets.
Failures — a JSON-RPC error, a non-2xx status, an
unreadable response, or a request that cannot be
completed — come back as an isError result whose
text starts with indeeddata error: (this rendering
is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction).
CLI
Each tool is also a subcommand taking one JSON argument string:
npx @reneturcios/indeeddata hasdata_indeed_listing_getJobListings '{"keyword":"nurse","location":"Austin, Texas","sort":"date"}'
npx @reneturcios/indeeddata hasdata_indeed_job_getJobDetails '{"url":"https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=example"}'
npx @reneturcios/indeeddata --version
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an isError
result, 2 on a usage error.
MCP server
npx -y @reneturcios/indeeddata mcp
MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"indeeddata": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/indeeddata", "mcp"]
}
}
}
Docker
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/indeeddata
docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/indeeddata --version
The container's default command is mcp, so the first
form is a stdio MCP server; any other arguments reach
the CLI normally.
Development
npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run dev
The test suite runs entirely against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream — no live network calls.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
