mcp-arbeitnow

Arbeitnow Job Board MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1872+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

Tool	Description
list_jobs	List recent job postings from Arbeitnow, a keyless European (Germany-heavy) job board with many English-speaking and visa-sponsorship roles. Returns one page of postings in reverse-chronological order (newest first). HTML descriptions are omitted from this list — use get_job for the full description. Use page to paginate and remote_only to keep only remote jobs.
search_jobs	Keyword-search recent Arbeitnow job postings (keyless European/German job board, many English-speaking & visa-sponsor roles). The upstream API has no search param, so this scans the most recent pages and filters client-side: it keeps jobs whose title, company name, or any tag contains the query (case-insensitive). Scans up to pages pages (default 3, max 10). Older jobs that have scrolled off the recent pages will not be found.
get_job	Fetch the full details of a single Arbeitnow job posting by its slug, INCLUDING the full HTML description. There is no single-job endpoint upstream, so this scans the most recent pages (~3) to find the matching slug. If the job has scrolled off the recent listings it cannot be retrieved — use search_jobs instead.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arbeitnow": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/arbeitnow/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/arbeitnow/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1872+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/arbeitnow_list_jobs \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"page":1,"remote_only":false}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/arbeitnow_list_jobs. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arbeitnow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-arbeitnow"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-arbeitnow

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Arbeitnow data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
