workday-careers

Workday Careers MCP server

Registry name: io.github.johnisanerd/workday-careers. Maintained by AlphaOSINT (Apify developer johnvc, GitHub johnisanerd).

What it does

List every job on a company's Workday careers site with title, location, posted date, full description, pay range when published, employment type, remote status and apply link.

When to use it

Jobs straight from the employer's own careers site, including roles that never reach job boards. Use it for hiring-signal research, job monitoring at target companies and job search agents.

How it works

The server runs on Apify's hosted MCP endpoint, so there is nothing to install or host. Its URL pins one Actor with ?tools=johnvc/workday-careers-api, which gives your agent a single tool, johnvc--workday-careers-api, whose parameters are the Actor's typed input schema. The agent can call that tool directly without searching for an Actor first, and it can't start other Actors through this server. For general access to the whole Apify Store, use https://mcp.apify.com without the tools parameter.

Pricing

Each tool call runs the Apify Actor johnvc/workday-careers-api on your own Apify account and is billed there at the Actor's prices:

Charge	Price (USD)	What it covers
Job result	$0.0001	Charged once per job posting returned to the dataset. Error rows are never charged.
Actor start	$0.001	Charged once when a run starts.

Free-plan rates as of 2026-11-13; paid Apify plans pay less per event. Current prices are on the Actor's page: https://apify.com/johnvc/workday-careers-api

Endpoint

Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, and paste the URL. Older versions without remote connectors can bridge through mcp-remote in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workday-careers": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",

      ]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	What it does
johnvc--workday-careers-api	Runs the Actor with the parameters below and returns the result rows.
get-actor-run	Status of a run the tool started (for long runs).
get-dataset-items	Pages through a run's full output when it is larger than the inline result.
get-key-value-store-record	Reads a record a run stored.
abort-actor-run	Stops a run.

Apify's endpoint adds the four helper tools whenever an Actor tool is loaded.

Parameters of johnvc--workday-careers-api

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	yes	[{"url": "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday"}]	REQUIRED. One or more Workday careers site URLs. Every public form works: https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, locale variants like https://intel.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External, and the m…
searchText	string		""	Optional keyword query passed to the site's own job search (matches titles and descriptions the same way the search box on the careers page does). Leave empty to return every job.
maxJobsPerSite	integer		0	Soft cap on jobs returned per start URL. 0 means all jobs on the site. Useful to keep test runs small and cheap.
includeDetails	boolean		true	When true (default), the actor opens each job's detail record to add the full description, exact ISO posted and end dates, employment type, all locations, country, and apply URL. When false, only the fast list fields ar…
descriptionFormat	string: both, html, text		"both"	Format of the job description fields when details are fetched: 'html' keeps the original rich text, 'text' returns clean plain text, 'both' (default) returns both fields.
postedAfter	string			Optional ISO date filter (YYYY-MM-DD). Only jobs posted on or after this date are returned. Requires 'Fetch full job details', because the list endpoint carries only relative dates ('Posted Today', 'Posted 30+ Days Ago'…
detailConcurrency	integer		5	How many job-detail requests run in parallel (1 to 10, default 5). The actor always paces list pages and backs off politely on rate limits; raise this only for very large sites.

Example

Ask the agent in plain language, or call johnvc--workday-careers-api with arguments such as:

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://workday.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Workday"
    }
  ],
  "searchText": "",
  "maxJobsPerSite": 50
}
