FoundRole Jobs MCP server
by foundrole
Ask your AI for jobs and get live openings with pay, visa and ghost-posting checks, plus a tracker.
This connects your AI assistant to FoundRole, a job board with a built-in application tracker. Once it is set up, you can ask for jobs in plain words and get real openings back, each one checked for pay, visa sponsorship and whether it looks like a ghost posting. It is handy if you are job hunting and already use ChatGPT, Claude or a similar assistant.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper that gives it a new skill, in this case a connection to FoundRole's job board and tracker. When you ask for jobs, your AI passes the request to this helper, the helper talks to FoundRole, and the results come back into your chat. You sign in once through your browser, and after that your assistant can search, save and track jobs for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like find remote React jobs in New York paying over 130k. Your AI sends that to the FoundRole helper, which searches live openings pulled from company career pages. The helper also checks each posting for ghost-posting risk, real pay, and whether the company has sponsored visas before. The results come back in your chat, and you can save any of them to your tracker or set a reminder. Everything uses the same FoundRole account you would see on the website.

What it gives back to you
You get back a list of real job openings with details like company, location, pay range and posting date. Each one comes with notes on ghost-posting risk, salary benchmarks and visa sponsorship history. You can also get match scores against your resume, a view of your tracker board, or a summary of your saved jobs. In some apps like ChatGPT, results show up as interactive panels instead of plain text.
