JobVerify MCP server

Check a recruiter or job offer for scam signs before you reply, right inside your AI chat.

JobVerify is a free helper that checks whether a recruiter message, company name, link, or email looks like a scam. You paste what you got into your AI chat and ask if it is real. It is handy for anyone job hunting, especially for remote roles, who gets messages from strangers.

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 program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to JobVerify, which looks things up in public records and scam databases for you. So when you ask your AI about a suspicious job offer, it can actually go check instead of just guessing.

What this MCP server does

You paste a recruiter message, a company name, a link, or an email into your AI chat. Your AI passes it to JobVerify, which pulls out the details like the company, links, email, phone, and crypto wallet addresses. JobVerify then quietly checks each one against free public sources: business registries, domain records, scam blocklists, the Internet Archive, and more. It combines the clues into one clear verdict: looks legit, be careful, or almost certainly a scam. Then it explains why in everyday words so you can decide what to do next.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Is this recruiter legit? Here is the message I got”, the JobVerify MCP server reaches Business registries, Domain records, Scam blocklists and Internet Archive, and you get back looks legit, be careful, or scam.

Try asking your AI

“Is this recruiter legit? Here is the message I got: Hi, I'm a talent partner at Example Corp. We loved your profile and want to offer you a remote role at $45/hr. To get started, please purchase $200 of onboarding equipment through this link. Let's continue on Telegram.”
“Can you check if examplecorp.com is a real company website?”
“Is this email address real: hr@examplecorp-jobs.com”
“Check this crypto wallet address they sent me: 1A2B3C4D5E6F”

What it gives back to you

You get a short, plain-English verdict in the chat: how risky it looks, which signals are reassuring, and which are red flags. It explains its reasoning in everyday language, so you can see why it reached that conclusion. It may also list the specific details it checked, like the company registration, domain age, or blocklist results. It is guidance, not a final judgment, so you still decide what to do.

Good to know

JobVerify gives you signals and guidance, not a final verdict, so always use your own judgment and never treat a result as a definite statement about a real person or company.
