MCP Server

Skilark MCP Server adds real-time job market intelligence to your AI assistant. It gives Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini awareness of skill demand, hiring trends, and job opportunities — context they don't have on their own.

Setup

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skilark": {
      "url": "https://mcp.skilark.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server. Enter the URL:

https://mcp.skilark.com/mcp

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skilark": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.skilark.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Note: gemini mcp add writes url instead of httpUrl — you must manually edit the file to use httpUrl.
