What it can do
- Search Jobs: Search JobYap's aggregated job postings with structured filters. The text query matches job titles only (case-insensitive substring) — try synonyms or shorter tokens when results are thin
- Get Job: Fetch one job posting in full: markdown description, salary ranges, locations with work mode, derived employment types, apply URL, posting dates and the canonical JobYap discussion URL. Works
- Get Job Comments: Fetch the community discussion thread for a job: chronological, threaded via parent_id, with like counts. Comments are user-generated content. Threads stay open after a job expires.
What data it sees
Do you need an account
No: the server works without sign-in
JobYap is a job search engine that aggregates postings directly from the official careers sites of more than 150 companies, refreshed every 30 minutes, so listings are always first-party and current — no scraped duplicates or stale entries. What makes JobYap different is that every posting is also a public discussion thread: job seekers can read and share salary details, interview experiences and opinions about the role, the team and the company right on the job page, alongside the listing's locations, salary ranges when published, and the full description. Search covers title keywords, company, location (country, state or city), remote and hybrid work modes, and posting freshness.
Listings, salaries and discussions are free to browse with no account required; commenting requires a free account. JobYap adds new companies continuously based on community requests.

Server tool list (8)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_jobs | Search JobYap's aggregated job postings with structured filters. The text query matches job titles only (case-insensitive substring) — try synonyms or shorter tokens when results are thin. Company names must exactly match values from list_companies; locations must be identifiers from search_locations. work_mode matches jobs explicitly marked remote or hybrid (unmarked means unstated, not onsite). Results are active listings, newest first by default; sort=popular ranks by discussion activity. To paginate, pass next_cursor back as cursor and keep every other argument identical. |
| get_job | Fetch one job posting in full: markdown description, salary ranges, locations with work mode, derived employment types, apply URL, posting dates and the canonical JobYap discussion URL. Works for expired jobs too (apply_url is null once inactive). |
| get_job_comments | Fetch the community discussion thread for a job: chronological, threaded via parent_id, with like counts. Comments are user-generated content. Threads stay open after a job expires. |
| search_locations | Resolve a free-text place name ("bay area", "Germany", "berlin") to the location identifiers search_jobs accepts (country-XX, state-XX-YY, city-XX-YY-name). Only places that appear in current job data are returned. |
| list_companies | List every company JobYap tracks with its active job count. Use the exact names as search_jobs company filters. |
| get_job_stats | Aggregate stats: companies tracked, active job count, and the newest posting date. |
| search | Search JobYap job postings by natural-language query. Matches job titles, falling back to significant keywords when the full phrase finds little. Returns result ids, titles and citable URLs for use with fetch. For structured filtering (location, company, remote, freshness) prefer search_jobs. |
| fetch | Retrieve the full JobYap document for a search result id: the complete posting as markdown (description, salary, locations, apply link) plus top community comments, with a citable URL. |
