Job Search Tool

Local-first job search automation: collect jobs from multiple boards, score them against your own criteria, store them in SQLite, review them in a React dashboard, query them through REST, and expose the same data to MCP clients.

Features

• Multi-board ingestion through JobSpy.
• Configurable keyword scoring with separate save and notification thresholds.
• SQLite persistence with bookmarks, applied state, blacklist, and retention.
• React dashboard for review, filtering, analytics, cleanup, and CSV export.
• Local semantic search through ChromaDB's bundled ONNX embedder.
• Telegram notifications for high-scoring new jobs.
• Unified ASGI web server for dashboard, REST API, and MCP.
• Docker Compose deployment with localhost-first network defaults.

Docker Quick Start

1. Create your runtime configuration:

   cp config/settings.example.yaml settings.yaml

2. Edit settings.yaml, especially locations, queries, scoring, and optional Telegram settings.

3. Start the scheduler and web server:

   docker compose up -d

4. Open the dashboard:

   http://127.0.0.1:8501
   

The same web process exposes REST at http://127.0.0.1:8501/api and MCP at http://127.0.0.1:8501/mcp. Published ports bind to 127.0.0.1 by default. For trusted LAN use, set JOB_SEARCH_WEB_BIND=0.0.0.0 in .env and keep firewall rules tight.
