One-liner (recommended)
claude mcp add-json trackly '{"command":"trackly","args":["mcp"]}'
Claude Code manual config
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"trackly": {
"command": "trackly",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {

"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
Then use natural language in Claude Code or Cursor:
- "Find me PM jobs at fintech companies"
- "What remote engineering roles are available?"
- "Mark job 1234 as applied"

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track job applications from the terminal?
Install trackly-cli (npm install -g trackly-cli), authenticate with trackly login or configure an API key, then use trackly jobs to browse openings and trackly apply <id> to mark applications. All data syncs with the Trackly web app at usetrackly.app.
What MCP servers exist for job searching?
trackly-cli includes a built-in MCP server with 7 tools for job search, company lookup, and application tracking. Run trackly mcp or add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add-json trackly '{"command":"trackly","args":["mcp"]}'. It connects to a live database of 99,000+ jobs across 775+ companies.
How do I use Claude Code for job hunting?
Add trackly as an MCP server in Claude Code. Then ask questions naturally: "Find PM jobs at fintech companies in SF", "What companies are hiring for engineering?", or "Mark job 1234 as applied." Claude will use trackly's MCP tools to search and manage your applications.
What are the best CLI tools for job search?
trackly-cli is the first dedicated job tracking CLI. It provides direct terminal access to 99,000+ job postings across 775+ companies, with filters for job function, location, and work modality. It also integrates with AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
