A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for querying **Y Combinator** jobs and companies via [Work at a Startup](https://www.workatastartup.com).

This MCP server equips AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity) with direct access to search YC startups, explore active job listings, inspect tech stacks, filter by required skills, salary ranges, equity, and US visa sponsorship status.

---

## 🛠️ Features & Available Tools

The server provides 4 FastMCP tools:

1. **`search_jobs`**: Search YC startup job listings with advanced filters.
   - `query` (str): Search term (e.g. `"backend"`, `"AI agent"`, `"Rust"`).
   - `role` (Optional[str]): Functional role (`"eng"`, `"design"`, `"product"`, `"ops"`, `"sales"`, `"marketing"`).
   - `eng_type` (Optional[str]): Engineering specialization (`"be"`, `"fe"`, `"fs"`, `"ml"`, `"mobile"`).
   - `remote` (bool): Filter for remote positions (`True` / `False`).
   - `visa` (bool): Filter for US visa sponsorship (`True` / `False`).
   - `page` (int): Page index (default `0`).
   - `limit` (int): Number of companies per page (default `10`).

2. **`get_company_details`**: Fetch detailed YC company profile & open roles.
   - `company_id` (int): Unique YC company ID.
   - Returns: YC Batch, website, team size, location, founders, tech stack description, and active open job listings.

3. **`get_job_details`**: Retrieve full details for a specific job listing.
   - `job_id` (int): Unique job ID.
   - Returns: Full job description (Markdown), role type, experience level, salary range, equity range, visa status, required skills, and direct application URL.

4. **`filter_jobs_by_skills`**: Filter active jobs matching a list of target technologies/skills.
   - `skills` (List[str]): List of skills/technologies (e.g., `["Python", "PyTorch", "PostgreSQL"]`).
   - `limit` (int): Maximum number of matching jobs to return (default `10`).
