As someone who only casually follows this space, I'm not sure what to think. This is clever, but can someone explain whether this makes any practical sense? Is there any chance that a recruiter's AI will actually consume this service? Wouldn't it have to be manually configured to do so?
Maybe this anticipates a future where AIs discover and consume these services automatically?
Of course, even if this isn't practically useful, it's cool and maybe will help this person to stand out, at least insofar as it demonstrated that Jake is a clever person who knows how to use MCP.
I ended up building the first couple of iterations of this tool just to stop entering the same information into Claude for every new conversation.
By connecting an assistant to a job searching api, a database, and context about myself I am able to create a prompt such as "find interesting jobs for jake. maybe something in the ai space?" and in a few minutes I can browse a curated list of potential job matches.
By connecting the assistant to text to speech and speech to text tools and context about myself I can provide a the job description in my prompt and request the assistant play the role of an interviewer. This has been much nicer than practicing in the mirror.
I think that for the next few weeks/months that a hiring team connecting to my mcp server will play out well for me but I think you're in the right ball park. It will be because I was able to show that I can extract value from technology.
