Jobvetta

name: Jobvetta
description: 'Jobvetta is a jobs API for India — live openings gathered and checked against official employer sources, exposed
  as a REST API and a hosted MCP server that share one key. Search by keyword, Indian city or state, and posting age; fetch
  full structured detail for a single job. It is India-only by design: non-Indian locations return no results. The MCP server
  answers tools/list without credentials, so an agent can discover the two tools before signing up, and installation is a
  single documented `claude mcp add` command. Free during early access, with a shared limit of 50 tool calls per day and up
  to 20 jobs per search across both surfaces.'

- name: Jobvetta REST API
  description: REST access to live, vetted India job openings. `GET /jobs` searches by keyword (`q`), Indian city or state
    (`location`), posting age in days (`days`, 1–365) and result count (`limit`, 1–20, default 10); a companion call returns
    full structured detail for one job. Authenticates with a bearer token in the Authorization header. Verified live — an
    unauthenticated call returns HTTP 401 with a JSON error pointing at the dashboard.

  description: 'Hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP with two tools — `search_jobs` (q, location, days, limit) and `get_job`
    (job_id). Discovery is public: tools/list answers without credentials, so a client can enumerate the tools before holding
    a key. A key is needed only to run them, and the same key covers the REST API.'

  parked_in_error: The add-API pipeline parked this submission on 2026-07-24 at confidence 5 with reason `no_consumable_surface`.
    That is wrong. The API is live and enforcing auth, the MCP server is hosted and answers tools/list unauthenticated, and
    both are documented with base URL, auth scheme and per-parameter tables. What is missing is a machine-readable OpenAPI
    — the gate appears unable to recognise an API that is documented in HTML but not specified. Same failure class as the
    Torry Harris parking. See api-evangelist/roadmap#3.
  defects_found:
    no_openapi: No OpenAPI document is published. The REST surface is documented only in HTML, so there is nothing machine-readable
      to harvest, score for contract depth, or generate clients from. This is the single highest-leverage thing they could
      add.
    no_llms_txt: No llms.txt, and no MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp.json, despite the docs referring to a "server card".
      Discovery works through tools/list alone.
  not_asserted:
    pricing: '"Free during early access" with a stated shared limit of 50 tool calls per day and 20 jobs per search. No machine-readable
      rate card or plan document exists, so plans and rate limits are not asserted as artifacts.'
  note: Recovered from the parked queue rather than submitted twice. The MCP property is emitted because the endpoint is hosted
    and reachable, not a local install.
