How to use searchnapply

How to use the website step by step, how to connect your own AI agent, and how to run your job search from it.

Use the website

1.Create your account

2.Set up your profile

Upload your resume and we'll fill your profile for you, or answer a few short steps by hand. You can change anything later. Resumes are PDF or DOCX up to 4.5 MB.

Profile setup. Screenshot of the app.

3.Search

Type a job title and a place. The filter button opens the rest: Roles, Work format, Date posted, Companies, Department, Experience level, Employment type, Salary range and keywords. Open a posting to read it next to the list.

Job search with the filters open — Job search. Screenshot of the app, example data.

4.Save a monitor

Press Create monitor. We keep running the search, and new matching postings show up in your notifications as soon as we find them. Each monitor sorts its postings into New, Applied and Skipped.

5.Apply with a tailored resume

Press Start application on a posting. We write a resume and a cover letter for it from your profile. Review them, download the PDFs and apply on the employer's page, then mark the posting applied. searchnapply does not apply on your behalf.

6.Pick the AI model

In Settings, AI, pick the default model for every new resume and cover letter. Your assistant over MCP always picks its own.

7.Track applications

Applications keeps every posting you applied to, with its date, status and the documents you sent.

Connect your AI agent

searchnapply speaks MCP, the open protocol AI assistants use to call tools. One URL, the same for every client:

https://api.searchnapply.com/mcp

Signing in happens in your browser. The client opens searchnapply, you approve what it asks for, and the connection is live. You never paste a key anywhere.

Muse

Meta's help center does not describe adding a connector by its MCP URL in the Muse app; it says you ask Muse to create a custom connector and Muse guides you. [needs: confirm in the Muse app that a custom MCP URL is accepted]

Muse Code, Meta's terminal agent, takes MCP servers in the mcp_servers block of its settings file:

"searchnapply": { "transport": "streamable_http", "url": "https://api.searchnapply.com/mcp" }

Then sign in with muse mcp login searchnapply.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http searchnapply https://api.searchnapply.com/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and follow the browser sign-in.

Run your job search with your agent

Talk to your assistant in your own words. These are examples; each line names the tool it calls.

Ask for jobs: "Find remote senior product manager roles in the US." It searches and lists title, company, location, salary and a link. search_postings
Ask it to open one: "Open the second one." It reads the full posting. get_posting
Ask for a tailored resume or cover letter: "Tailor my resume for it." It reads the posting and your profile, asks about any gaps, then writes it with you. get_profile
Ask it to watch the search: "Watch this search for me." A monitor needs a title and one real place. create_monitor
Come back later: "What's new in my monitors?" list_monitors, check_monitor
Tell it what you did: "I applied to this one" or "Skip it." Both can be undone. mark_applied, skip_posting

Your assistant never applies to a job for you. Over MCP it spends none of your monthly tokens.

Access and turning it off

The consent screen lists exactly this, and nothing is granted until you approve it:

Read your profile
Search job postings
Create and manage your job monitors
Stay connected between conversations

The connection reads and writes only what you could do on the site yourself. It never applies to a job for you.

Disconnect the connector in your assistant, or end the connection from here: open Account settings and revoke the row under Active sessions. The next call from that assistant is refused until you connect again.
