Startup Jobs MCP Server

Works in Claude on the web, desktop, and mobile.

1. Open Settings → Connectors
2. Add custom connector
3. Paste https://api.startup.jobs/mcp

Leave authentication empty for free tier. Optionally add a bearer API key for attribution or full access.

Run this in your terminal. The next time you start Claude Code, Startup Jobs will be available.

claude mcp add --transport http startup-jobs https://api.startup.jobs/mcp

Optional API key: add --header "Authorization: Bearer sj_YOUR_KEY".

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project), then restart Cursor.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-jobs": { "url": "https://api.startup.jobs/mcp" }
  }
}

Optional API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-jobs": {
      "url": "https://api.startup.jobs/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sj_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors
2. Enable developer mode
3. Add https://api.startup.jobs/mcp with no authentication

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP can connect. Point it at the endpoint — auth is optional for free tier.

URL

https://api.startup.jobs/mcp

Auth

None required. Optional Authorization: Bearer sj_YOUR_KEY (or X-Api-Key if your gateway reserves Authorization).

Most clients use a JSON config shaped like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-jobs": { "url": "https://api.startup.jobs/mcp" }
  }
}

Exact file paths differ by client (VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Zed, Codex, etc.). Check your client's MCP docs for where to paste the config.
