MCP connector

Run your job board from ChatGPT or Claude.

Kardow runs a hosted MCP server. Connect it once and manage your board by asking: post a job from a link, approve what is pending, publish a page, or pull last month's numbers.

Things people actually ask it.

These are real prompts against a connected board. The assistant calls the tool, the change happens on your site.

Post this job to my board: careers.example.com/jobs/123

List my pending jobs and publish the ones from Acme Corp

Show me jobs posted this week with their salaries and share links

Write a blog post about remote hiring trends, add a cover image, and publish it

How did my board perform in the last 30 days compared with the previous period?

Connected in three steps.

Step 1

Create an API key

In your Kardow dashboard, go to Settings > API and create a key. The connector can only do what that key is allowed to do, with the same rate limits as the REST API.

Step 2

Add the connector

In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector pointing at https://mcp.kardow.com. Claude and ChatGPT cannot send custom headers, so the key goes in the URL as ?key=YOUR_API_KEY.

Step 3

Start asking

Open a new chat and the Kardow tools appear. Ask for what you want in plain language and the assistant does it on your board.

What the assistant can do.

Every tool runs through your own API key, so it can only do what that key is allowed to do.

API reference

Questions

What is the Kardow MCP server?

A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.kardow.com that exposes your Kardow job board as tools an AI assistant can call. It lets Claude or ChatGPT post jobs, approve listings, publish pages, upload images and read analytics on your board.

Does it work with ChatGPT as well as Claude?

Yes. Claude connects it as a custom connector on claude.ai, Claude Desktop or Claude Code. ChatGPT connects it through Settings > Connectors > Advanced > Developer mode, which is available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education plans on the web.

Is it safe to connect?

The connector uses your own Kardow API key and can only do what that key permits, with the same rate limits as the REST API. Because Claude and ChatGPT cannot send custom headers, the key sits in the connector URL, so treat that whole URL as a secret. You can revoke a key at any time from Settings > API.

Which plan do I need?

API access is included on Pro and Scale. The MCP connector uses the same API key, so any plan with API access can use it.
