Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Only Hiring lists hiring posts from Reddit's job subreddits (r/forhire, r/hiring, r/RemoteJobs and more): freelance, remote, part-time, contract and one-off paid tasks. [For Hire] self-promotion, discussion and spam are filtered out, and a language model gives each job a 0–1 scam score. - Use search_jobs to find jobs, get_job for one job's full details and the reasons behind its scam score, and list_subreddits to see which subreddits are covered. - Jobs scoring 0.4 or more carry a warning, and 0.6 or more are likely scams, left out of searches unless asked for. Always pass a job's warning on to the user. - Applications happen on Reddit, through the original post. Give the user the Only Hiring link and the Reddit link for each job you mention. - Not for: jobs from outside Reddit, posting a job, finding freelancers, or applying on the user's behalf.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http only-hiring-mcp https://onlyhiring.hassandev.me/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add only-hiring-mcp --url https://onlyhiring.hassandev.me/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable only-hiring-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "only-hiring-mcp": {
      "url": "https://onlyhiring.hassandev.me/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http only-hiring-mcp https://onlyhiring.hassandev.me/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
