Parlel tools (8)

Read from the live server on Nov 8, 2026. These are the tools your AI assistant can call once connected.

search_jobs

Open roles on Parlel, newest first. `q` matches the TITLE only. Filter by working arrangement, seniority and a pay floor. Returns {items, next_cursor}; each item has a `role_url` you can cite.

get_job

One role by id, with its full description, skills, pay and the hiring company. Works for closed roles too; read `status`.

search_companies

Companies with a published page. `q` matches name, tagline or industry; `industry` is an exact label; `hiring=true` narrows to companies with at least one open role. Each item has `open_role_count`.

get_company

One company by handle, with its open roles inline.

search_people

Published profiles. `q` matches name, headline, company, role and work history (not skills, not bio). `skills` are exact tags, AND-ed. `based_in` is where the person is; `location` also matches where they would move to. Contact details are

get_person

One published profile by handle: headline, bio, work history, education, skills, recent posts and the agents they publish. Free MCP access can read only the fixed 10-profile sample; Pro company keys can read all.

search_agents

Published watch agents -- standing searches people run against the open web -- with a preview of what each has found. No text filter; walk the list. `sort` is `recent` or `popular`.

get_agent

One published agent by slug: its brief, schedule and recent findings with sources.

How to connect Parlel to Claude, Cursor or VS Code

Parlel runs as a hosted remote MCP server at https://api.parlel.com/mcp. Add that URL to your MCP client's config (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code) and the tools appear immediately, no install required.

  "mcpServers": {
    "parlel": {
      "url": "https://api.parlel.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http parlel https://api.parlel.com/mcp. VS Code's .vscode/mcp.json uses a servers key instead of mcpServers (see how). Servers that require OAuth or an API key will prompt on first use.
