This MCP server gives you real-time access to Himalayas.app’s remote job database from your AI assistant. You can search for remote job listings and explore company profiles using natural language prompts, then apply directly through the results. It streamlines finding 100% remote opportunities and researching remote-friendly companies.

How to use

Connect to Himalayas MCP with your chosen MCP client, then ask for jobs or company data using natural phrases. You can search for keywords, locations, and remote-only options, or browse the latest listings and company profiles. Typical workflows include: finding remote Python or React roles, filtering by country or worldwide remote availability, or discovering AI startups with remote opportunities. When you query, you’ll receive structured results with job titles, companies, locations, salaries, skills, and direct application links, along with company details when available.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your computer to use the MCP clients that run via npx. If you don’t have Node.js, install it from the official source for your operating system.

Choose an MCP client and configure the Himalayas MCP server connection as shown in the following options. Use the exact commands and snippets to ensure proper connection.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "himalayas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.himalayas.app/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Additional setup options for MCP clients

Claude Desktop and Windsurf, Cursor, and other MCP-enabled clients can connect using the exact configurations below. After you add the configuration, restart your client and complete the OAuth flow if prompted.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "himalayas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.himalayas.app/sse"]
    }
  }
}

OAuth and first use

When you first connect, a browser window will open to complete OAuth authorization. Finish the flow in your browser so the Himalayas MCP tools become available in your client. After authorization, you can access the Job Search Tools and Company Search Tools directly from the tools interface.

Troubleshooting during setup

If you encounter connection or authentication issues, restart your MCP client after applying the configuration, ensure you are using the correct MCP URL, and complete the OAuth flow in the browser window that opens. If problems persist, clear any cached authentication data and try again.

Security and access notes

Only connect to trusted MCP endpoints. Keep your OAuth credentials confidential and avoid sharing your configuration file with untrusted parties. If you suspect your token or session is compromised, revoke access and re-authenticate.
