Why Headcount Labs
Tools agents understand
search_jobs, count_jobs and get_job take plain filters such as title, city, state and posted date, and page with a cursor.
Asks before a big spend
When one search would use more than a set share of the month’s jobs (25% by default), the agent stops and asks the user first.
Links it can act on
Every job carries a direct link to the employer’s application page, so an agent can move from search to apply.
How it works
Ask your agent in plain words. It calls Headcount Labs through MCP, or your code calls the same filters over the REST API.
Find every open registered nurse job in New York City and apply to the ones that fit my resume.
count_jobs{ filters: { title: "registered nurse", city: "New York", state: "NY", active: true } }
search_jobs{ filters: { title: "registered nurse", city: "New York", state: "NY", active: true }, limit: 25 }
