apply_job
Apply to a job on 104.com.tw. Requires being logged in. Optionally include a cover letter.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Reading costs nothing; only applying and saving want your account.
Searching jobs, opening a posting in full and pulling a company profile all work with no credentials, so the browse-and-shortlist half of a job hunt is something an assistant can do before you decide to sign in at all. When you do, nothing touches disk — tokens and cookies stay in memory for the life of the process and go with it. apply_job sends a real application with an optional cover letter, which makes it the one call worth confirming before it runs.
What it is
An unaffiliated MCP server for 104.com.tw, Taiwan's largest job platform. Four tools search and read job postings and company profiles with no account at all; signing in adds applying, bookmarking a job and following a company. The published package is mcp-104jobs.
What you get
- search_jobs filters listings by keyword, location, salary and remote work, and returns salary, location and the job code every other call needs
- get_job_detail returns the whole posting: description, requirements, salary, welfare and contact details
- search_companies returns company codes, industry, location and how many roles are open; get_company_detail adds the about text, products and benefits, with the current listings on request
- login and logout manage the session, apply_job submits an application with an optional cover letter, save_job bookmarks a posting and save_company follows an employer
- Locations use 104's own codes — 6001001000 for Taipei City, 6001002000 for New Taipei City, 6001005000 for Taichung City among them
Requirements
Runs over stdio as npx -y mcp-104jobs. The four read tools need no account. Applying and saving need a 104.com.tw account: login goes through 104's OIDC discovery flow (Ory Hydra with PKCE), and tokens and cookies are held only in memory for the life of the MCP process, refreshed when 104 issues a refresh token. The project is not affiliated with or endorsed by 104 Job Bank (104人力銀行), so use it within 104.com.tw's terms of service.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y mcp-104jobs
USE CASES

Shortlisting roles without opening a job board
Filter by keyword, city, salary and remote work, then open the postings worth reading in full — description, requirements, welfare and all.

Find the company by name, then read its profile — about, products, benefits — with its current openings attached.
03
Applying to a shortlist in one sitting
Sign in once, then submit each application with its own cover letter using the job codes the search already returned.

Keeping track of what caught your eye
Bookmark the postings you are not ready to apply to and follow the employers you want to hear from again.
