## FAQs

### Which AI agents work with Himalayas?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers, including Claude (web, Desktop, mobile and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Zed, Grok Bot, Hermes, OpenClaw and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

### Do I need to install anything?

No. The server is hosted at https://mcp.himalayas.app/mcp, so your client connects to the URL directly, with no API key, Node.js or mcp-remote. Only a client that runs local servers alone needs the mcp-remote bridge, which uses Node.js. See the [MCP docs](https://himalayas.app/docs/remote-jobs-mcp).

### How does my agent sign in to Himalayas?

Job, company and salary search need no sign-in. The first time your agent needs your profile, tracker or company, it opens a Himalayas sign-in page in your browser (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE). Your agent never sees your password, the connection only gets the access you approve, and tokens refresh on their own. Employer tools also need an account linked to a company.

### What can the agent do for me, and what can it not do?

It can search jobs, research companies and salaries, tailor a resume and cover letter, update your tracker and profile, reply to companies, post jobs and message candidates. It does not submit applications: it gives you the employer's application link, marks the job applied in your tracker, and you submit the application yourself. Payments happen on Stripe in your own browser. Apply links are limited to 50 a day per account, and candidate searches and profile views to 100 a day.

### Is it free?

Yes. The MCP server is free and needs no API key. Search, the tracker, your profile and applying are free with a Himalayas account. [Himalayas Plus](https://himalayas.app/plus) ($9/month) adds tailored resumes and cover letters for every job, new matches between sessions and spoken interview practice. Employers post jobs for free, with optional paid extras.

### What data can the agent see?

Without signing in: public job listings, company profiles, salary benchmarks and remote work statistics. Once you sign in and approve access: your profile, application tracker, tailored documents and inbox, and for employers your company, its jobs and candidate conversations. The [privacy policy](https://himalayas.app/privacy) covers how Himalayas handles your data.
