Ats Zero Browser Gateway MCP Server

Workday, Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby Jobs API — MCP server + Apify Actor

Get every open job from company career sites running Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby as clean, normalized JSON — with change tracking: only the jobs that were added, updated or closed since your last run. No browser, no login, no proxies.

This repository contains the MCP server and integration templates. The extraction engine runs as a hosted, maintained Actor on Apify:

→ ginugokz/ats-zero-browser-gateway on Apify

---

What you get

• One schema for 4 applicant tracking systems — Workday (myworkdayjobs.com, myworkdaysite.com), Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby.
• Change tracking (only_deltas) — receive only ADDED, UPDATED and REMOVED jobs since the previous run. Built for daily monitoring in n8n, Make, Zapier, Clay or your own pipeline.
• Salary text extracted when the posting publishes it (compensation_raw).
• Privacy by default — recruiter emails and phone numbers are removed from descriptions.
• Fast — around 40 detailed Workday jobs in about 10 seconds, with no headless browser.

Supported career sites

Pass full career-site URLs: the ATS is detected from the host. To find one, open the company's careers page, click any job and copy the address up to the board or site name.

Quick start

1. No code

Open the Actor on Apify, paste one or more career-site URLs and click Start. Export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or schedule the Actor to run daily.

2. HTTP API (any language)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ginugokz~ats-zero-browser-gateway/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "targets": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe", "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ramp"],
        "only_deltas": true,
        "max_jobs": 100
      }'

Get your API token at console.apify.com/settings/integrations.

3. Python

import os, requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ginugokz~ats-zero-browser-gateway/run-sync-get-dataset-items",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN']}"},
    json={"targets": ["https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"], "only_deltas": True},
    timeout=320,
)
for job in resp.json():
    print(job["delta_status"], job["title"], job["url"])

4. MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients

Hosted (nothing to install): add the Apify MCP server with this Actor as a tool:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=ginugokz/ats-zero-browser-gateway

Local (this repository):

pip install "mcp>=1.2"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ats-jobs": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp_server.py"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<your Apify API token>" }
    }
  }
}

Tool exposed: scrape_ats_jobs(urls, only_deltas=False, max_jobs=40, include_details=True). The server starts without a token; the token is only needed when the tool is called.

5. n8n

Import templates/n8n_ats_delta_monitor.json: it runs every 12 hours, calls the Actor with only_deltas and full_scan, and routes new, closed and edited jobs to three outputs (connect them to Slack, email or Sheets). Authentication: create a Header Auth credential with Name Authorization and Value Bearer <your Apify API token>, then select it in the HTTP Request node.

Output

One item per job. Real item from a run on 16 October 2026; locations (13 entries) and description_html are shortened here:

{
  "source_system": "workday_cxs",
  "company_tenant": "nvidia",
  "site_id": "NVIDIAExternalCareerSite",
  "requisition_id": "JR1999579",
  "title": "Senior HPC Architect, Automation and At-Scale Deployment",
  "url": "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/US-CA-Santa-Clara/Senior-HPC-Architect_JR1999579",
  "locations": ["US, CA, Santa Clara", "US, TX, Remote", "US, CO, Remote"],
  "posted_date": "2026-10-15",
  "employment_type": "Full time",
  "remote_type": null,
  "compensation_raw": "184,000 USD - 287,500 USD",
  "description_html": "<p>NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. …</p>",
  "delta_status": "ADDED",
  "summary_hash": "ec90f0b7cd647ca6",
  "detail_hash": "2f3177f5f974d75c",
  "scraped_at": "2026-10-16T04:50:18.026337+00:00"
}

source_system is workday_cxs, greenhouse, lever or ashby. compensation_raw is filled only when the posting publishes a salary.

How change tracking works

The tracking state is stored in a named key-value store in your own Apify account. To track closed jobs on large career sites, set full_scan: true (summary mode, up to 5,000 jobs per site); a partial read never reports REMOVED.

Pricing

Pay-per-event on Apify: you pay per job delivered plus a small fee per run. Current prices are on the Actor's Pricing tab. Apify's free plan includes monthly usage credit for testing.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads the same public job-board endpoints that companies' own career pages use to show their openings. No login is used. It returns job postings, not personal profiles, and strips recruiter emails and phone numbers.

Why isn't the extraction engine in this repository? It runs as a managed service on Apify so that fixes for changing ATS endpoints reach every user immediately. This repository is the client side: MCP server, API examples and workflow templates.

Can I monitor hundreds of companies? Yes — pass them all in targets in one run and schedule it daily with only_deltas: true.
