Map employment trends with Cascade and Adzuna Alternative

`get_categories` is the entry point for your AI client to understand where the jobs are. Cascade takes this sector data and immediately chains it with `get_geodata` to pinpoint active hiring regions without you having to ask twice. Instead of running manual searches, you give Cascade a goal to find high-growth sectors. It triggers `get_history` to pull historical trends and plots the trajectory right in your workspace.

Automate salary estimation with this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `get_jobsworth` to let Cascade estimate realistic salaries for complex roles. Your agent compares these estimates against live market postings using `search_jobs` to verify if a company's offer is competitive. Cascade doesn't stop at one lookup. It automatically pulls `get_histogram` to map out the entire salary distribution for the role, giving you a full compensation breakdown in seconds.

Track top hiring companies

Cascade uses `get_top_companies` to identify who is actively recruiting in specific sectors. This MCP tool lets you map this against the regional data it gets from `get_geodata` to build a localized hiring map. Because Cascade can chain commands, it takes those top companies, runs automated searches with `search_jobs`, and extracts their newest open roles. You get a curated list of targets without touching a browser.
