Collaborative Job Research with CrewAI

Instead of one agent running the search, you can assign Agent A to run `ziprecruiter_search_jobs` based on keywords. Then, Agent B takes that raw list and analyzes the salary variance. This role-based specialization means you get dedicated expertise: one agent gathers data, another critiques it, building a much deeper analysis than any single call.

Autonomous Job Monitoring with CrewAI MCP Server

You can set up an autonomous crew where the Monitor Agent watches the results of `ziprecruiter_search_jobs`. If the search yields too few results, a dedicated Escalation Agent jumps in to adjust the search parameters. This setup is perfect for continuously monitoring job markets and ensuring that no opportunity slips through the cracks.

Shared Memory Across Job Search Tools

The MCP ensures all agents share context. After Agent A uses `ziprecruiter_search_jobs`, its output is immediately available to Agent B for analysis, without needing manual data passing. The shared memory structure makes running multi-step processes incredibly straightforward; the crew knows exactly what the previous agent found.

Setup guide

Set up ZipRecruiter MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke ZipRecruiter tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="ZipRecruiter Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze ZipRecruiter data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct ZipRecruiter access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent ZipRecruiter transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)
