How to connect Guap to Claude and search for jobs in your chat

Claude is good at talking things through. Guap has the jobs, your profile and your applications. Connect the two and you can run your job search from a normal Claude chat, without copying job ads back and forth.

Once Guap is connected, you can ask Claude to:

• Find jobs that fit you. Claude searches the open roles on Guap and sees a rough fit score for each one, worked out from your Guap profile.
• Explain a role. Ask what a job really involves, what it asks for and how you would apply.
• Save jobs to your list, so they are waiting in Guap later.
• Check your profile. Claude can read it, point out what is missing and suggest changes. It shows you each change before making it.
• Work on your CV. Claude can read your CVs and help you tailor one to a job, using only facts from your own profile.
• Draft an application. Claude fills in what Guap already knows and tells you what is still missing. You approve it in Guap before it goes anywhere.
• Tell you where things stand with the applications you have sent.

• A Guap job seeker account. If you do not have one yet, sign up with your email. Guap signs you in with a code sent to your inbox, so there is no password to remember.
• A Claude account. Claude says custom connectors work on its Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. On the Free plan you can have one custom connector at a time.
• A browser. Add the connector on claude.ai or in Claude Desktop.

On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an owner of your organization adds the connector first. After that, you connect to it yourself from the same Connectors page.

1. Open the Guap setup page and click Add to Claude. Go to guap.work/mcp. The button opens Claude with the connector name and address already filled in.
2. Check the details and click Add. The name should be Guap and the address should be https://api.guap.work/user/mcp.
3. Sign in to Guap and approve. Claude opens a Guap page. Sign in with the code from your email, tick what Claude may do, and click Approve. If no Guap page opens, click Connect next to Guap on the Connectors page.
4. Ask Claude about jobs. Start a new chat and ask something like "Find me junior marketing jobs in Berlin". Claude uses Guap to answer.

Prefer to add it by hand? In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors. Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Guap, paste https://api.guap.work/user/mcp as the address and click Add. You do not need anything under Advanced settings.

If Claude does not use Guap in a chat, click the + button at the bottom left of the chat, open Connectors and check that Guap is switched on for that conversation.

Talk to it the way you would talk to a friend who knows the job market. Some prompts to try:

• "Find me remote junior design jobs and rank them by how well they fit my profile."
• "Which of these roles would suit someone who just finished a business degree?"
• "What is missing from my Guap profile that employers usually ask for?"
• "Save the second and third jobs to my list."
• "Help me tailor my CV for the product analyst role."
• "Draft an application for the top one and tell me what you still need from me."
• "Where are my applications at? Has anyone replied?"

When you connect, Guap shows you a page that lists what Claude is asking for, and you choose. Reading jobs, your profile and your CVs, and drafting applications, start ticked. Sending applications and spending credits never start ticked: you have to choose them yourself.

• Nothing goes to an employer without you. When Claude wants to send an application, it gives you a link to a Guap page. There you check every answer, fill in the consent questions yourself and approve or decline.
• Sensitive details stay out. Claude never sees your visa status, gender, ethnicity, disability, veteran status or pronouns. It only learns whether you have filled them in.
• Some things only you can change. Claude cannot edit your name, email, phone or location. You change those in Guap.
• Every action is logged. Guap keeps a list of what Claude did, which you can read in your settings.

Whatever Claude reads from Guap is sent to Anthropic, the company behind Claude, and is handled under its terms.

You can stop it at any time, from either side:

• In Guap: open Settings, then Connected AI apps, and disconnect Claude. The same page shows what Claude did while it was connected.
• In Claude: open Customize, then Connectors, and click Remove next to Guap, or use the three dots beside it.

• Claude says you have reached your connector limit. On the Free plan you can have one custom connector. Remove the one you have, or move to a paid Claude plan.
• Guap says this account cannot connect apps. Only job seeker accounts can connect an AI to Guap for now. Sign in with your job seeker account instead of a business account.
• The Guap page says the link has expired. Sign-in links last a short time. Go back to Connectors in Claude and connect again.
• You do not see Add custom connector at work. On Team and Enterprise plans, ask an owner of your Claude organization to add Guap first.
• Claude answers without Guap. Check Guap is switched on for the chat under + and Connectors, or simply ask "Use Guap to find..."
