# LaborIQ MCP Server

LaborIQ salary and labor-market data for AI assistants, via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).

Registry name: `co.laboriq/mcp-server`

> This is a documentation-only repository. The server is hosted by LaborIQ; no server code lives here.

## Tool

**`get_salary_data`**: give it a job title and a US city/state, and it returns the median salary. Pro-tier keys return richer data, including salary forecasts.

## Connection

| | |
|---|---|
| Server URL | `https://mcp.laboriq.co/mcp` |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Auth header | `x-api-key: <your-key>` |

## Get an API key

- **Free:** request one by email at https://laboriq.co/mcp
- **Pro:** issued from the LaborIQ portal

## Setup

Add this to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), replacing `<your-key>`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laboriq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://mcp.laboriq.co/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key:<your-key>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Clients that support remote Streamable HTTP servers directly can instead connect to `https://mcp.laboriq.co/mcp` with the `x-api-key` header.
