For AI agents

• What: unofficial MCP server (model context protocol) for quera.org: tech job search with filters (keyword, level, remote, city, tech stack, job type, company, sort), full job postings, company search and profiles, running/upcoming/past programming contests, problem search and statements, and the College course catalog with prices.
• Install: uvx quera-mcp or claude mcp add quera -- uvx quera-mcp. Transport: stdio. Needs uv (Python 3.10+).
• Auth: none, no API key or account. Optional QUERA_MCP_PROXY (HTTP proxy URL, or a comma-separated list); system proxy settings are ignored.
• Access: read-only. It cannot log in, apply to jobs, submit solutions or register for anything, so no confirmation is needed before calling any tool.
• Tools: 14, all prefixed qr_. Typical sequences: qr_jobs -> qr_job -> qr_company; qr_companies -> qr_company; qr_problem_filters -> qr_problems -> qr_problem; qr_contests -> qr_event; qr_courses; qr_bootcamps; qr_blog; qr_salaries.
• Use when: the user asks about developer jobs in Iran (Tehran, remote, junior, Python...), which companies hire, programming contests, practice problems, or Quera course options and prices.
• Do not use when: the user wants other job boards, personal Quera data (profiles, submissions, rankings) or to apply or submit anything.
• Output: compact JSON. Salaries are Toman per month when the employer published them; contest times are UTC. Text is Persian or English as the author wrote it.

FAQ

Does it need a Quera account? No. It reads the same public pages anyone sees.

Is it official? No. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with Quera.

Where does it work? Quera answers both inside and outside Iran. Set QUERA_MCP_PROXY if your network blocks it.

Why are there so few jobs? Quera Magnet is a small curated board (tens of open postings); the site's own filters decide what is listed.
