How to use Google Jobs with Cursor

You want Google Jobs inside Cursor so it can find matching job postings, compare roles across employers, monitor a recurring job search, and build a shortlist for a hiring plan — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Google Jobs gateway

The gateway is the thing Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Google Jobs tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

  1. Create an Arcade account

    Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.

  2. Create an MCP Gateway and select your Google Jobs tools

    In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Google Jobs tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.

  3. Copy your gateway URL

    Every client below needs it.

    https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>

Create a Google Jobs gateway Opens the gateway builder in your Arcade dashboard.

Connect the gateway to Cursor

Heads up

Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.

  1. Open MCP settings

    Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.

  2. Add the gateway to mcpServers

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-arcade": {
          "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>"
        }
      }
    }

  3. Try it out

    Ask Cursor to use one of your Google Jobs tools.

Try these job-search prompts

Cursor can now act on your Google Jobs account. Click a prompt to copy it.

Use a shared API key and limit access to job-search requests. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can search listings without gaining access to other systems.
