Freshcontext MCP Server

I asked Claude to help me find a job. It gave me a list of openings. I applied to three of them. Two didn't exist anymore. One had been closed for two years.

People who work with context, freshness and webscraping and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
