Find AI jobs with Timo Scout

Timo Scout lets your AI assistant search AI jobs, compare employer requirements and show direct application links. Ask for a shortlist based on the work you want, then open the roles that interest you.

Connect Timo Scout

The connector uses Model Context Protocol (MCP), the connection standard that lets your AI assistant call Scout’s job-search tools. Use this server address: https://mcp.timoscout.com/mcp. No Timo account, password or API key is needed.

In ChatGPT

Start signed in to ChatGPT in a workspace that allows custom plugins.

  1. Open Plugins, select the plus button and choose Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter Timo Scout as the name, paste the server address above and select No authentication.
  3. Read ChatGPT's connection notice and, if you agree, continue and choose Create as a plugin.
  4. Open your personal plugins and install Timo Scout with the plus button.
  5. Start a new Work chat—the ChatGPT chat type that can use your installed plugins. Type @, select Timo Scout and ask it to find jobs. If Work is not available in your ChatGPT interface, use the linked OpenAI guide to check access for your account.

To confirm the connection, ask “Check Timo Scout’s catalogue status.” A tool response should give its availability and snapshot date; if it reports unavailable, the connection worked but job data is not ready. If no tool runs, check the plugin is enabled in that chat.

These steps follow OpenAI's current connection guide. Your workspace may restrict adding custom plugins.

In Claude

Start signed in to Claude with permission to add a custom connector.

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, select Add, then Add custom connector.
  2. Enter Timo Scout and the server address above. Continue and choose No sign-in if Claude asks for authentication settings. Leave credential fields empty.
  3. Click Add. In a conversation, open + → Connectors and enable Timo Scout.
  4. Ask for a shortlist, using the example below.

To confirm the connection, ask “Check Timo Scout’s catalogue status” and approve Claude’s tool permission request if prompted. A tool response should give availability and a snapshot date. If no tool runs, check the connector is enabled for that conversation.

On Team or Enterprise plans, an organization owner may need to add it first. See Claude's custom connector instructions.

Make a useful shortlist

Copy this prompt and replace the bracketed preferences:

Use Timo Scout to find up to five AI jobs in [city or country] that involve [skills or type of work]. First check the catalogue date and available filters. Compare the employer, role, location, experience requirements and disclosed pay. Explain which parts of my preferences each role matches, using evidence from the posting. Show the Scout detail link and employer application link. If pay, work arrangement or eligibility is not stated, mark it as not stated. Do not infer that a tool mention is a required qualification. Do not apply or contact anyone.

You can follow up with “Compare these two roles” or “Show the full requirements for the second job.” Share job preferences rather than your CV, contact details or private documents.

Optional recurring shortlist in Claude

After the connector works in a normal conversation, ask Claude to run the shortlist prompt on your preferred days and time, including your time zone. For example: “Run this shortlist every weekday at 9 a.m. Europe/London, and put the results in the task output.” Review the proposed instructions and schedule before clicking Schedule.

After saving the schedule, open its task details to review the first run and check that it used Timo Scout. You can manage or delete it from Claude’s Scheduled task list. Scheduled tasks require a supported paid Claude plan and access to the connector. They run in Claude; Timo Scout does not manage the schedule or send email alerts. See Claude’s scheduling instructions for plan and scheduling details.

Read the results

The catalogue date tells you which published snapshot supplied the results. The posting date is a separate field. Pay comes from the employer's disclosure; check its currency, period and location on the application page. Open that page to confirm the vacancy and apply.

If there are no matches, broaden one preference. If the catalogue is unavailable, try again later. For help or a correction, use the Timo Scout contact form. See the privacy policy and terms.
