π¨π swissdevjobs-cli
Search, filter, and apply across 9 job boards in 8 countries β ~4,700 tech jobs with salary data, plus all ~50,000 Swiss postings on jobs.ch & jobup.ch and ~9,000 Singapore IT postings on MyCareersFuture β without leaving your terminal.

Every posting on swissdevjobs.ch β and its five sister boards covering Germany, the UK, the US & Canada, the Netherlands, and France β is required to publish a salary range. That makes them the rare job boards where you can filter by pay before you click. Since v0.5 the tool also searches jobs.ch and jobup.ch β Switzerland's two biggest boards, every industry, ~50,000 postings. It also searches MyCareersFuture, Singapore's government job portal, scoped to its ~9,000 Information Technology postings. One search, nine boards, JSON-first so an LLM agent can drive it.
It also remembers what you've already applied to, across every board, so the same job never shows up twice.

Why
Please be reasonable
This talks to somebody else's website, built by a small team who chose to make salary transparency mandatory. Keep your request volume human. Don't strip the caching. Don't fire off applications to postings you haven't read β that wastes a real recruiter's afternoon and poisons the well for everyone using the board honestly.
Read swissdevjobs.ch's terms before you automate anything on top of this.
Install
In Claude Code β two commands
/plugin marketplace add Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
/plugin install swissdevjobs@swissdevjobs
That's it. Claude Code prompts for your name, email, and CV path, then starts
the MCP server with uvx β nothing to install first, and no shell profile is
touched. Ask it "find me senior Python roles in Zurich over 140k" and go.
Requires uv on your PATH
(brew install uv, or curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh).
As a CLI
uv tool install git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
# pipx
pipx install git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
# from a checkout, editable
git clone https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli
cd swissdevjobs-cli
uv tool install -e . # or: pipx install -e .
# no install at all β run it once
uvx --from git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli sdj list --remote
Not published to PyPI.
Installs two equivalent binaries: sdj and swissdevjobs. Python 3.9+.
Boards
Three platforms, nine boards, one tool. The devitjobs family shares one backend across six countries β identical API, identical apply flow β the JobCloud platform (jobs.ch, jobup.ch) covers every industry in Switzerland, and MyCareersFuture is Singapore's government job portal, scoped to IT and publishing salary:
All boards are searched by default. A selector is a board id (just that one)
or a country code (every board there) β --board, with --source and
--country as accepted aliases:
sdj list --board jobsch # just jobs.ch
sdj list --board de --board uk # just Germany + UK, this once
sdj config --boards ch,de # persist: all CH boards + Germany
sdj config --boards swissdevjobs # persist: one board only
sdj config --boards all # back to everything
sdj boards (and the MCP tool list_boards) prints all of this as data β
no need to memorize which board does what:
$ sdj boards
9 boards β select with --board <id|country>, persist with `sdj config --boards`

jobs.ch and jobup.ch are search-driven. Their ~50k-job inventory can't be
mirrored (the API serves up to 200 rows per page and stops paging at 100 pages), so
they answer your query server-side, newest first β pass free text for real
coverage, and --category it to stay in tech:
$ sdj list "pflegefachfrau" --board jobsch --limit 2 # any industry, server-side

$ sdj list "python" --board ch --category it # CH tech across all three boards
They publish no salary data (rendered honestly as β) and have no native
apply β every posting routes to the company's own ATS, so direct-apply
refuses with the real apply URL instead of pretending.
MyCareersFuture is search-driven too. Singapore's government job portal
(Workforce Singapore) carries ~9,000 active Information Technology postings
and its API caps limit at 100 rows per page, so queries pass server-side,
newest first. Unlike jobs.ch it does publish salary β monthly SGD on the
wire, annualized by the adapter β and skills, so --tech and --remote
filter normally there. --visa, --level, and --workload are unavailable
by design: no sponsorship-eligibility field exists on the wire (Singapore's
employer applies for a specific work pass after the fact, so there is no
"will they sponsor" flag to read); the board's own position levels
("Professional", "Middle Management", "Fresh/entry level", β¦) have no honest
mapping onto the tool's Junior/Regular/Senior/Principal/CLevel enum, so they
stay in job.raw rather than being guessed at; and no workload-percentage
field exists at all. There is no native apply either β applying happens
on the posting page, through the portal's own flow, so direct-apply
refuses and hands back that page's URL.
Native postings on every devitjobs board publish a salary range. Syndicated listings
(marked isPartner by the boards β the majority outside Switzerland) sometimes
carry no range or a single-point figure; the tool renders those honestly and
refuses to native-apply to them, handing you the real ATS URL instead β
their pages have no native apply form, so a native submission would silently
vanish. The applied-jobs ledger is shared β apply to a role on one board and
the same company+role is hidden on all of them.
Want a board outside the family? Open a board request.
Configure
Reading jobs needs no configuration at all. Applying needs to know who you are.
sdj config --init # writes ~/.config/swissdevjobs-cli/.env (chmod 600)
sdj config # show what's resolved, and from where
Then edit the file:
SDJ_NAME="Your Name"
SDJ_EMAIL="[email protected]"
SDJ_CV="/absolute/path/to/cv.pdf"
# Optional: which boards to search (default: all)
# Board ids and/or country codes: jobsch, jobup, swissdevjobs,
# germantechjobs, devitjobs-*, ch, de, uk, us, nl, fr
# SDJ_BOARDS=ch,de
Where settings come from
.env files are read stdlib-only β no python-dotenv dependency. Anything already
exported in your shell always wins, so nothing on disk can silently shadow it.

list columns: id Β· board Β· dates Β· title Β· company Β· city Β· salary Β· workplace Β· tags
On jobs.ch/jobup.ch rows the salary column reads β (the platform publishes
none) and tags are usually empty β their coverage comes from server-side
query search, not client-side tag filters.
The date column carries two values, and the difference matters:
A row reading p=2026-04-02 a=2026-08-22 is a four-month-old job wearing a fresh coat
of paint. Sort by --sort posted (the default) to see through it.
sdj apply <id> --json # what route does this posting use?

sdj direct-apply <id> --lang-skills fluent --not-eu
sdj apply <id> --complete email # you sent it yourself β record it
sdj apply <id> --complete browser --notes "answered 3 screening questions"
--motivation takes inline text or a file path β it checks whether the string is
an existing file. The letter must not contain < or >; the site rejects them.
sdj applications # newest first
sdj applications --json --limit 500
sdj stats # cached jobs, applications, db path

How applying works
Three postings on the same board can need three completely different actions. sdj apply
tells you which, and direct-apply refuses the cases it knows would vanish.

Why the refusals exist
POST /api/jobApply returns HTTP 200 even when nobody receives your application.
That happens in two cases:
- Aggregator syndication. The listing was pulled in from talent.com or jometer. swissdevjobs.ch has no forwarding address for it.
candidateContactWay == "CompanyWebsite". The site is only linking out to the company's own ATS.emailAddressForApplicationsisnull, so there is nothing to forward to.
A third case can't even pretend: jobs.ch and jobup.ch have no native apply
endpoint at all β every posting routes to the company's own application
flow, so direct-apply there always answers no_native_apply with the ATS
URL.
In every case the CLI exits 2 and hands you the real apply URL rather than
letting you believe you applied. --force overrides the first two if you
disagree.
$ sdj direct-apply some-workday-job --json
{
"error": "company_website_posting",
"next_action": "use_chrome_mcp",
"apply_url": "https://acme.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/β¦",
"message": "USE CHROME MCP: visit β¦ and drive the ATS form. β¦"
}
Exit codes
Filtering
Every filter behaves the same on every board β or tells you it can't.
jobs.ch/jobup.ch publish no salary, workplace, visa, or experience-level
data (their own site can't filter on those either), so filtering on one of
them excludes those boards visibly: the JSON envelope carries
boards_excluded and a note, the table prints the note on stderr β
never a silent empty result. --tech still works there: the terms are
matched server-side as full-text query (multi-term queries AND together),
and --contract/--workload filter server-side through the platform's
own taxonomy. sdj boards shows each board's unavailable dimensions and
contract aliases as data.
/api/jobsLight is served with Cache-Control: max-age=3600, and Cloudflare will
happily return a HIT that's many hours stale β an Age of ~80'000 s has been observed
in the wild, which hides everything posted that day. --refresh appends a unique
query string so the request lands on a distinct cache key, forcing a MISS and
origin-fresh data.
MCP server
In Claude Code, the plugin wires this up for you. For any other
MCP client, point it at swissdevjobs-mcp:
// Claude Code: .mcp.json Β· Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"swissdevjobs": {
"command": "swissdevjobs-mcp",
"env": {
"SDJ_NAME": "Your Name",
"SDJ_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
"SDJ_CV": "/absolute/path/to/cv.pdf"
}
}
}
}
No prior install needed if you have uv β swap the command for
uvx and let it fetch:
{
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/Stupidoodle/swissdevjobs-cli", "swissdevjobs-mcp"]
}
Then just ask: "find me senior Python roles in Zurich over 140k" β or "remote roles in Germany or the UK paying over 80k, show me the top five."
Tools
The read-only tools carry readOnlyHint, so a client can run them without
interrupting you. search_jobs returns compact rows on purpose β full
descriptions come from get_job, so a broad search doesn't burn context.
The confirmation gate
An application cannot be unsent, so apply_to_job refuses to submit until it
is called a second time with confirm: true. The first call returns exactly
what would go out:
{
"error": "confirmation_required",
"would_submit": {
"role": "Senior ML Engineer",
"company": "Acme AG",
"salary": "CHF 140'000β180'000",
"applicant": { "name": "β¦", "email": "β¦" },
"cv_path": "/β¦/cv.pdf",
"motivation_preview": "Dear hiring team, β¦",
"motivation_chars": 1180
}
}
The assistant shows you that, you say yes, and only then does anything leave your machine. Duplicates and undeliverable postings are caught before the gate, so a repeat never turns into a second submission.

Reverse-engineered API surface
No auth, no API key on the read endpoints. The same surface exists on every board of the family. Responses cached in SQLite per board β 10 min for the list, 1 h for detail.
The JobCloud platform (jobs.ch, jobup.ch) exposes a different, equally open surface β shared by both boards, each with its own category taxonomy:
The two halves live on different hosts: JobCloud retired /api/v1/public/search
on 2026-08-28 (it answers 410 Gone on both boards) and moved search to the
host its own frontend calls. The detail endpoint beside it still serves.
Search-driven boards always ask the server; their SQLite rows exist so show
and apply can resolve what a past search surfaced.

Deduplication runs on job_id first, then falls back to (company, role) so an
application you made through LinkedIn β or on a different board β still
suppresses the same role everywhere. Cache freshness and slug uniqueness are
per board (UNIQUE(source, job_url)).
Cloudflare
The six devitjobs boards sit behind Cloudflare (jobs.ch/jobup.ch run AWS WAF instead, which has not challenged API traffic so far). Ordinary use sails through; bursts and datacenter IPs can trip a managed challenge.
There is no automated solver here, by design. A headless client can't run the JS challenge, and shipping something that tried would be both fragile and rude. Instead the CLI hands the problem to a real human in a real browser:
- The command blocks and prints the URL.
- Your default browser opens it.
- You clear the challenge, then copy
cf_clearancefrom DevTools β Application β Cookies (on the challenged board's domain). - Paste it back. It's stored in a Netscape cookie jar at
~/.config/swissdevjobs-cli/cookies.txtand the original request retries.
Run sdj auth up front before scripting a batch of calls.
Claude Code skill
The plugin already bundles a skill that teaches the whole search β shortlist β apply loop, including the confirmation handshake. Install that and you're done.
skill/SKILL.md is the standalone version, for driving the
CLI without the plugin:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/swissdevjobs
cp skill/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/swissdevjobs/
Either way the rules are the same: stop before every irreversible submit and ask, never type national ID or bank details into a form, hand CAPTCHAs back to you.
