## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ZIPRECRUITER_MCP_SEARCH_JOBS` | Search jobs | Use this tool whenever the user asks to find, browse, view, recommend, or search for jobs, roles, openings, gigs, internships, or job listings. It only shows jobs that are within the United States or Canada. Guidelines: - Do not provide fields unless the user explicitly provides them. - The tool provides the search results all in one list, so if the user intends to search for multiple job roles, it may be better to invoke the tool for each job role separately. - If the user has not provided a location and is not asking for remote jobs, ask the user for a location before calling this tool. If you call without a location, results will default to a United States-wide search and the user will be warned. Notes: - When provided radius_miles, jobs will be included in the result if their location's boundaries approximately fall within radius miles of the requested location's boundaries. - If a salary range is provided, a job will be included in the results if the job's salary range overlaps with the requested salary range. |

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute ZipRecruiter MCP Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute ZipRecruiter MCP actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Search for senior Python developer jobs in New York paying over $140,000'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Search for senior Python developer jobs in New York paying over $140,000'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to ZipRecruiter MCP tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Find remote product manager jobs paying over $150,000')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Find remote product manager jobs paying over $150,000'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
