## Introduction

### How to integrate ZipRecruiter MCP with ChatGPT Work
[ChatGPT Work](https://openai.com/chatgpt-work/) is an agent inside ChatGPT built for your most ambitious work. It takes action across your apps and files, stays with a project for hours, and turns a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs - not just answers.
In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your ZipRecruiter account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can find remote software jobs near austin, compare salaries for data analyst roles, search entry-level marketing jobs in chicago through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's ZipRecruiter integration lets ChatGPT Work take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

## Connect ZipRecruiter MCP to ChatGPT Work

### Prerequisites
- A ChatGPT account with access to ChatGPT Work (rolling out across Pro, Enterprise, Edu, Plus, and Business plans). We will use the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/), which is available on every plan.
- Access to the ZipRecruiter workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio MCP](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=chatgpt&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fchatgpt).
Note: Composio connects through OAuth. You will be asked to sign in and approve specific permissions. Review the permission screen carefully if you are using a work account.
### Step-by-step: Connect ZipRecruiter to ChatGPT Work
### 1. Open the MCP settings
In ChatGPT Work, go to Settings and open the Plugins section. Inside the Plugins page, click the MCP tab.
### 2. Add the server

## What is the ZipRecruiter MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The ZipRecruiter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ZipRecruiter account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform ZipRecruiter operations on your behalf.

## 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. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and ZipRecruiter MCP?

With a standalone ZipRecruiter MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of ZipRecruiter tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from ZipRecruiter and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with ChatGPT Work?

Yes, you can. ChatGPT Work fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right ZipRecruiter tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for ZipRecruiter while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which ZipRecruiter scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your ZipRecruiter data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
