Federal Compass MCP
Connects Claude to the official USAJobs API to help tech professionals transition from private sector to federal careers. Exposes tools for searching federal job openings with filters like location, salary, and clearance level, plus specialized operations for CV analysis, KSA extraction, and federal concept translation. Your CV stays local while Claude uses it to compare qualifications against postings or find matching opportunities. Particularly useful if you've ever looked at a federal job description and wondered what "GS-13 Step 5" means or whether "Competitive Service" applies to you. Requires a free USAJobs API key.

federal-compass-mcp
Your AI compass from private sector to federal career
Federal job descriptions are 5 pages of legal language. GS grades, clearance levels, hiring paths — none of this is explained anywhere. federal-compass-mcp connects Claude to the official USAJobs API and turns it into an AI advisor that speaks plain English.
Built for tech professionals transitioning from private sector to federal/government careers.
