Bengaluru AI Job Radar

Bengaluru AI Job Radar is a Python FastMCP server that helps an AI agent search for AI internship and early-career AI roles in Bengaluru, save them to a local JSON job tracker, and render a Prefab dashboard UI.

Built with FastMCP 3.4.x, Prefab UI 0.20.x, Tavily for internet search, and JSON for local persistence.

Assignment Mapping

| Assignment Requirement | Implementation | |---|---| | Custom MCP server | Python FastMCP server (server.py) | | Internet-related function | search_ai_jobs uses Tavily API | | Local file CRUD | job_tracker_db performs CRUD on local JSON file (data/bengaluru_ai_job_radar.json) | | UI communication | render_job_dashboard returns FastMCP Prefab UI components | | Web app / dashboard | Prefab-rendered dashboard inside MCP-compatible host | | Prompt forcing all 3 tools | Included in demo_prompt.md |

---

Architecture

User prompt
  → Agent calls search_ai_jobs (Tavily internet search)
  → Agent saves results via job_tracker_db (JSON CRUD)
  → Agent reads records via job_tracker_db (JSON CRUD)
  → Agent calls render_job_dashboard (Prefab UI)
  → Prefab dashboard appears in MCP host

MCP Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Category | |---|---|---| | search_ai_jobs | Search Tavily for AI/ML/GenAI internships and junior roles in Bengaluru | Internet | | job_tracker_db | Create, read, update, delete, and manage job leads in a local JSON database | Local CRUD | | render_job_dashboard | Render a rich Prefab UI dashboard with summary metrics, job table, and charts | UI |

Running the MCP Server

Direct Python execution

python -m bengaluru_ai_job_radar.server

Using FastMCP CLI

fastmcp run src/bengaluru_ai_job_radar/server.py

App preview (if supported)

fastmcp dev src/bengaluru_ai_job_radar/server.py

---

Connecting to an MCP Host

Add this to your MCP host configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bengaluru-ai-job-radar": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "bengaluru_ai_job_radar.server"],
      "cwd": "C:\\Cursor\\EAGv3\\S4\\bengaluru-ai-job-radar",
      "env": {
        "TAVILY_API_KEY": "your_key_here",
        "DATABASE_PATH": "data/bengaluru_ai_job_radar.db"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Exact MCP host configuration may differ depending on Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT MCP Apps, or another host.

Demo Prompt

Copy this prompt into your MCP-connected AI agent to exercise all 3 tools:

Use the Bengaluru AI Job Radar MCP server to complete this full workflow. First, use the MCP internet search tool search_ai_jobs to find companies currently hiring AI Interns, ML Interns, GenAI Interns, LLM Engineer Interns, AI Implementation Engineer Interns, or Junior AI Engineers in Bengaluru. Prioritize roles involving Python, LLMs, RAG, AI agents, embeddings, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model training, NLP, or AI backend development. Save at least 5 relevant job leads to the local JSON job tracker using the MCP CRUD tool job_tracker_db. Then read the saved records back using job_tracker_db with the list_jobs operation. Finally, render the saved results using the FastMCP Prefab UI tool render_job_dashboard. Do not answer from memory. Do not skip any step. You must call all 3 tools: 1. search_ai_jobs 2. job_tracker_db 3. render_job_dashboard

The full prompt is also available in demo_prompt.md.

Example Workflow

1. Search for roles

The agent calls search_ai_jobs with: ``json { "role_query": "AI Intern", "location": "Bengaluru", "max_results": 10 } ``

2. Save job leads

The agent calls job_tracker_db for each result: ``json { "operation": "create_job", "payload": { "company": "Sarvam AI", "role_title": "AI Intern", "role_type": "internship", "location": "Bengaluru", "skills": ["Python", "LLM", "RAG"], "fit_score": 85, "source_platform": "LinkedIn", "source_url": "https://linkedin.com/jobs/view/123" } } ``

3. List saved jobs

{
  "operation": "list_jobs",
  "payload": {"min_fit_score": 50}
}

4. Update a role status

{
  "operation": "update_status",
  "payload": {
    "job_id": "...",
    "new_status": "applied",
    "event_note": "Applied via company careers page"
  }
}

5. Add a note

{
  "operation": "add_note",
  "payload": {
    "job_id": "...",
    "note": "Reach out to founder on LinkedIn"
  }
}

6. Render dashboard

The agent calls render_job_dashboard → a Prefab UI dashboard appears with summary cards, a job table, recent activity, and skill frequency.

Running Tests

pytest tests/ -v

Tests cover:

Fit score calculator — scoring rubric, caps, keyword boosts
Normalization — company names, slug IDs, role type inference, skill extraction
JSON store — full CRUD lifecycle, upsert, deduplication, dashboard aggregation

Known Limitations

Tavily search result quality depends on public indexing of job boards.
Some job platforms may block direct scraping, so the tool relies on Tavily snippets and source links.
Compensation data may be unavailable for many listings — shown as "unknown".
Prefab UI APIs are actively evolving; dependency pinning to prefab-ui>=0.20.0,<1.0.0 is used.
Dashboard interactivity depends on the MCP host's support for FastMCP Apps / Prefab rendering.
Company name extraction from search results is best-effort; some may show as "unknown".
The fit-score algorithm is deterministic and rule-based — it does not use ML or LLM reasoning.
