# ApplyKoala

> ApplyKoala is a free job application tracker that your AI can work in. You save jobs, research companies and track applications yourself in the browser, or connect Claude Code, Codex, Claude or ChatGPT to its MCP server and let the AI do it. A free Chrome extension fills job application forms from your own details.

Key facts:

- Free: unlimited jobs and applications, no account needed. Data stays in your own browser.
- Sync between devices (also needed for the MCP server): US$3.99 a month or US$29 a year.
- MCP server: https://applykoala.com/mcp (remote, HTTP). Claude Code: `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http applykoala https://applykoala.com/mcp`
- What the AI can do over MCP: search and save job postings word for word, research a company with sources (ratings, visa sponsorship, funding, news), judge fit by quoting your own resume, keep interview stories, record each application and its follow-ups.
- ApplyKoala never submits an application by itself. The Chrome extension fills empty fields only; you press Submit.
- No kanban board: jobs and applications are sortable, filterable lists, with a dashboard of how your applications are going.
- Made by Xiang (Arnold) Shang, a software engineer who built it for a personal job search.
