Connecting Odds compatibility

Connecting Odds runs one MCP server for every client. Goose calls the same search_jobs and get_job tools, backed by the same ranked search engine the website uses — there is no client-specific search behaviour.

Required transport

Remote MCP (Streamable HTTP). The endpoint is:

https://connectingodds.com/mcp

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. Goose redirects you to Connecting Odds, you approve the connection, and the client stores a scoped access token. You never paste a key, password or database credential.

Setup steps

Add Connecting Odds as a remote (streamable HTTP) extension in Goose's settings.

For a terminal client, the install is one command:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http connecting-odds 'https://connectingodds.com/mcp'

Troubleshooting

Check Goose's extension logs if the tools do not load.

  • MCP connection failed: Remove the connector and add it again with the copied URL, then restart the client.
  • Authentication failed: Disconnect and reconnect to trigger a fresh sign-in, and approve the Connecting Odds consent screen.
  • Tools not appearing: Refresh the connector's tools, then start a new chat or session.
  • No jobs returned: Loosen one constraint at a time — drop the salary floor or widen the location — and ask again.

Only public job data is returned, and account-scoped tools act as your signed-in user.
