Habr Career MCP server

habr-mcp

An MCP server that edits your own career.habr.com profile using a session cookie, because the official API is read-only

Install

In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI

npx skillfoxx add mcp/habr-mcp

Detects the agents on your machine, checks the risk and pins the version.

Other ways to install

Assembled automatically, review before installing.

This entry is high risk, so there is no one-click install. Review the code and add the config by hand.

Run in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport stdio --env 'HABR_COOKIE=<your HABR_COOKIE>' habr-mcp -- uvx run --script server.py

Or add to the file .mcp.json, in the project

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "habr-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--script",
        "server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HABR_COOKIE": "<your HABR_COOKIE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the file already exists, add the server inside the mcpServers key.

You will need: uv

Checked against the repository on Sep 26, 2026, commit a26e425.

Text for your agent

Grab the _career_session and remember_user_token cookies from browser DevTools on career.habr.com, put them in the HABR_COOKIE variable, then connect the server with uv run --script server.py in your MCP client config.

Other ways from the author

uv run --script server.py --check

Checks whether the HABR_COOKIE is still valid and prints the login.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

Habr Career's official OAuth API is read-only, so the server writes the way a browser does: through Rails forms with a CSRF token and the user's session cookie. Its tools let you check whether the cookie is still valid, fetch the HTML or JSON of any profile page with scripts and styles stripped out, parse a form's schema with current values and options, submit only the fields you want while leaving the rest untouched, and ask the user a clarifying question via elicitation. A submit response is explicitly marked SAVED or NOT SAVED with a reason, because Rails returns validation errors with an HTTP 200 status.

Who it is for. For people who want to update their own Habr Career profile through an agent instead of filling out forms on the site by hand.

Good fit when

You want to quickly update salary expectations, skills or job search status in your profile
You need to see what fields a specific profile form has before changing it
You want to change one field without touching the rest of the profile

Not a fit when

You need access to someone else's profile: the server only works with the account owner's own session cookie
You want profile access without a browser cookie: the official API is read-only for that

Example request

Update my Habr Career profile's salary expectation to 500000 rubles

Limitations

The project has a single author, no license or releases, and requires manually pulling the _career_session and remember_user_token cookies from browser DevTools. The cookie is valid for a limited time, roughly until September per the author, after which the server reports an anonymous status and the cookie must be refreshed by hand. There is deliberately no typed resume-creation tool; the page itself is used as the schema.

How to disable. Remove the habr entry from your MCP client config and, if needed, revoke the Habr Career session on the site.

Transport: stdio
Authentication: API key

Environment variables

HABR_COOKIE required, secret	The _career_session and remember_user_token cookies from the browser, granting access to the user's account.

Security check

Uses a session cookie that grants full access to the Habr Career account
Writes to the profile through site forms rather than the official API

README in short

The README explains why a session cookie is needed instead of the official API, gives commands for obtaining and checking the cookie and wiring the server into an MCP client. It describes four tools: session check, page read, form parsing and field submission with an explicit save status. It ends with a list of tests, some of which need a real account and change a live profile.

FAQ

Why doesn't the server use the official Habr Career API?

The official OAuth API is read-only, and profile changes are only possible through web forms, so the server mimics browser behavior with a CSRF token.

Can changing one field accidentally wipe other profile data?

No, habr_submit only sends the fields you pass and resends the rest as they are, including Vue-driven fields like skills and languages.
