How to create a niche job newsletter with TheirStack MCP

Connect TheirStack MCP to your AI client

Follow the instructions on the MCP documentation page to connect TheirStack to Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, or any other MCP-compatible client. Setup takes under a minute.

Define your newsletter niche

Before creating a template, test a few searches to find the right filters for your audience. Ask Claude:

Search for data analysis jobs posted in the last 7 days in the US. Show me the first 10 results with job title, company name, location, and salary range.

Claude will call TheirStack's search_jobs tool and return matching jobs. From here, refine your query:

• Narrow by skills: "Only show jobs that mention SQL or Python in the description"
• Filter by seniority: "Focus on mid-level and senior roles"
• Set salary floors: "Only jobs with a minimum salary of $80,000"
• Target specific company types: "Only at companies with 50-500 employees"

Keep experimenting until the results match what your readers would want. Write down the filters that work — you'll use them in your template.

Create your newsletter template

This is the reusable template you'll paste into Claude each week. Customize it for your niche — the example below targets data analysis jobs.

# 📊 Data Analysis Jobs Weekly — [WEEK OF DATE]

## 👋 This Week in Data

[Write 2-3 sentences about trends you notice in this week's
job listings. Example: how many new roles, any shifts in
required skills, notable companies hiring.]

## 🔥 Featured Jobs

Search for data analysis jobs posted in the last 7 days in
the US that mention SQL or Python. Show the top 12 results.

For each job, format as:

### [Job Title] — [Company Name]
- 📍 Location
- 💰 Salary range (if available)
- 🏢 Company size
- 🔗 Link to apply

One sentence about why this role stands out.

## 📈 Weekly Insight

Based on the jobs you found, write one short data-driven
insight. For example: "X% of this week's roles require
Python" or "Remote roles are up/down compared to typical
weeks."

## 💡 Tip of the Week

[Write a short career tip relevant to data analysts.]

## 👀 Worth Watching

List 3 companies that posted multiple data roles this week.
They might be scaling their data teams — worth keeping an eye on.

Save this template somewhere handy — a text file, a note, or a Google Doc. You'll reuse it every week.

Generate your newsletter issue

Each week, start a new Claude.ai conversation (make sure TheirStack MCP is connected) and paste your template with a simple instruction:

Fill in this newsletter template with fresh data from TheirStack. Today is [current date]. Use real job data — don't make anything up.

[paste your template here]

Claude will:

1. Call TheirStack's search_jobs tool to find matching jobs
2. Format the results into your template
3. Write the trend commentary and insights based on the actual data

Review the output and make any edits you want. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

Tip: Ask Claude for follow-up tweaks like "Replace the 3rd job with something fully remote" or "Make the weekly insight more specific".

Publish to Beehiiv or Substack

1. Copy the formatted newsletter output from Claude
2. Paste it into your Beehiiv or Substack editor
3. Adjust formatting if needed (headings, links, images)
4. Preview, schedule, or send

Most newsletter platforms handle markdown well, so the output from Claude should paste cleanly with minimal formatting fixes.
