Taxonomies

Manage writable job board taxonomies and read the canonical remote permit and timezone catalogs.

Taxonomies power filters, search landing pages, structured fields, and consistent job data. Skills, categories, and markets are account-specific and writable. Remote permits and timezones are global canonical catalogs and read-only through the Operator API.

Discover taxonomy resources

javascript
async () => Object.keys(spec.paths).filter((path) =>
path.startsWith('/taxonomies')
)

Use canonical values

Read the relevant resource before creating or updating a job. Reuse existing category, skill, and market slugs. For remote permits and timezones, send only values returned by their read-only catalog endpoints—you cannot create a missing remote permit or timezone through MCP.

Rename with care

A slug can be part of public URLs and existing job references. Renames add aliases, but the way a change propagates differs by taxonomy, so inspect the live operation and dependent records before approving it.

Deletion does not clean every reference automatically:

  • Jobs may retain stale skill slugs after a skill is deleted.
  • Companies may retain stale market slugs after a market is deleted.
  • Deleting a category also deletes its direct child categories, but deeper grandchildren remain.

Preview affected records and obtain explicit approval before deleting taxonomy data. A deletion can also remove filters or landing pages from the board.
