Suggested AI Workflow

For best results, an AI assistant should follow this sequence when helping a user find jobs or analyse skills.

1. 1
   lookup_occupation— Resolve a job title to SOC codes — the essential first step
2. 2
   get_occupation_profile— Full occupation profile — risk, salary, AI exposure, census data
3. 3
   get_skill_registry— Discover canonical skill names before searching
4. 4
   search_jobs_by_skills— Find matching vacancies ranked by skill overlap
5. 5
   get_skills_gap— Identify missing skills for a target role transition
6. 6
   get_job— Full job detail with AI advisory panels and career paths

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. Once connected, an AI can call Smart Island tools directly — searching vacancies, analysing risk, matching skills — without leaving the conversation.
