Data governance
No PII in responses
Tools never return candidate records or any personally identifiable data. Listings reference companies and roles; salary bands reference role titles and confidence flags.
Attribution required
Starter and Growth responses include an _attribution block. Surfaces built on Tenure data must credit the source with a link back to tenurecareers.io.
No model training
Training rights are excluded from Starter and Growth. Enterprise includes a negotiated training license. Caching for retrieval is always permitted.
SOC-2 in progress
Type I targeted for Q4 2026. Enterprise customers can request the in-progress attestation under NDA.
FAQ
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol — an open specification for connecting LLM clients to tool servers. Clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code call MCP tools to fetch structured data. Tenure speaks MCP natively and also accepts raw HTTP JSON-RPC for clients that do not.
Which LLM clients does this work with?
Any MCP 2024-11-05 client. Confirmed working with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and direct JSON-RPC over HTTP. The manifest at /mcp/v1/manifest is public.
How often is the data refreshed?
Listings are re-scraped daily. Salary bands are triangulated continuously from verified sources and versioned with a confidence flag. Sector overviews aggregate the latest 30 and 90 days of listing activity.
Can I use this to train a model?
Not on the Starter or Growth tiers. Training rights require a separate Enterprise license. The default terms permit retrieval-augmented inference and user-facing display with attribution.
What is in the Enterprise tier that is not in Growth?
Custom quotas with dedicated capacity, optional attribution waiver, bulk exports, a 99.9% uptime SLA with credits, named account support, and training rights. Pricing is bespoke.
