HRD Opens Over 60 Types of Public Data to AI... Now Searchable Directly via ChatGPT

Launch of 'HRD Korea MCP' Service

Byung-Hoon Lee, President of the Human Resources Development Service of Korea

The Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD, President Byung Hoon Lee) announced on August 18 that it will launch the ‘HRD Korea Model Context Protocol (MCP)’ service, which allows generative artificial intelligence (AI) to access and retrieve the agency’s public data in real time to provide answers.

MCP is a framework that enables AI models to connect with external data and business systems using standardized methods, allowing immediate retrieval of information. The agency has selected and developed approximately 60 out of 229 public data application programming interfaces (APIs) it previously opened for this MCP service. The information provided includes national qualification examinations, overseas employment support, National Competency Standards (NCS), process-based and work-study dual qualifications, skilled technical promotion, and foreign worker employment support.

Anyone can access the public data 24 hours a day by simply registering the agency’s MCP server address on generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT or Claude, without the need for membership registration. Through the service, users can search for ▲ qualification exam schedules, fees, and pass rates ▲ overseas job postings and settlement allowances ▲ job and qualification recommendations based on NCS, and more.

The agency explained that since this service provides official, real-time data directly from its database, it can prevent inaccurate guidance caused by AI hallucinations.

President Byung Hoon Lee stated, “The agency will continue to lead the way in innovative services that citizens can truly experience through the trusted and accurate release of public data.”
