## Description
Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) for AI assistants helping one person with their own job search. Seven tools: keyword gap between a job posting and a resume (deterministic, no AI), fact-checked resume tailoring (rewrites that add a tool, number, title, result or employer the resume doesn't show are held back), cover letters, interview prep, single-column ATS-readable resume PDF and Word rendering, and a one-call tailor-to-PDF tool that returns the tailored, fact-checked PDF plus what changed. No ATS score is returned. Included with CareerGenius Premium: tool calls need a Bearer API key created on the CareerGenius Account page (up to 3 keys, 4,000 calls/month per account). Docs: https://careergenius.org/developers

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **careergenius_keyword_gap** — Lists the keywords a job posting asks for (named tools, products, credentials, plus any you supply) and which of them the resume shows or does not show. Deterministic, no AI. Not a score and not a prediction of screening or interview outcomes. Without a key: one of the conversation's 10 free keyword/PDF calls. job_url needs a key.
- **careergenius_tailor_resume** — Rewords the resume summary and job bullets for one posting. Every rewrite is checked against the resume; rewrites with unsupported claims (added tools, numbers, seniority, results or employers) are removed and listed in held_back by reason code. Every result has "outcome": which lines were reworded, kept or held back, reason codes (such as NO_CHANGES, AI_KEPT_WORDING, ALL_HELD_BACK, MISSING_KEYWORDS_NOT_ADDABLE), the posting keywords the resume does not show (rewording cannot add them), a plain explanation and next steps. Review before use. Without a key: one of the conversation's 2 free AI calls (posting_text only; job_url needs a key).
- **careergenius_cover_letter** — Writes a cover letter (or a short hiring-manager letter) from the resume for one posting. Every sentence is checked against the resume; unsupported sentences are removed and counted by reason. Returns only a letter, never other text. Review before use. Without a key: one of the conversation's 2 free AI calls (posting_text only; job_url needs a key).
- **careergenius_render_resume_pdf** — Lays out a structured resume as a clean, single-column, ATS-readable PDF (real selectable text, embedded fonts, no images, no tables, no clickable links), letter or A4, at most 3 pages. Returns the file as an embedded resource (base64); nothing is stored. No AI: the text is printed exactly as sent. Counts one call of the monthly allowance. Without a key: one of the conversation's 10 free keyword/PDF calls.
- **careergenius_render_resume_docx** — The same resume layout as an editable Word (.docx) file, for a person who wants to change it before sending. Returns the file as an embedded resource (base64); nothing is stored. No AI. Counts one call of the monthly allowance. Without a key: one of the conversation's 10 free keyword/PDF calls.
- **careergenius_tailor_resume_pdf** — One call: give a job posting (text or a public link) and the person's resume (plain text, a PDF or DOCX file in base64, or structured JSON). CareerGenius reads the posting, lists the keywords it asks for and which the resume shows, rewords the summary and bullets for this job, keeps ONLY the rewordings that pass its fact check (no added tools, numbers, titles, results or employers), and returns a clean single-column ATS-readable PDF plus a summary of what changed, what was held back and why. "outcome" explains the result in reason codes and plain words, also when nothing changed: lines reworded / kept / held back, posting keywords the resume does not show, and next steps. Counts one call and uses the AI cap. Review before sending. Without a key: one of the conversation's 2 free AI calls (posting_text only; job_url needs a key). Without a key the whole request is limited to 96 KB.
- **careergenius_interview_prep** — Likely interview questions for one job posting, each with an answer outline built ONLY from the resume: every point cites the resume line it comes from and passed the CareerGenius fact check (no invented experience; failing points are removed and listed by reason). Resume as plain text, a PDF/DOCX file (base64) or structured JSON. Counts one call and uses the AI cap. Without a key: one of the conversation's 2 free AI calls (posting_text only; job_url needs a key). Without a key the whole request is limited to 96 KB.

## Documentation

## What CareerGenius does

CareerGenius provides MCP tools for an individual’s job search. It works with job postings and resumes to identify keyword gaps, produce fact-checked resume revisions, draft cover letters, prepare interview materials, and render resumes into documents.

The resume-focused workflows are designed to preserve the evidence in the source resume. Tailored content is held back when it would introduce a tool, number, job title, result, or employer that the resume does not support. The service also produces a single-column resume format intended to remain readable by applicant-tracking systems.

## How it works

The service is hosted remotely at `https://api.careergenius.org/mcp` and uses the Streamable HTTP transport. An MCP-compatible AI assistant connects to that endpoint and sends tool calls for the desired job-search operation.

Keyword-gap analysis is deterministic rather than AI-generated. Other workflows handle content generation or document production, including resume tailoring, cover letters, interview preparation, and resume files. A combined tailor-to-PDF operation performs the fact-checked tailoring and returns the resulting PDF together with a description of the changes.

## Setup and configuration

CareerGenius is included with CareerGenius Premium. Tool calls require a Bearer API key created from the CareerGenius Account page. An account can create up to three keys, with a limit of 4,000 calls per month per account.

Configure the remote MCP endpoint and provide the API key through the MCP client’s authentication settings. Developer documentation is available at [careergenius.org/developers](https://careergenius.org/developers).

## Tools and capabilities

- Compare a job posting with a resume and identify keyword gaps using deterministic analysis.
- Tailor resume content while withholding unsupported additions.
- Generate cover letters for job applications.
- Create interview preparation material.
- Render a resume as a single-column, ATS-readable PDF.
- Render a resume as a Word document.
- Tailor a resume and return the fact-checked PDF plus a summary of changes in one call.

## Limitations and notes

CareerGenius is intended for one person’s job search. It does not return an ATS score. Resume tailoring is constrained by the information present in the source resume, so unsupported tools, metrics, titles, results, or employers are not added. Access is subject to the Premium plan, API-key requirements, and the account’s monthly call allowance.
