CareerGenius

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.

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.
