Documentation Overview

MatchCV MCP Server

Resume tools for MCP clients. Check a resume against ATS rules, parse a job description into structured requirements, get rewrite-level suggestions, and generate a fully tailored resume with a shareable preview link — all from inside Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any other MCP-compatible client.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`ats_check`	Scores resume text 0–100 for ATS compatibility, with a recruiter take, prioritized issues and fixes, and detected strengths
`analyze_job_description`	Turns a job posting into structured JSON: title, company, seniority, industry, must-have / nice-to-have keywords, responsibilities
`optimize_resume`	Prioritized improvement suggestions with example rewrites, optionally targeted at a role, a JD, and specific missing keywords
`roast_resume`	Blunt recruiter-style critique plus an ATS score, returned as a public shareable report link
`extract_resume_text`	Reads a local PDF/DOC/DOCX/TXT resume and returns plain text, optionally AI-parsed into structured JSON
`tailor_resume`	Full pipeline — analyze the JD, rewrite the resume for that role, return the tailored JSON plus a preview page you can open and download as PDF

Install

Requires Node.js 20+. No API key and no account are needed to start.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, or run claude mcp add):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "matchcv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "matchcv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

~/.codex/config.toml:

toml

[mcp_servers.matchcv]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]

Any other MCP client

The server speaks MCP over stdio. Run it directly with:

Terminal

npx -y matchcv-mcp

Example prompts

"Read ~/Documents/resume.pdf and tell me how it scores against ATS."
"Here's a job posting — what keywords is my resume missing?"
"Roast my resume, I want the honest version."
"Tailor my resume to this job description and give me the preview link."

Usage limits

The tools call MatchCV's public endpoints, so free usage is capped per day, per IP address:

	Free (no account)	Signed in	Pro
`ats_check`, `analyze_job_description`, `optimize_resume`, `roast_resume`, structured parsing	3/day	10/day	Unlimited
`tailor_resume`	1/day	3/day	Unlimited

Plain text extraction (extract_resume_text without structured: true) is unlimited — it runs no AI.

Quota errors come back as a readable message telling you how to raise the limit. See matchcv.co/pricing.

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Purpose
`MATCHCV_BASE_URL`	`https://matchcv.co`	API origin. Only needed to point at a development deployment.

Privacy

This server holds no credentials and stores nothing locally. Resume and job description text is sent to the MatchCV API over HTTPS for processing. roast_resume and tailor_resume create a page at an unguessable public URL so you can open and share the result; the other tools store nothing. See the privacy policy.

Development

Terminal

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Point it at a local MatchCV instance with MATCHCV_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000.
