Formatix AI — MCP Server

What Formatix AI — MCP Server MCP server does

Formatix AI — MCP Server MCP server provides MCP tools for creating branded talent documents from candidate text, structured content or visible LinkedIn profile text. Supported document families include Hogan and other assessment reports, progression reports, executive profiles, candidate shortlists, client submittals, proposals and RPO reports. Depending on the selected template, output can be DOCX, PPTX, PDF or XLSX.

The service is aimed at executive search, in-house recruiting, talent mapping, RPO and HR teams that need repeatable client-facing documents. It can preserve the branding defined in a Formatix template, including fonts, colours, logos and layout.

How it works

Start with list_document_types to retrieve available templates and their output formats. Select a template_id and the associated template type, then send source text to generate_document. The tool returns a record_id rather than an immediately downloadable file.

Use check_status with that record ID until the result is either Formatted, Processing or Failed - <reason>. A formatted result includes a download_url that an agent can return to the user. Generated files are processed by Formatix’s platform; the local package acts as a thin MCP client rather than performing document rendering itself.

For LinkedIn content, format_from_linkedin accepts the visible profile text and creates a branded resume or candidate profile. Automatic profile capture requires the separate Formatix Chrome extension, according to the project documentation.

Setup and configuration

The repository publishes the @formatix-ai/mcp npm package. A local MCP client can run it with:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@formatix-ai/mcp"],
  "env": {
    "FORMATIX_API_KEY": "fxi_your_key_here"
  }
}

A Formatix API key is supplied through FORMATIX_API_KEY. The claim_access tool can issue free access when the user provides an eligible company email; personal email providers are not eligible. FORMATIX_API_BASE can override the default platform URL for testing another environment.

The documentation also describes a hosted MCP endpoint at https://platform.formatix.ai/mcp, which can be connected through clients supporting remote MCP connectors. Remote authentication can use a Formatix account through OAuth or an fxi_ API key.

Tools and capabilities

• list_document_types: Enumerate document templates and available formats.
• generate_document: Create a personalized branded document from source text.
• format_from_linkedin: Convert supplied LinkedIn profile text into a resume or candidate profile.
• check_status: Poll document generation and retrieve a download link when ready.
• claim_access: Request a free API key with a company email.

Limitations and notes

Formatix AI — MCP Server MCP server does not perform formatting locally; extraction, rendering and generation take place on the Formatix platform. An API key is needed for normal operations, while the access-claim flow is the documented exception. LinkedIn automation is not provided by the MCP tools themselves and depends on the separate Chrome extension. Generated documents are asynchronous, so callers must retain the record ID and poll before presenting a download link.
