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):
{
"mcpServers": {
"matchcv": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]
}
}
}
Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"matchcv": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]
}
}
}
Codex CLI
~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.matchcv]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "matchcv-mcp"]
Any other MCP client
The server speaks MCP over stdio. Run it directly with:
npx -y matchcv-mcp
Example prompts
- "Read
~/Documents/resume.pdfand 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
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js
Point it at a local MatchCV instance with MATCHCV_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000.
