Use Careers with your AI
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Grok to Careers with its own MCP servers: it searches, tailors and drafts, and only you approve what is sent.
Careers has no built-in AI in early access. Your own AI, Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, connects to Careers directly: it reads your profile and postings, drafts a tailored CV and letter, and puts e-mail drafts in your outbox. It never sends: only you approve.
Connect in three steps#
- In Careers, open the settings and make an API key under API keys. It is shown once, so copy it then. The key belongs to you and acts in your Careers account.
- In your AI, add a remote MCP server at the address of the server you want, on your Careers address. Both answer at
POSTand speak MCP over HTTP:
https://<your Careers address>/apps/jobFinder/mcp postings, tailoring, profile, CV links, e-mail drafts
https://<your Careers address>/apps/cv/mcp the CV outline and its blocks, block by block- Send the key as a bearer token: the header
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. In Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, use the connector or MCP server settings of the client for custom headers, or a client configuration file.
{ "mcpServers": { "careers": { "url": "https://<your Careers address>/apps/jobFinder/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }How a call looks#
In the job server every action is its own tool, named careers.<area>.<action>, for example careers.jobs.search, careers.mail.draft_create or careers.tailor.draft. A few older names stay as they are: careers.findJobs, careers.digest, careers.browseTargets and careers.importJobs.
{ "query": "TypeScript React", "freelance_only": true, "top": 5 }Every call acts in your Careers account, after a plan check.
The CV server has the tools list_cvs, create_cv, get_outline, read_block, insert_block, edit_block, delete_block and move_block. Start with get_outline: it returns the block ids and short labels, never the whole document, and you then read or change one block at a time.
Your first ask#
Use my Careers account. Read my profile, then find the five best new freelance postings for TypeScript and React. For the best one, get the tailoring draft, reword it using only my facts, save it, and put an application e-mail in my outbox for approval.Your AI searches, tailors, saves and drafts. You open the outbox, read the exact message and approve it, or not.
The tools#
| Tool | What it is for | Actions |
|---|---|---|
jobs | Postings in the account. | search list save get saved digest since_digest |
cvs | Tailored CV versions. | list get_link |
mail | Application e-mails, approve before send. | draft_create draft_update request_approval list thread_get |
profile | The master profile. | get import |
tailor | Tailor a CV and letter for one posting. | templates draft save |
Every tool of the list is named careers.<tool>.<action> in the job server.
Rules that protect you#
- No send. There is no send or approve action. Only a signed-in person can approve, in the app.
- Truth check. A saved CV is repaired line by line against your profile. A letter or e-mail with an unsupported sentence (a number, a skill, an employer, a credential, an achievement that is not in your profile or the posting) is refused, and the refusal names the sentence.
- Your profile. A key reads and writes the master profile of its owner. Import replaces it, so read it first.
- Languages. A German posting gets a German CV and letter. A Dutch posting gets English documents with one controlled line saying you write in English. A letter is never machine-translated.
