Use your resumes from your AI assistant and your own tools

Connect

• ChatGPT and Claude: add a connector with the address https://mcp.cvember.com/mcp and sign in to CVEmber when asked. You choose whether it may edit or only read. Disconnect any time in Settings → Connected apps.
• Claude Code, Cursor, scripts: make a key in Settings → API keys and send it as Authorization: Bearer cvm_…. Keys last 90 days by default (30, 90, 180, 365 to choose from); you can have 2 on the free plan and 5 with download access.

What it can do

• get_account — The account's plan, whether download access is active, what PDF export needs, and what this connection may do. Contact details are not included.
• list_resumes — Base resumes and tailored versions, newest first, each with a label (company, job, made in, date, status), its CVEmber score and downloadable, plus counts. Filter by role, search or since. No contact details.
• get_resume — One resume's full content (contact, headline, summary, experience, education, skills, projects, certifications), template, colour and contentVersion. A saved job ad or imported text is returned under foreign.
• tailor_resume — Saves a version for a job ad; the master never changes. Wording the resume supports goes in; a new fact does not, nothing is dropped. Relay each questions[] item as written, never answered by you; the person's answers go back as userStatedFacts [{questionId, text}].
• update_resume — Applies the person's requested edit to the given sections, title, role, template or colour and saves a version. expectedVersion must match contentVersion. changes lists what changed or was removed; questions[] as in tailor_resume. Undo: restore_version.
• create_resume — Saves the person's resume or LinkedIn profile as a master for a role. sourceText is the attachment's text as read; details not found in it come back in checks. Refused as duplicate_resume if that master exists: offer to update it.
• score_resume — CVEmber score, 0-100: how complete and readable the resume is, how well it matches the job when one is given, and how much its lines show. One number, the same every time. Partial = not fully read.
• export_pdf — A 15-minute link that downloads the resume as a PDF on cvember.com when download access or an unlock covers it. Otherwise answers payment_required with the pricing page; nothing is bought through this tool.
• restore_version — Puts a resume back to how it was before a change made through this API: the latest one, or the one named by actionId.
• list_templates — Template ids with their format, columns, the roles each suits, and the colour ids.

What it can never do

• Tailor over your original: tailoring always saves a separate version. Edits to the original happen only through update_resume, when the person asks.
• Invent employers, degrees or dates, whether tailoring or editing: those are refused unless you ask for them; other factual changes are listed for you to check.
• Buy anything, or download a PDF without paying: download links last 15 minutes and open on cvember.com, signed in.
• Send your resume to anyone.

Every change can be undone for 30 days.
