Guide

Connect Claude to your CV.

Paste a job posting into Claude and ask whether it is worth applying for. Claude reads your GetCVAI profile through a connector and answers from your actual record — not from a guess about your job title. When you decide the job is worth it, one credit turns that into a tailored CV, tracked against the application.

The whole setup, start to finish — under three minutes.

Reading is free. Writing costs a credit. Claude uses its own subscription to read the posting and judge it against your profile, so that part costs you nothing. Only generate_tailored_cv spends one of your CV credits — and Claude has to ask your permission before it can.

What you need

A GetCVAI account with your profile filled in, and Claude on a plan that allows custom connectors. Nothing to install: the connector is a URL, not an app.

Setting it up

  1. Create a token in GetCVAI. Open Settings → Connectors, choose New token, and give it a name you will recognise later — "Claude (web)" does the job. The token is shown once. Copy it straight away and treat it like a password: anyone holding it can read your job pipeline.
  2. Add the connector in Claude. Go to Settings → Connectors → Add → Add custom connector, then fill in:
    Name
    Anything you like — GetCVAI is the obvious one.
    Remote MCP server URL
    https://mcp.getcvai.com/mcp — the /mcp at the end matters.
    Authentication
    None. There is no sign-in step; your token travels in a header instead.
    Advanced → Add header
    Header authorization, value Bearer followed by your token. Claude masks the field as you type and never shows the value again.
  3. Press Connect. Nine tools appear. Each one asks your permission the first time Claude reaches for it, and you can leave them that way — the permission prompt is the point, not an obstacle.

Using it

Paste a posting into Claude and ask the real question — should I apply to this? Claude pulls your profile through the connector and answers against it: which requirements you genuinely meet, which you are thin on, and which claim will not survive an interview. Because it can see your account, it also knows how many credits you have and what you already have in flight.

When you want the CV, ask for it. That is the step that spends a credit, so Claude stops and asks first. What comes back is a shareable CV link, a PDF, and the application already tracked in your account — the same record you would have got by doing it by hand on the site.

What Claude can and cannot do

It can read

Your profile, your account status, your tracked applications and their history. Free — that reasoning runs on Claude's side, not ours.

It can write, to your pipeline

Track a new application, move one to a new status, log a call or an email against it. No AI involved, no credit spent.

It can generate one thing

A tailored CV, for one credit, with your permission. Cover letters stay on the website.

It cannot send anything

No email, no payment, no deletion — deliberately. A job posting is untrusted text, and it should never be one sentence away from an irreversible action.

Claude Desktop

The same server, configured in a file instead of a dialog:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getcvai": {
      "url": "https://mcp.getcvai.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer gcv_your_token_here" }
    }
  }
}

Add that to ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and restart Claude Desktop.

Questions

Does this work with ChatGPT?

It is a standard MCP server, so any client that speaks MCP and lets you set a request header can use it. The setup screens differ; the URL and the header do not.

What if I lose the token?

Revoke it on Settings → Connectors and create another. Revoking is immediate, and tokens are independent — killing one does not disturb any other client you have connected.

Can Claude spend my credits without asking?

No. Generating a CV is the only tool that costs anything, and Claude asks before it runs. If you have no credits left, the server refuses the call rather than doing the work.

What does GetCVAI see?

The requests your client makes and the job text you paste into a generation. The conversation itself stays between you and Claude — we never see it. See the privacy policy for the detail.

Is my profile sent to Claude?

Only when you ask a question that needs it, and only into your own conversation. It is your data going to your assistant — but it does mean a client holding it can reason about your fit locally, which is exactly why that half is the free half.
