Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the MCP server. Contact us.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools and services. It's supported by Claude, Cursor, Kiro, Windsurf, VS Code, and more.

Is it free to use?

Yes. The MCP server is available on all plans, including the free tier. Your usage is governed by your plan's quotas (number of resumes, prints, AI attempts, etc.).

How do I get an API key?

Go to Dashboard → MCP Setup, create a new API key (requires 2FA enabled on your account). The key is shown once — copy it immediately.

Can I import my existing resume from a PDF?

Yes. Your AI agent reads the PDF locally, extracts the text, and sends it to the parse_resume_from_text tool. The server uses AI to convert it into structured resume data.

Which AI agents are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client works: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kiro, Windsurf, VS Code, and any tool that supports the Streamable HTTP MCP transport.

Is my data secure?

API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes — we never store the plaintext. All requests are rate-limited and scoped to your account. You can revoke keys anytime.
