## What it does

Laddro Career connects an agent to the service API. It can browse resume templates, inspect their fonts and colors, retrieve a user’s resumes and cover letters, adjust resume styling, and export a resume as a PDF.

The server can also tailor a resume to a job and draft a cover letter using a resume and job details. Local stdio setup requires `LADDRO_API_KEY`; the process will not work without it. Claude Code can instead connect over HTTP using the hosted endpoint, without launching the package through `npx`.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp`
- Environment variables: `LADDRO_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
