Reactive Resume — Claude Code MCP server: resumes and job applications
Hooks your agent into the Reactive Resume builder so it can edit resumes, run checks and track job applications.
claude mcp add --transport http reactive-resume https://rxresu.me/mcpWhat Reactive Resume does
Reactive Resume is an open-source resume and cover letter builder. The MCP server exposes it to your agent: edit wording, tailor a resume to a posting, draft a letter, keep the application list in order.
The server is remote and speaks HTTP at https://rxresu.me/mcp. Nothing runs locally, but you need a Reactive Resume account because the tools work against your data in the service. Each client gets its own one-line command, while Cursor and GitHub Copilot take a JSON block.
The app is free, MIT-licensed, with no paid tier. Some features — writing review, letter drafts — rely on an AI provider you connect yourself: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama or another compatible endpoint. Skip that step and those tools have nothing to call.
What it helps with
- tailor a resume to a specific job posting
- draft a cover letter from a resume and posting
- check readability and job-posting keywords in a resume
- track applications from saved to offer
- rewrite a selected passage in a resume
Example prompts for the agent
- Tailor my resume to this job posting and show what you changed
- Draft a cover letter from my resume and the job description
- Check my resume for readability and keywords from the posting
