What is the AI Applyd MCP server?

It is a Model Context Protocol server that puts AI Applyd's job-search tools directly inside your AI assistant. MCP is the open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools. Once connected, you can score a resume against the ATS, analyze a job description, tailor a resume, draft a cover letter, prep for interviews, and find matching jobs without leaving ChatGPT or Claude. The connection URL is https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp.

Which AI clients can connect to it?

Any MCP-compatible client. That includes ChatGPT, Claude (Desktop, Code, and web), Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. We support both transports: Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp for modern clients, and Server-Sent Events at https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/sse for clients that still need SSE.

Is the MCP server free to use?

Yes. The ATS resume score and job-description analysis tools run with no login and no cost, so you get the value in your first message. Connecting your AI Applyd account unlocks AI-powered scoring, resume optimization, translation, interview prep, and the job match-finder within your free token credits. Cover letters and auto-apply are available on a paid plan. When you want unlimited runs you continue in your AI Applyd dashboard.

Do I need an AI Applyd account to use it?

Not for the free tools. ATS scoring and job-description analysis work for anyone, no sign-up. To unlock the account tools (AI-powered scoring, resume optimization, translation, interview prep, and the match-finder), connect your AI Applyd account so the tools can read your profile and spend from your token balance. Cover letters and auto-apply require a paid plan.

What tools does the MCP server expose?

Free with no login: ATS resume scoring and job-description analysis. Unlocked when you connect your account (drawing on your free token credits): AI-powered ATS scoring, resume optimization, resume translation, interview prep, and the job match-finder. Available on a paid plan: cover letter generation and auto-apply. Each tool returns structured results your assistant can read back to you and act on.

How do usage limits work through the MCP?

The free tools have no limit and cost nothing. Account tools spend tokens from the same balance as the web app, so your free credits cover the first runs. Tokens are spent on the real compute each run uses, so you pay for what you actually use. When you run low, top up or upgrade in your dashboard. There is no separate MCP meter, it is one balance across the assistant and the dashboard.

Is my data safe when I use the MCP server?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. We do not sell it and we do not train AI on your resumes. The account connection uses scoped access, the assistant only reads what a tool needs to run, and you can disconnect or delete everything from your dashboard at any time.

What is an MCP, and why it matters

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor use outside tools right inside the chat.

Connect AI Applyd once and your assistant can score your resume against the ATS or find jobs that fit, without you switching tabs or leaving the conversation. You ask in plain English; it runs the real tool and reads the answer back to you.

No credit tax: the ATS score and job-description tools never consume AI credits. One free Google sign-in and they run in your first message.

AI-powered ATS scoring

Deeper, model-graded ATS scoring that reasons about phrasing and intent, not just keyword overlap. Connect your account to run it from the chat.

Resume optimization

Connected

Rewrite your resume against a specific job. Real bullets from your history, surfaced and sharpened to clear the keyword filter. Anti-fabrication rules block invented skills.

Resume translation

Connected

Translate a tailored resume into another language while keeping the ATS keywords intact, so you can apply across borders without losing the match.

Interview prep

Auto-apply

Pro

Kick off a real application from the chat. AI Applyd tailors, fills the form, answers the screeners in your voice, and submits, then returns proof to your dashboard. Available on a paid plan.
