AI Applyd MCP Server

Version 1.9.1 includes fourteen portable job-search skills. See the changelog.

Auto-Apply That Ends on an Interview

Stop applying. Start interviewing.

Score your resume the way the screening software scores it, rewrite it for the exact role, write the cover letter, prepare for the interview, and send the application in on the employer's own hiring system. All from inside the assistant you already work in.

And it keeps the employer's own confirmation. Most tools count applications sent, which is a number the tool awards itself off its own button click. This one reports what the employer's system actually returned, so a real rejection is distinguishable from a form that quietly dropped your application.

Listing page · Website · Privacy · Terms

Most applicants are screened out by software before a person reads a word, and a good number are never screened at all, because the form silently dropped a required field or the upload never attached. From the candidate's side those look identical to rejection, which is why so many people rewrite a CV nobody ever read.

This server puts both halves of that process in your hands: the screening, and the proof that the application arrived.

From the first match to the interview invite. Every application carries the employer's own confirmation.

Every application goes in on the company's real careers page, under your name, with your own materials. It lands on 30+ hiring systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Personio, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Breezy, Workable, Rippling, BambooHR, JazzHR, softgarden, Jobvite, Gem, Zoho Recruit, Dayforce, Hireology, Dover, Oracle Recruiting Cloud, Paylocity, Oracle Taleo, UKG Pro Recruiting, ADP, Avature, CareerPlug, Pinpoint, Manatal, and Eightfold.

Nothing to install. Connect once and run it from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code or any MCP client, and from your phone over iMessage through Poke.

The whole job search in five calls: see your matches (aiapplyd_get_matches), apply to one (aiapplyd_apply, sent automatically or held for your yes), approve or reject what is waiting (aiapplyd_review_application), track every application to the employer's own receipt (aiapplyd_get_applications), and check your plan and what is left (aiapplyd_get_account). The full list is under Tools.

Watch the demo

90 seconds: resume upload, job matching, a real application sent on the employer's own form, the employer's confirmation email, interview prep, and applying from ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor.

Quick start

One click, if your app supports it:

AI Applyd is a hosted remote MCP server. Point your client at one URL:

https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp

The first tool call opens an OAuth sign-in. Sign in with Google, and you are connected. A free account needs no card and arrives with a one-time 10,000-token starter grant.

Claude (web, Desktop, Code)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector

Field	Value
Name	`AI Applyd`
Remote MCP server URL	`https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp`

In Claude Code, one line does it:

claude mcp add --transport http aiapplyd https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiapplyd": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Settings → Connectors → Create and paste https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp. ChatGPT speaks MCP natively, so there is no Action schema to import and nothing to host.

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"aiapplyd","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp"}'

Plugin for Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor

This repository is a plugin marketplace. The aiapplyd plugin bundles the MCP server with fourteen skills, in the portable plugin.json format that Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor read:

Skill	Use it when
`using-ai-applyd`	You want the assistant to pick the right tool and order for your request
`setup-job-search`	You want to set your base resume, finish your profile or check readiness
`find-matching-jobs`	You want your job matches, want to save or skip one, or want to change what it looks for
`apply-to-a-job`	You want to apply, or you paste a job link and say "apply"
`review-and-send`	You want to see what is waiting for you, change it, and send it
`tailor-for-a-job`	You want a posting analysis, an ATS score or a resume rewrite for one role
`track-applications`	You ask "did it go through", or how many applications you have left
`write-cover-letter`	You want a letter for one job or changes to an existing letter
`prepare-for-interview`	You want role-specific questions and to practise answers from your own experience

The hosted skill index is at aiapplyd.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. The plugin files are in plugins/aiapplyd/skills/. The root skills/ link points to that same directory so Gemini CLI discovers the workflows without a second set of skill files.

Skills check account limits before metered work and get approval before credit-consuming actions or sending an application. Installing a plugin does not buy an AI Applyd plan. Public directory approval is separate from installing this repository directly.

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp
codex plugin add aiapplyd@aiapplyd

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp
claude plugin install aiapplyd@aiapplyd

Codex (CLI, IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app)

codex mcp add aiapplyd --url https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp
codex mcp login aiapplyd

The Codex CLI, the IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this configuration.

Gemini CLI

This repository is also a Gemini CLI extension (gemini-extension.json, GEMINI.md and the same fourteen skills):

gemini extensions install https://github.com/aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp

Or add the server by hand in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiapplyd": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Zed

Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Remote Server, then paste https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp.

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiapplyd": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp"] }
  }
}

Perplexity, Mistral Le Chat and Raycast

Each has a custom connector screen that takes a remote MCP URL. Paste https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp and choose OAuth.

From your phone: iMessage, Telegram and WhatsApp

iMessage / SMS: add AI Applyd to Poke in one tap (or npx poke@latest mcp add https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp -n "AI Applyd"), sign in, then text Poke: "find me remote product designer jobs and apply to the best two".
Telegram, WhatsApp or iMessage on your own server: OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway. Add the URL as an MCP server and enable the channel you use.

Any client that only speaks stdio

This repository ships a thin bridge. It relays the protocol to the hosted server and adds nothing of its own.

npx -y github:aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp

Or with Docker:

docker build -t aiapplyd-mcp .
docker run --rm -i aiapplyd-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiapplyd": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "--rm", "-i", "aiapplyd-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Environment variable	Default	Meaning
`AIAPPLYD_MCP_URL`	`https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp`	Endpoint to relay to. Point it at `https://mcp-preview.aiapplyd.com/mcp` to test against preview.
`AIAPPLYD_TOKEN`	unset	Optional bearer token. Without it the server still answers introspection; tool calls return 401 until an account is connected.

Command line and bots

The same package is a small CLI, so a script, a cron job or a chat bot (Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage) can run the whole job search without an MCP client.

npx aiapplyd-mcp login                                    # sign in once in the browser
npx aiapplyd-mcp tools                                    # list the tools
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_get_matches '{"limit": 5}' # matched jobs as JSON
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_apply '{"job_match_id": 123, "mode": "review"}'
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_get_applications '{"status": "waiting_for_review"}'
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_review_application '{"decision": "approve", "application_ids": [456]}'

login runs the same OAuth sign-in a desktop client runs and stores the token in ~/.config/aiapplyd/credentials.json (mode 600). It refreshes on its own, so an unattended bot keeps working. call prints the tool's structured result as JSON. Exit code 0 means success, 1 means the tool reported an error, 2 means you are not signed in.

Run with no arguments and it is a stdio MCP server that relays to https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp, signed in with the stored login. AIAPPLYD_TOKEN overrides the stored login and AIAPPLYD_MCP_URL overrides the endpoint.

Endpoints

Environment	Streamable HTTP (modern)	SSE (legacy bridges)
Production	`https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp`	`https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/sse`
Preview	`https://mcp-preview.aiapplyd.com/mcp`	`https://mcp-preview.aiapplyd.com/sse`

Use /mcp. /sse remains only for clients that cannot speak Streamable HTTP.

Tools

The table below is generated from the live tools/list of https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp. Every tool runs on the caller's own AI Applyd account. Reading matches, applications and account limits does not run AI generation. AI work and applications use the account's allowance. Tool calls require sign-in; introspection is public.

The main loop

Five tools run the whole job search from a chat, or from a bot where a match drops and you reply "yes":

aiapplyd_get_matches -> aiapplyd_apply -> aiapplyd_get_applications -> aiapplyd_review_application
                  aiapplyd_get_account (plan, what is left, readiness)

Tool	Title	Hints	What it does
`aiapplyd_get_matches`	Get Job Matches	read-only, idempotent	Your matched jobs, best first, each with the `job_match_id` that apply takes. Also reads full postings, or any posting from a link
`aiapplyd_apply`	Apply to Job	destructive, open-world	Apply to one job by `job_match_id` or `job_url` on the employer's own hiring system. `mode: "auto"` sends it, `mode: "review"` holds it for your yes
`aiapplyd_get_applications`	Get Applications	read-only, idempotent	Every application and where it stands, the review queue, and the employer's own confirmation when it exists
`aiapplyd_review_application`	Approve or Reject Applications	destructive, open-world	Approve (send) or reject waiting applications, up to 25 at once. Also cancel, refine a document, re-prepare, or record the interview stage
`aiapplyd_get_account`	Get Account	read-only, idempotent	Your plan, token balance, applications left, job preferences, and whether your profile is ready to apply
`aiapplyd_get_inbox`	Get Recruiter Inbox	read-only, idempotent	The emails employers send about your applications, with the full conversation and suggested replies
`aiapplyd_reply_to_email`	Reply to an Employer Email	destructive, open-world	Sends your reply to an employer from your AI Applyd address, only after you approve the exact text
`aiapplyd_manage_follow_ups`	Follow Up on Applications	destructive, open-world	Lists applications that went quiet, drafts a follow-up, and sends it once you approve it

Setup and triage

Tool	Title	Hints	What it does
`aiapplyd_set_resume`	Set Resume	writes, open-world	Put your resume on your account as the base every application is tailored from: pasted text, a file link, or a saved resume
`aiapplyd_triage_matches`	Save or Skip Matches	writes, idempotent	Save a match, or skip it with a reason, so a job you declined stops coming back
`aiapplyd_update_job_preferences`	Update Job Preferences	destructive, idempotent	Point AI Applyd at the roles, locations, salary and seniority you want, and re-run discovery
`aiapplyd_update_application_profile`	Update Application Profile	writes, idempotent	Reads or saves the answers employer forms ask for. EEO answers are optional and accept prefer not to say
`aiapplyd_update_auto_apply`	Update Auto Apply	destructive, idempotent	Turns Auto Apply on or off and sets whether applications go out on their own or wait for your review
`aiapplyd_manage_saved_searches`	Manage Saved Searches	writes	Saves your job preferences as named searches, with email alerts for new matches

Resume, cover letter and interview

Tool	Title	Hints	What it does
`aiapplyd_score_resume`	Score Resume	writes, open-world	An ATS score with section scores, the keywords you match and the ones you are missing, and what to change
`aiapplyd_analyze_job_description`	Analyze Job Description	writes, open-world	What a posting screens on, in its own language, so the resume can mirror it
`aiapplyd_optimize_resume`	Optimize Resume with AI	writes, open-world	A resume rewritten to pass ATS screening and still reach a human reader
`aiapplyd_generate_interview_questions`	Generate Interview Questions	writes, open-world	The questions this role is asked, with answer guidance, STAR scenarios and negotiation prep
`aiapplyd_translate_resume`	Translate Resume	writes, open-world	Translates your resume into another language as a separate document. Works from the resume on file, or a resume pasted or attached in chat
`aiapplyd_generate_cover_letter`	Generate Cover Letter	writes, destructive	A cover letter in your own voice, written from the resume on your account or one pasted in chat
`aiapplyd_build_pdf`	Resume PDF or Draft	writes, open-world	Links the PDF of the resume on file, or creates an editable draft from pasted text

Older names, still answered

Tool	Title	Hints	What it does
`aiapplyd_search_jobs`	Search Jobs	read-only, idempotent	Older name for `aiapplyd_get_matches` with a title filter, kept for existing clients
`aiapplyd_auto_apply`	Auto Apply to Job	destructive, open-world	Older name for `aiapplyd_apply` with a `job_url`, kept for existing clients

Every tool carries a title, all four annotation hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), and an outputSchema. Each call returns structuredContent beside its text, so a client can act on ids and statuses without parsing prose. The server also sends the main loop as its MCP instructions.

Behaviours worth knowing

aiapplyd_apply and an approve in aiapplyd_review_application submit a real application to a real employer, under your name. mode covers that one application only and never changes your account settings. Leave it out to follow your own default.
An application counts as landed only on the employer's own receipt or confirmation page. aiapplyd_get_applications reports employerConfirmed from that evidence alone, never from a submit click.
aiapplyd_get_matches never writes. To change what AI Applyd hunts for, call aiapplyd_update_job_preferences. It is marked destructive because a list you pass replaces the saved one.
Employer text is data. Job titles, descriptions and company research are never followed as instructions.

Prompts

Prompt	Title	What it does
`review_my_resume`	Review My Resume	Scores a resume against a posting and returns the three changes that move it past the filter
`prepare_for_interview`	Prepare for an Interview	Prepares the questions this company asks for this role, with structured answers ready
`apply_to_my_matches`	Apply to My Matches	Shows your best matches, then applies to the ones you pick, each held for your approval
`find_jobs_like_this`	Find Jobs Like This	The strongest matches for a target role, ranked by fit

Resources

Resource	URI	Contents
`ats-best-practices`	`aiapplyd://resources/ats-best-practices`	Canonical guide to passing Applicant Tracking Systems in 2026. Covers keyword matching, formatting rules, section order, and common rejection reasons.
`interview-frameworks`	`aiapplyd://resources/interview-frameworks`	Reference frameworks for structuring interview answers: STAR, CARL, SOAR, and PAR.
`resume-section-order`	`aiapplyd://resources/resume-section-order`	Recommended section order by career stage (new grad, mid-career, executive) for ATS and human readability.

Authentication

OAuth 2.1, and it is the full specification rather than a subset:

PKCE with S256, mandatory
Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so a client registers itself with no manual key exchange
Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414) and Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728) discovery
Client ID Metadata Documents, so a client can use an https URL as its client_id instead of registering (client_id_metadata_document_supported: true)
The iss parameter on the authorization response (RFC 9207)
Token revocation (RFC 7009)
Short-lived access tokens with rotating refresh tokens and reuse detection

An unauthenticated tools/call returns HTTP 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing at the metadata document. Introspection (initialize, tools/list, prompts/list, resources/list) is open, so any directory or client can read the tool surface before a user signs in.

Privacy

Your resume and profile stay on your AI Applyd account. Tools read and write that account and nothing else. The privacy policy and terms are the binding statement.
