AceCV Resume MCP Server

What is the AceCV MCP server?

https://acecv.io/mcp

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets LLM clients connect to external data sources and tools. The AceCV MCP server exposes your saved resumes to compatible clients — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, and others — so you can read and update them through natural language without copy-pasting.

Who can use this feature

• Any AceCV user with an account — generate an MCP token from this page.
• Any MCP client that supports streamable HTTP servers and custom headers or bearer tokens.
• Examples: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other MCP clients with remote HTTP support.

Setup instructions

1. 1

   1. Generate an MCP token

   Sign in to AceCV, open the MCP token manager from your account menu, and create a new token. Copy it — you will not see it again.

2. 2

   2. Configure your LLM client

   Add an entry to your MCP client config pointing to the AceCV server with your token. See the configuration examples below for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others.

3. 3

   3. Try a prompt

   In your client, ask "list my resumes" or "rewrite the first bullet of my latest CV to be more impact-focused" — the LLM will call AceCV through MCP and apply the change.

Available MCP tools

The AceCV MCP server currently exposes the following tools to LLM clients. The list grows as we ship more.

Resources & prompts

• available-themes resource — the list of CV themes with names and descriptions.
• create-resume prompt — guided, step-by-step resume creation for a target job title.
• review-resume prompt — a full review that analyzes, spell-checks, and suggests improvements for a CV.

How resume access works

• list-cvs returns compact summaries for the authenticated user.
• get-cv returns the complete stored resume document.
• create-cv and update-cv write back through your authenticated account context.
• On every read and write, AceCV verifies the CV belongs to the token's user before touching it.

Session behavior and security

• Authentication uses personal access tokens sent as a standard Authorization: Bearer header.
• The token is shown once at creation — store it in your client config, never in chat.
• Every request runs in your account context: tools can only see and edit your own CVs.
• Revoke a token at any time from the token manager on this page; access stops immediately.
