AceCV Resume MCP Server

Manage your resume directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible LLM client. Read your CV, edit sections, regenerate summaries — all without leaving your editor.

What is the AceCV MCP server?

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.

Quick start

  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.

Configuration examples

Drop the snippet below into your client config file. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token you generated in step 1.

Claude Desktop
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acecv": {
      "url": "https://acecv.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) · %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

Cursor / Generic stdio

Cursor and most other MCP clients accept the same mcpServers JSON above. Drop it into the client's settings file and restart.

Available MCP tools

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

  • list_resumes Return a list of every resume in your AceCV account with id, title, and last-updated timestamp.
  • get_resume Read the full content of a single resume by id, including all sections and metadata.
  • update_section Update a single section (summary, experience entry, skills, etc.) on a resume you own.
  • rewrite_bullet Trigger an AI rewrite of a single bullet point on a resume, returning the three variants.
  • score_resume Run the AI scorer against a resume and return the 0–100 score plus the structured suggestions.

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed" in my client

Your token is missing, expired, or copied with whitespace. Regenerate it from the AceCV token manager and paste it without surrounding quotes.

The server is not showing up in my client tool list

Restart your MCP client after editing the config — most clients only read the file at startup.

My LLM cannot find a resume I just created

The MCP server caches the resume list briefly. Wait 30 seconds or ask the LLM to "list resumes" to force a refresh.

I want to limit what the LLM can change

Today every token has full read/write on your account. Scoped tokens (read-only, single-resume) are on the roadmap.
