Reactive Resume MCP Server: Setup for Claude Code, Cursor and Other Apps

OfficialRemote
Gethttps://rxresu.me/mcpreactive-resume/reactive-resume

Lets Claude, Cursor and other assistants read and edit your resumes, cover letters and job applications in Reactive Resume.

Reactive Resume is a free, open-source resume builder. Its MCP server lets your assistant list your resumes, change their content, write cover letters and manage job applications when you ask in plain language. The assistant reads a resume before it edits, and each change shows in the resume's history as an AI edit that you can restore.

The server is hosted at the Reactive Resume address and needs a permanent account. You sign in through your browser, or use an API key if your client cannot. If you self-host, use your own address instead.

Good for

  • Job seekers who want an assistant to tailor resumes and track applications
  • Anyone keeping several resume versions for different roles
  • Self-hosters who run their own Reactive Resume instance

Permissions

high risk · 4 things to watch

High risk

The assistant can edit your resumes and permanently delete job applications, and your resume data sits on the Reactive Resume server. Pick read-only access when you connect unless you want it to make changes.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • It can permanently delete applications and everything in Trash

    delete_application and bulk_delete_applications remove applications for good. The api_ tools can purge up to 5,000 trashed documents at once, and api_documents_empty_trash deletes every document in Trash. The docs also list an account-deletion tool that hands off to the browser. Choose read-only access unless you need edits. docs.rxresu.me

  • It can edit and trash your resumes

    Edits appear in version history and deleted resumes stay in Trash for 30 days. Lock the resumes you cannot afford to lose. docs.rxresu.me

  • Some tools send your data to an AI provider

    Four application tools use the AI provider you set up in Reactive Resume. Check that provider's terms first. docs.rxresu.me

  • An API key in a config file is a secret

    The docs say to keep the file private and revoke the key in Settings if it leaks. OAuth avoids copying a secret. docs.rxresu.me

Questions

What is the Reactive Resume MCP server URL?

On the hosted site it is https://rxresu.me/mcp. If you self-host, use your own address followed by /mcp, which you can copy from Settings under AI & developer.

Is the Reactive Resume MCP server official?

Yes. It is part of Reactive Resume itself and listed in the MCP registry under the project's name.

Do I need an account or API key?

You need a permanent Reactive Resume account, because guest accounts cannot connect apps. Sign in with OAuth in your browser (recommended), or use an API key in the x-api-key header if your client cannot do OAuth.

Can I make it read-only?

Yes. Choose read-only access when you approve the connection or create the API key. The client then sees only tools that read.

Can it delete my resumes?

It can move a resume to Trash, where it stays for 30 days. It can also permanently delete applications, and one tool empties the whole trash. Use read-only access or lock important resumes.

Can I undo what the assistant changes?

Yes for resume edits. Every change appears in the resume's version history as an AI edit, so you can restore an earlier version.

Does the tool list show everything?

No. It shows the 43 documented tools. The server adds more tools that start with api_, for history, exports, checks, files and the stage board, so check your client's tool list for the full set.
