AI Applyd

---

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.

Every application goes in on the company's real careers page, under your name, with your own materials. It lands on all fifteen major ATS platforms: Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, iCIMS, Personio, Recruitee, Teamtailor, Rippling, Breezy, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, JazzHR and softgarden.

Nothing to install. Connect once and run it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.

Quick start

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"}'

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.

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

Ten tools. Every one runs on the caller's own AI Applyd account and spends that account's own credits. The server holds no allowance of its own and there is no anonymous tool.

Tool	Read-only	What you get
aiapplyd_score_resume	yes	An overall ATS score plus section scores, the keywords you match, the ones you are missing, and what to change
aiapplyd_analyze_job_description	yes	What the posting screens on, in its own language
aiapplyd_generate_interview_questions	yes	The questions this role is asked, with answer guidance and negotiation prep
aiapplyd_search_jobs	yes	The roles worth pursuing, scored against your profile
aiapplyd_optimize_resume	no	A resume that passes ATS screening and still reaches a human reader
aiapplyd_translate_resume	no	A send-ready resume in another language, formatted for that market
aiapplyd_generate_cover_letter	no	A cover letter in your own voice, from the resume already on your account
aiapplyd_build_pdf	no	A finished, ATS-clean resume, editable in the builder and ready to download
aiapplyd_update_job_preferences	destructive	Direct the search at the roles and locations you are targeting. A supplied list replaces the stored one.
aiapplyd_auto_apply	destructive	One specific job, applied for end to end on the employer's own system

Every tool declares readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, so a client can tell at a glance which calls change something in the world.

Two behaviours worth knowing

• aiapplyd_search_jobs never writes. It reads your saved matches. To change what AI Applyd hunts for, call aiapplyd_update_job_preferences.
• aiapplyd_auto_apply submits a real application to a real employer. It follows the review setting already on your account: auto-approve submits on its own, co-pilot routes it to your review queue. It never changes that setting, and it never applies to anything but the one job URL you hand it.

Prompts

Prompt	What it does
review_my_resume	Scores a resume against a posting and returns the three changes that move it past the filter
prepare_for_interview	Prepares the questions this company asks, with structured answers ready
find_jobs_like_this	The strongest matches for a target role, ranked by fit

Resources

Resource	Contents
ats-best-practices	Canonical ATS rules, keyword strategy, and formatting pitfalls
interview-frameworks	STAR, CARL, SOAR and PAR answer frameworks for behavioural interviews
resume-section-order	Optimal resume section order by career stage

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
• 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.

Verify it yourself

SID=$(curl -s -D- -o /dev/null -X POST https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"probe","version":"1"}}}' \
  | grep -i '^mcp-session-id' | tr -d '\r' | awk '{print $2}')

curl -s -X POST https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H "Mcp-Session-Id: $SID" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}'

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.

About this repository

The hosted server runs on Cloudflare Workers and its source is not public. This repository is the public home of the MCP server: the server.json manifest, the connection documentation, and the small stdio bridge above. The bridge is MIT licensed and forwards messages verbatim, so you can read every line of what runs on your machine.
