Reactive Resume MCP
The official Reactive Resume MCP server and skill: the agent builds and edits resumes and runs a job application tracker
Install
codex mcp add reactive-resume --url https://rxresu.me/mcpThis is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
Reactive Resume is an open source resume builder, and its MCP server gives the agent access to your resumes and application tracker through the service API. The agent can edit resumes, create and import applications from spreadsheets, move stages, add notes and attach sent PDFs. Application Copilot tools score how a resume matches a job, tailor the resume and draft messages. The resume-builder skill in the repository teaches the agent to ask clarifying questions, avoid inventing experience and output JSON in the Reactive Resume schema.
Who it is for. For job seekers and recruiters who keep resumes in Reactive Resume and want to work with them through an agent.
Good fit when
- You want to build a resume in conversation and get it straight into the builder
- You need to tailor a resume to a specific job
- You want to track applications with stages and follow-ups
Not a fit when
- You need a resume in another platform's format rather than Reactive Resume
- You do not want to give an agent access to personal data in your account
Example request
Add an application for the job at this link, link my resume and score how well it matchesLimitations
Requires an account on rxresu.me or a self-hosted instance. Clients without OAuth support need an API key from settings, and the mcp-remote bridge needs Node.js 20+. The resume-builder skill has no install command and must be copied manually. Review AI-drafted messages before sending.
How to disable. Remove the reactive-resume block from the MCP config and revoke the API key under Settings, API Keys.

README in short
Reactive Resume is a free open source resume builder focused on privacy that can be self-hosted. The docs describe an MCP server at https://rxresu.me/mcp over Streamable HTTP, sign-in with OAuth or an API key, and an mcp-remote bridge for clients without URL support. Separate guides cover the application tracker over MCP. MIT licensed.
FAQ
OAuth or API key?
OAuth if your client supports it. An API key in the x-api-key header is only a fallback.
Does it work with a self-hosted instance?
Yes, a self-hosted Reactive Resume serves MCP on its own domain.
