ResumeStart for ChatGPT & Claude

ResumeStart runs as a Model Context Protocol connector, so you can build, tailor, ATS-score, and write cover letters for your resume without leaving ChatGPT or Claude. Everything saves to your ResumeStart account, and PDF links come back in the reply.

Connector URL

https://resumestart.ai/api/mcp

What you can do

Describe your background in plain language and the assistant assembles a real resume; from there you can tailor it to a posting, check its ATS score, and generate a matching cover letter — all in the same conversation.

  • generate_resumeBuild a professional resume from the details you share in the conversation. Saves it to your ResumeStart account and returns a PDF download link plus an editable preview.
  • tailor_resumeRewrite a saved resume to match a specific job description — weaving in the role's keywords without fabricating experience — and save it as a new tailored copy. Your original is never changed.
  • ats_scoreScore a saved resume against a job description: overall ATS match, matched and missing keywords, and concrete fixes.
  • generate_cover_letterWrite a tailored cover letter from a saved resume for a specific role and company.
  • get_usage_statusCheck how many free uses remain for a feature and see your current plan.

Connect in ChatGPT

ResumeStart works in ChatGPT via connectors. If your ChatGPT plan exposes developer mode or custom connectors, add the connector URL directly:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors (or Developer mode) in ChatGPT.
  2. Add a connector and paste: https://resumestart.ai/api/mcp
  3. Authorize and sign in to your ResumeStart account.

A one-click listing in the ChatGPT app directory is rolling out — until then, the custom connector URL above provides the same tools.

Accounts, quotas & Pro

A free ResumeStart account is required so your resumes are saved and private to you. The free plan is generous — unlimited ATS score checks, plus a daily allowance of AI tailoring and cover letters. Pro removes the daily caps.

When you reach a free limit inside the assistant, the tool returns a short note with an upgrade link — no interruption to your conversation. See pricing.

Data & privacy

Connecting authorizes ResumeStart via OAuth with these scopes: resume:read resume:write billing:read. The connector only reads and writes resumes in your account — it never posts anywhere else or touches other users' data.

Resume content you provide is stored in your ResumeStart account so you can edit and export it on the web. You can disconnect the connector at any time from your AI client's settings, and delete your data from your account settings. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
