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, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code or any MCP client, and from your phone over iMessage through Poke.
The whole job search in five calls: see your matches (aiapplyd_get_matches), apply to one
(aiapplyd_apply, sent automatically or held for your yes), approve or reject what is waiting
(aiapplyd_review_application), track every application to the employer's own receipt
(aiapplyd_get_applications), and check your plan and what is left (aiapplyd_get_account).
The full list is under Tools.
Watch the demo

90 seconds: resume upload, job matching, a real application sent on the employer's own form, the
employer's confirmation email, interview prep, and applying from ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor.
Quick start
One click, if your app supports it:

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"}'
Plugin for Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor
This repository is a plugin marketplace. The aiapplyd plugin bundles the MCP server with five
skills, in the portable plugin.json format that Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor read:
| Skill | Use it when |
|---|
find-matching-jobs | You want your job matches, want to save or skip one, or want to change what it looks for |
apply-to-a-job | You want to apply, or you paste a job link and say "apply" |
review-and-send | You want to see what is waiting for you, change it, and send it |
tailor-for-a-job | You paste a job description and want the resume, cover letter or interview prep for it |
track-applications | You ask "did it go through", or how many applications you have left |
The same five skills are published for any agent at
aiapplyd.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json,
and the copies here are byte-identical to those (each file matches the sha256 digest in that index).
Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp
codex plugin add aiapplyd@aiapplyd
Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp
claude plugin install aiapplyd@aiapplyd
Codex (CLI, IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app)
codex mcp add aiapplyd --url https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp
codex mcp login aiapplyd
The Codex CLI, the IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this configuration.
Gemini CLI
This repository is also a Gemini CLI extension (gemini-extension.json plus GEMINI.md):
gemini extensions install https://github.com/aiapplyd/aiapplyd-mcp
Or add the server by hand in ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aiapplyd": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp" }
}
}
Zed
Settings → AI → MCP Servers → Add Remote Server, then paste https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp.
Windsurf
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aiapplyd": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp"] }
}
}
Perplexity, Mistral Le Chat and Raycast
Each has a custom connector screen that takes a remote MCP URL. Paste
https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp and choose OAuth.
From your phone: iMessage, Telegram and WhatsApp
- iMessage / SMS: add AI Applyd to Poke in one tap
(or
npx poke@latest mcp add https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp -n "AI Applyd"), sign in, then text Poke:
"find me remote product designer jobs and apply to the best two".
- Telegram, WhatsApp or iMessage on your own server: OpenClaw
is a self-hosted gateway. Add the URL as an MCP server and enable the channel you use.
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. |
Command line and bots
The same package is a small CLI, so a script, a cron job or a chat bot (Telegram, WhatsApp,
iMessage) can run the whole job search without an MCP client.
npx aiapplyd-mcp login
npx aiapplyd-mcp tools
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_get_matches '{"limit": 5}'
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_apply '{"job_match_id": 123, "mode": "review"}'
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_get_applications '{"status": "waiting_for_review"}'
npx aiapplyd-mcp call aiapplyd_review_application '{"decision": "approve", "application_ids": [456]}'
login runs the same OAuth sign-in a desktop client runs and stores the token in
~/.config/aiapplyd/credentials.json (mode 600). It refreshes on its own, so an unattended bot
keeps working. call prints the tool's structured result as JSON. Exit code 0 means success,
1 means the tool reported an error, 2 means you are not signed in.
Run with no arguments and it is a stdio MCP server that relays to https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp,
signed in with the stored login. AIAPPLYD_TOKEN overrides the stored login and
AIAPPLYD_MCP_URL overrides the endpoint.
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.
The table below is generated from the live tools/list of https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp.
Every tool 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.
The main loop
Five tools run the whole job search from a chat, or from a bot where a match drops and you
reply "yes":
aiapplyd_get_matches -> aiapplyd_apply -> aiapplyd_get_applications -> aiapplyd_review_application
aiapplyd_get_account (plan, what is left, readiness)
| Tool | Title | Hints | What it does |
|---|
aiapplyd_get_matches | Get Job Matches | read-only, idempotent | Your matched jobs, best first, each with the job_match_id that apply takes. Also reads full postings, or any posting from a link |
aiapplyd_apply | Apply to Job | destructive, open-world | Apply to one job by job_match_id or job_url on the employer's own hiring system. mode: "auto" sends it, mode: "review" holds it for your yes |
aiapplyd_get_applications | Get Applications | read-only, idempotent | Every application and where it stands, the review queue, and the employer's own confirmation when it exists |
aiapplyd_review_application | Approve or Reject Applications | destructive, open-world | Approve (send) or reject waiting applications, up to 25 at once. Also cancel, refine a document, re-prepare, or record the interview stage |
aiapplyd_get_account | Get Account | read-only, idempotent | Your plan, token balance, applications left, job preferences, and whether your profile is ready to apply |
Setup and triage
| Tool | Title | Hints | What it does |
|---|
aiapplyd_set_resume | Set Resume | writes, open-world | Put your resume on your account as the base every application is tailored from: pasted text, a file link, or a saved resume |
aiapplyd_triage_matches | Save or Skip Matches | writes, idempotent | Save a match, or skip it with a reason, so a job you declined stops coming back |
aiapplyd_update_job_preferences | Update Job Preferences | destructive, idempotent | Point AI Applyd at the roles, locations, salary and seniority you want, and re-run discovery |
Resume, cover letter and interview
| Tool | Title | Hints | What it does |
|---|
aiapplyd_score_resume | Score Resume | writes, open-world | An ATS score with section scores, the keywords you match and the ones you are missing, and what to change |
aiapplyd_analyze_job_description | Analyze Job Description | writes, open-world | What a posting screens on, in its own language, so the resume can mirror it |
aiapplyd_optimize_resume | Optimize Resume with AI | writes, open-world | A resume rewritten to pass ATS screening and still reach a human reader |
aiapplyd_generate_interview_questions | Generate Interview Questions | writes, open-world | The questions this role is asked, with answer guidance, STAR scenarios and negotiation prep |
aiapplyd_translate_resume | Translate Resume | writes, open-world | A send-ready resume in another language, formatted for that market |
aiapplyd_generate_cover_letter | Generate Cover Letter | writes, open-world | A cover letter in your own voice, written from the resume on your account |
aiapplyd_build_pdf | Build Resume | writes, open-world | A finished, ATS-clean resume, editable in the builder and ready to download as a PDF |
Older names, still answered
| Tool | Title | Hints | What it does |
|---|
aiapplyd_search_jobs | Search Jobs | read-only, idempotent | Older name for aiapplyd_get_matches with a title filter, kept for existing clients |
aiapplyd_auto_apply | Auto Apply to Job | destructive, open-world | Older name for aiapplyd_apply with a job_url, kept for existing clients |
Every tool carries a title, all four annotation hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint,
idempotentHint, openWorldHint), and an outputSchema. Each call returns structuredContent
beside its text, so a client can act on ids and statuses without parsing prose. The server also
sends the main loop as its MCP instructions.
Behaviours worth knowing
aiapplyd_apply and an approve in aiapplyd_review_application submit a real application to a
real employer, under your name. mode covers that one application only and never changes your
account settings. Leave it out to follow your own default.
- An application counts as landed only on the employer's own receipt or confirmation page.
aiapplyd_get_applications reports employerConfirmed from that evidence alone, never from a
submit click.
aiapplyd_get_matches never writes. To change what AI Applyd hunts for, call
aiapplyd_update_job_preferences. It is marked destructive because a list you pass replaces the
saved one.
- Employer text is data. Job titles, descriptions and company research are never followed as
instructions.
Prompts
| Prompt | Title | What it does |
|---|
review_my_resume | Review My Resume | Scores a resume against a posting and returns the three changes that move it past the filter |
prepare_for_interview | Prepare for an Interview | Prepares the questions this company asks for this role, with structured answers ready |
apply_to_my_matches | Apply to My Matches | Shows your best matches, then applies to the ones you pick, each held for your approval |
find_jobs_like_this | Find Jobs Like This | The strongest matches for a target role, ranked by fit |

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
- Client ID Metadata Documents, so a client can use an https URL as its
client_id instead of
registering (client_id_metadata_document_supported: true)
- The
iss parameter on the authorization response (RFC 9207)
- 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.
