<Update label="v5.0.7" description="9th February 2026">
- Introduce a new **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that lets you manage and edit resumes from any MCP-compatible AI tool — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, and more. Supports listing, reading, creating, deleting, locking/unlocking, and patching resumes via natural language. [(guide)](/guides/using-the-mcp-server)
- Add an **AI Chat** panel to the resume builder, allowing you to modify your resume through conversational AI directly within the editor. The chat uses tool-calling to apply JSON Patch operations to your resume in real-time, with visual feedback for each change.
- Add a system prompt and `patch_resume` tool for the AI chat, enabling structured, minimal-diff resume edits following RFC 6902 JSON Patch operations.
- Chat history is now persisted per resume in localStorage, so conversations are preserved across sessions.
- Fix rendering issues in the Lapras and Onyx resume templates.
- Improvements to the Combobox and ScrollArea UI components.
- Fix an issue with skills item rendering in the shared resume components.
- Update authentication configuration and auth route handling.
- Update the JSON Schema to reflect the latest resume data model.
- Update dependencies to the latest versions.
</Update>
<Update label="v5.0.6" description="8th February 2026">
- Implement Atomic Resume Patching API for fine-grained resume updates, allowing partial, atomic updates to resumes via a new PATCH endpoint. [#2692](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/pull/2692)
- The API endpoint `PUT /resume/{id}` now returns the updated resume object instead of void. Also, resume routing/services now use explicit DTOs for input and output schemas. [#2688](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/pull/2688)

title: "Using the MCP Server"
description: "Connect Reactive Resume to AI tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex using the Model Context Protocol"
---
The Reactive Resume MCP server lets you manage and modify your resumes through any MCP-compatible AI tool — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, and more. It connects to the Reactive Resume API and exposes tools for listing, reading, and patching resumes using natural language.
## What is MCP?
The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is a standard that lets LLM-powered tools connect to external services. Instead of being limited to the built-in chat UI, you can use any MCP client to interact with your resumes.
## Prerequisites
<Steps>
<Step title="Create an API key">
Follow the [Using the API](/guides/using-the-api) guide to create an API key in your Reactive Resume dashboard.
</Step>
<Step title="Install Node.js">
The MCP server requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) version 18 or later.
</Step>
<Step title="Install dependencies">
From the Reactive Resume repository root, install dependencies (the MCP server uses the main project's dependencies):
```bash
cd /path/to/reactive-resume
pnpm install
```
</Step>
</Steps>
## Running the MCP server
The server is a single TypeScript entry point and is run with **tsx** (no build step). From the repository root:
```bash
npx tsx /path/to/reactive-resume/mcp/index.ts
```
The working directory must be the **repository root** so that `node_modules` (and thus `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`) is resolved. Configure your MCP client with `cwd` set to the repo path.
## Configuration
### Claude Desktop
Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"reactive-resume": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["tsx", "/path/to/reactive-resume/mcp/index.ts"],
"cwd": "/path/to/reactive-resume",
"env": {
"REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"REACTIVE_RESUME_URL": "https://rxresu.me"
}
}
}
}
```
<Info>
Replace `/path/to/reactive-resume` with the actual path to your cloned repository, and `your-api-key` with the API key you created.
</Info>
### Cursor
Add the following to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project or home directory:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"reactive-resume": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["tsx", "/path/to/reactive-resume/mcp/index.ts"],
"cwd": "/path/to/reactive-resume",
"env": {
"REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"REACTIVE_RESUME_URL": "https://rxresu.me"
}
}
}
}
```
## Available Tools
The MCP server exposes three tools:
| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `list_resumes` | List all your resumes with their IDs, names, tags, and status |
| `get_resume` | Get the full data of a specific resume by ID |
| `patch_resume` | Apply JSON Patch operations to modify a resume |
## Available Resources
| Resource | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `resume://{id}` | The full resume data as a readable JSON resource |
| `resume://schema` | The ResumeData JSON schema for understanding the data structure |
## Usage Examples
Once your MCP client is connected, you can use natural language to interact with your resumes:
### Browsing
- "List my resumes"
- "Show me my resume named 'Software Engineer'"
- "What skills are listed on my resume?"
### Editing
- "Update my name to Jane Doe"
- "Change my headline to Senior Software Engineer"
- "Add TypeScript to my skills with an Advanced proficiency level"
- "Add a new experience entry for my role as Staff Engineer at Acme Corp from Jan 2024 to Present"
- "Remove the third item from my skills section"
### Styling
- "Change the template to bronzor"
- "Set the primary color to blue"
- "Hide the interests section"
<Tip>
The AI will use `get_resume` to inspect your current resume before making changes with `patch_resume`. This ensures the correct JSON paths are used.
</Tip>
## Self-Hosting
If you're running a self-hosted Reactive Resume instance, set `REACTIVE_RESUME_URL` to your instance URL:
```json
{
"env": {
"REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"REACTIVE_RESUME_URL": "https://resume.example.com"
}
}
```
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY` | Yes | — | API key from Reactive Resume settings |
| `REACTIVE_RESUME_URL` | No | `https://rxresu.me` | Base URL of the Reactive Resume instance |
| `TRANSPORT` | No | `stdio` | Transport mode: `stdio` or `http` |
| `PORT` | No | `3100` | Port for streamable HTTP transport |
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
| --- | --- |
| "REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY is required" | Set the `REACTIVE_RESUME_API_KEY` environment variable in your MCP client configuration |
| "API error (401)" | Your API key is invalid or expired. Create a new one in the dashboard |
| "API error (404)" | The resume ID doesn't exist. Use `list_resumes` to find valid IDs |
| "API error (403)" | The resume is locked. Unlock it in the Reactive Resume dashboard |
| Connection refused | Check that `REACTIVE_RESUME_URL` is correct and the instance is running |
| Module not found / Cannot find package | Ensure `cwd` is the repository root so the main project's `node_modules` is used |
