Before you connect
You need a ResumeForU account and an AI client that supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in. Sign in to ResumeForU on the website once before connecting.
ChatGPT is one option, not a requirement. Other AI tools can use the same MCP server when their client and OAuth configuration support it. A local-only or API-key-only MCP client is not sufficient. Some clients require an administrator to configure their OAuth application; entering the server URL alone does not establish compatibility.
Connect your account
- Sign in to ResumeForU in your browser to establish your product account.
- Open your AI tool's MCP, apps or connection settings.
- Add
https://resumeforu.com/mcpas a remote server. - Select Streamable HTTP and complete OAuth sign-in through the client's supported flow.
- Review the requested resume permissions, then return to your AI chat and choose ResumeForU for the task.
In ChatGPT, use its ResumeForU connection if available, or its custom connection setup if your account and workspace support it. A public directory listing is not required for another compatible client to use its own configured MCP connection. This guide does not promise that a public listing is available to every account.
The URL is a protocol endpoint, not a page to open in your browser. Browser visits do not perform the MCP handshake. Your browser's ResumeForU session does not authorize an MCP client; the client needs its own OAuth grant.
Client and administrator setup
Use the exact MCP resource audience https://resumeforu.com/mcp. A client must support OAuth authorization code with PKCE and the server's advertised protected-resource metadata. Resume permissions are resumes:read, resumes:write and resumes:export.
If your client requires an OAuth application registration or callback URL, ask your administrator or contact support to configure it. Do not reuse the website application's credentials. Never paste passwords, access tokens, authorization codes or client secrets into a chat.
Write your first prompt
Start with your real experience. Ask the assistant to question missing information rather than invent it. Open the copyable example above for a prompt that requests a private draft based only on facts you provide.
The assistant can list templates and your saved resumes, read an owned resume, create a private draft, update its fields, prepare a watermarked preview and generate entitled exports. It cannot publish or delete resumes or initiate purchases. Other features in the browser editor are not automatically available through MCP.
To edit an existing resume, ask the assistant to read its latest contents first and preserve the details you want to keep. If an edit conflicts with a newer change, have it read the resume again before retrying. Repeating a create request creates another draft.
Review and export
Read the saved draft and verify names, dates, qualifications, responsibilities and achievements. Ask for a template preview, then inspect the watermarked page images and page breaks.
Clean PDF, Word and TXT exports require an existing entitlement for that resume. The connection does not take payments. Your AI client's own plan and tool limits apply separately; AI writing is not bundled into the ResumeForU core purchase.
Generated preview and download links expire after five minutes. Ask for a fresh file if needed. A prepared file is not a confirmed download. Inspect the actual export before sending it to an employer, following our export checklist.
Permissions and privacy
The connection can read and edit the resumes you authorize and prepare previews or entitled exports. Resume content required for a tool is returned to your AI client, where that provider's privacy settings and retention practices apply. Share only information you intend that client to process.
Manage the connection and revoke its grant in your AI client or account provider. Already issued access tokens can remain usable until their short expiry; closing your ResumeForU product account blocks subsequent account access.
Optional tool analytics is a separate account choice. Connecting an assistant or accepting website tracking does not enable it. Tools remain available if you decline. Read the product privacy notice for processing, retention and your rights.
If the connection does not work
- Connection unavailable: check remote MCP, Streamable HTTP and OAuth support. Ask your administrator whether client registration is required. A missing directory listing does not rule out a compatible custom connection.
- Sign-in expired: reconnect through your AI client's OAuth flow. Do not share tokens in chat.
- Permission required: reconnect and review the resume permissions your task needs.
- Edit conflict: ask the assistant to read the latest resume before editing again.
- Export unavailable: check that this saved resume already has an export entitlement.
- Expired file link: request a new preview or export instead of reusing the old link.
If your client cannot connect, you can still build and preview in your browser. Contact ResumeForU support with your client name and a sanitized error description. Do not send authentication secrets or private resume content.
