Overview

JSON Resume MCP Server is a tool that automates the process of updating your JSON Resume by analyzing your coding projects. It enhances AI assistants' capabilities to check for existing resumes, analyze codebases, and update resumes with relevant project details.

To use the MCP Server, install it via NPM and configure it with your GitHub and OpenAI credentials. Once set up, you can ask your AI assistant to enhance your resume with details from your current project or check your resume status.

  • Resume Enhancement: Automatically updates your resume with project details based on code analysis. - GitHub Integration: Fetches and updates resumes stored in GitHub Gists. - AI-Powered Descriptions: Uses OpenAI to generate professional descriptions of projects and skills. - TypeScript Validation: Ensures compliance with the JSON Resume standard. - Compatibility: Works seamlessly with the JSON Resume ecosystem.
  1. Automatically updating resumes with new project information.
  2. Analyzing codebases to extract technical skills.
  3. Enhancing resumes for job applications with AI-generated content.
