Agents CLI + Job Booster

1. Claude Code: claude mcp add with SSE transport to the Job Booster URL.
2. Cursor: remote entry in .cursor/mcp.json (see snippet).
3. Scripts: JSON-RPC POST to /api/mcp with Bearer API key.
4. Never commit API keys; rotate in Settings → Developer if leaked.

OAuth sign-in is recommended. Developer API keys from Settings → Developer work for clients that cannot open the browser consent flow. Confirm with you before delete_resume, set_application_status, or other mutating tools that change your pipeline.

• Claude Code

  Interactive terminal sessions with OAuth when available.

• curl / HTTP

  tools/list and tools/call for integration debugging.

• Cursor remote

  Same URL as chat clients; type remote in mcp.json.

• No job-booster-cli npm

  Clients speak MCP directly—there is no standalone CLI package.

Agents act on your Job Booster account—resumes, filters, radar companies, applications, and interview prep—only after you connect with OAuth.

• Job board
• Applications
• Resume builder
• Company guides
• MCP docs

• Difference between OAuth MCP and API key auth for Job Booster.
• List environment variables documented on /docs/mcp.

Ask the agent to summarize planned changes before calling write tools. Job Booster MCP does not submit job applications on employer sites without you using the product’s apply flows—agents help you search, tailor, and track.

Is Job Booster preinstalled in ChatGPT or Claude?

No. Add Job Booster as a custom MCP connector and sign in with OAuth when the client opens the consent flow. We do not ship a marketplace directory listing.

Will the agent apply to jobs without asking me?

MCP helps you search, tailor resumes, track applications, and draft documents. Submitting applications on employer ATS sites still goes through Job Booster flows you control. Confirm before set_application_status or delete_resume.

Can agents read my entire inbox or LinkedIn?

Tools only access data in your Job Booster account—resumes, saved jobs, applications, radar companies, and related intel—not your unrelated email or social passwords.

Do I need an API key?

OAuth is preferred in interactive clients. Settings → Developer provides API keys for headless scripts that cannot open the browser login.

Is there a Job Booster CLI npm package?

No. Use MCP-compatible clients (Claude Code, Cursor, curl) against https://myjobbooster.com/api/mcp.
