Set up CareerMax in ChatGPT

Add CareerMax to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server, sign in with your CareerMax account, then say "@CareerMax run my job search brief". It takes a few minutes.

Coming soon

The CareerMax connectors for Claude and ChatGPT launch soon. This page shows how to connect them.

1. Add CareerMax to ChatGPT

Do this on chatgpt.com in a browser.

  1. Open Plugins (chatgpt.com/plugins).

  2. Select +, then Add custom MCP server.

  3. Name it CareerMax and paste this server URL:

    https://mcp.careermax.ai/mcp

  4. Set authentication to OAuth.

  5. ChatGPT warns that it hasn't reviewed this server. Check the URL is mcp.careermax.ai, then select I understand and want to continue.

  6. Select Create as a plugin.

Once CareerMax is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, you can install it from there instead and skip the URL.

2. Sign in

ChatGPT opens the CareerMax sign-in page. Sign in with your CareerMax account, or create one on the same screen. ChatGPT never sees your password, and CareerMax only acts on the account you sign in with.

3. Start your job search

Start a new chat, type @, choose CareerMax and ask:

@CareerMax help me find a job

ChatGPT asks once for your résumé, drafts your profile from it and shows everything for your approval. Then it shows today's best jobs for you. Each morning after that, say:

@CareerMax run my job search brief

The same profile, jobs and applications show up in Claude and the CareerMax app. It's one account.

If CareerMax won't connect

  • There's no "Add custom MCP server" option. Turn on Developer mode under Settings, then Security and login, and look again. On a Business or Enterprise workspace, an admin has to allow custom MCP servers first.
  • Sign-in doesn't finish. Allow pop-ups for chatgpt.com, then open CareerMax under Plugins and connect again.
  • ChatGPT answers without CareerMax. Start a new chat and mention @CareerMax in your message.
  • Tools or cards look out of date. Open CareerMax under Plugins and select Refresh, then start a new chat.

ChatGPT doesn't show upgrade or buy-credit links. Manage your plan and credits in the CareerMax app. More fixes are in Troubleshooting.

Set up CareerMax in Claude

Add the CareerMax connector to Claude, sign in, and approve the profile Claude drafts from your résumé. It takes about five minutes. Then schedule your daily job search brief.

Set up CareerMax in Claude Code

Add the CareerMax MCP server to Claude Code with one command, sign in with /mcp, and optionally install the CareerMax skills. Then run your job search from the terminal.
