Set up CareerMax in Claude

Set up CareerMax for my job search.
1. If CareerMax isn't connected yet, give me this link to add it, then wait until I say it's connected: https://careermax.ai/claude
2. Set up my CareerMax profile from my résumé and show me today's best jobs for me.
3. Schedule "Run my CareerMax job search brief" for every weekday at 8 AM. If scheduling isn't available on my plan, tell me how to run it myself.

1. Add the connectorCopy Anchor Link

Tap Add to Claude above. Claude opens its "Add custom connector" form with CareerMax already filled in. Claude shows a notice because the link came from outside Claude. Check that the URL is mcp.careermax.ai, tap Continue, then confirm.

Do this on claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app. On another computer, open careermax.ai/claude to get the same form. Once it's added, CareerMax works in Claude on your phone too. Signed in to CareerMax on the web? AI agents in the sidebar has the same button and setup prompt.

To add it by hand, open Connectors in Claude's settings, choose Add custom connector, name it CareerMax and paste this URL:

2. Sign inCopy Anchor Link

Claude asks you to connect CareerMax. Sign in with your CareerMax account, or create one on the same screen. Claude never sees your password, and CareerMax only acts on the account you sign in with.

3. Set up your profile in one goCopy Anchor Link

Start a new chat and paste the setup prompt from the top of this page. Or just say:

Help me find a job

Claude asks once for your résumé. Attach it, paste it, or describe your experience if you don't have one. From that, and from what it already knows about you, Claude drafts:

• Job preferences: target roles, locations, remote, hybrid or on-site, level, and minimum pay if you've mentioned it.
• Facts employers ask for: work authorization, visa sponsorship, your city, phone and LinkedIn. Anything Claude doesn't know stays empty rather than guessed.
• Your applicant email, such as averychen@apply.myresume.page. Employers write to it and CareerMax forwards their emails to you. You can't change it later, so pick a handle you're happy with.
• Daily outreach, on or off: 3 new companies a day worth reaching out to, 1 credit each, free when nobody is found.

Claude shows all of it once. Change anything in the chat, then approve. Claude saves everything and shows today's best jobs for you. The first search takes about a minute.

4. Schedule your job search briefCopy Anchor Link

On a paid Claude plan, Claude can run your brief for you every weekday morning. The setup prompt asks Claude to schedule it for 8 AM. To set it up yourself:

1. In Claude, open Scheduled and create a new task.

2. Use this prompt:

   Run my CareerMax job search brief

3. Pick a time, such as 8:00 AM on weekdays.

Scheduled tasks aren't available on free Claude plans. Start a chat each morning and say “Run my CareerMax job search brief” instead.

Check that it worksCopy Anchor Link

Ask Claude:

Show my CareerMax account overview

Claude replies with your name, credits and anything setup still needs. If it answers without CareerMax, see the fixes below.

If CareerMax won't connectCopy Anchor Link

• Claude warns that the link came from outside Claude. That's expected for links from other websites. Check that the URL is mcp.careermax.ai and tap Continue.
• You're on a free Claude plan and already have a custom connector. Free plans allow one. Remove the other one under Connectors in Claude's settings, or upgrade your Claude plan.
• You're on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan. An owner adds custom connectors for the organization. Ask yours to add CareerMax with the URL above, then connect it from your own settings.
• Sign-in doesn't open or doesn't finish. Allow pop-ups for claude.ai, then try again from Connectors in Claude's settings.
• Claude answers without using CareerMax. Check that CareerMax is turned on in the chat's tools menu, then ask again and mention CareerMax by name.
• CareerMax isn't in Claude on your phone. Add it on claude.ai or the desktop app first. It then shows up on mobile.
