Coming soon
1. Add the server
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user careermax https://mcp.careermax.ai/mcp--scope user makes CareerMax available in every project. Leave it out to add CareerMax to the current project only.
2. Sign in
Start Claude Code, run /mcp, choose careermax and authenticate. Your browser opens the CareerMax sign-in page. Sign in with your CareerMax account, or create one on the same screen. Claude Code stores the token, so you only do this once.
3. Add the skills (optional)
The CareerMax skills add guided workflows on top of the server: setup, the daily brief, applications, outreach, Storybank and interview prep. CareerMax works without them.

Help me find a jobClaude Code asks once for your résumé, drafts your profile and shows it for your approval. After that, say “Run my CareerMax job search brief” each morning.
Check that it works
Run claude mcp list in your terminal. CareerMax shows as connected. If it says it needs authentication, run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in again.
To remove CareerMax, run claude mcp remove careermax. Claude Code deletes the stored sign-in too.
Using Claude on the web or desktop too?
Claude Code and the Claude app keep separate connections. To use CareerMax in both, also set up CareerMax in Claude. It's the same account, so your profile and applications are shared.
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.
