Use CareerMax With Hermes

Connect Hermes

Create a dedicated agent key in CareerMax Settings > API Keys. Provide CAREERMAX_API_KEY through Hermes's secure environment configuration, then add this stdio MCP command:

npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit mcp

Do not place the key in the command, a prompt, scheduled instruction, or repository. A key placed directly in a shell command can remain in shell history.

Verify the account

Ask Hermes:

List the jobs in my CareerMax pipeline.

This read-only request confirms the connection without creating or changing a record.

Build useful routines

Hermes can help you review existing CareerMax context, draft materials, and prepare for interviews. Useful requests include:

• “Summarize my recent interview feedback.”
• “Draft referral outreach for this contact.”
• “Research this company for my interview.”
• “Show my pipeline and suggest what I should follow up on.”

Schedules can remind you to review your pipeline or prepare for an interview. They should not silently create lasting CareerMax records. A scheduled task should present the exact proposed change and wait for your confirmation.

Confirmation and recovery

CareerMax requires a short-lived receipt for lasting pipeline changes. It binds the account, Hermes key, action, and exact details. If the receipt expires or the request changes, Hermes should show the current details and ask again.

If credits block a requested action, Hermes receives the required and available balance plus a recovery path. Credits do not need to appear in every response.

Current limits

The public Hermes integration does not auto-apply, search CareerMax jobs, edit your profile, operate the dashboard Career Coach, generate professional photos, or return protected tailored-resume PDFs yet.

Disconnect

Remove the MCP server from Hermes and revoke its dedicated API key in CareerMax Settings.
