Use CareerMax With OpenClaw

Before you start

CareerMax can now connect through browser login. Manual API keys are still available when OpenClaw is running somewhere that cannot open a browser or keep local toolkit auth.

Paste this into OpenClaw:

Please connect CareerMax to OpenClaw. Install the CareerMax skill, run npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit auth login, walk me through browser authentication, then run npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit auth check. Configure the CareerMax MCP server with npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit mcp, then verify with “show my CareerMax pipeline.”

Install the skill

npx skills add https://github.com/rahulphenomenon/careermax-skills --skill careermax

Then connect the toolkit:

npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit auth login
npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit auth check

Configure the CareerMax MCP server with this command:

npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit mcp

If browser login is not available, create a dedicated agent API key in CareerMax under Settings > API Keys and set CAREERMAX_API_KEY in OpenClaw's secure environment configuration. Do not put the key directly in the command because doing so can leave it in shell history.

First useful requests

Begin with read-only requests:

• “Show my CareerMax pipeline.”
• “What does my latest resume analysis say?”
• “Show my recent interview feedback.”

Then try a clearly requested draft:

• “Draft a cover letter using this resume and job description.”
• “Research ExampleCo for my product interview.”

Lasting changes

When you ask OpenClaw to add or update a pipeline record, CareerMax returns the exact proposed change. OpenClaw should ask a question such as:

Shall I add Product Manager at ExampleCo to your pipeline as Watchlist?

Only the exact confirmed request can use the short-lived receipt. If OpenClaw changes the company, role, status, or other details, CareerMax requires a new confirmation.

Credits

Ask OpenClaw for your CareerMax balance, an action cost, or refresh timing when you need it. Normal workflow responses should not repeat credit usage. If an insufficient balance blocks a request, CareerMax returns a clear error and billing path.

Current limits

The public OpenClaw 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

Run npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit auth logout, remove the skill/MCP configuration, and revoke the OpenClaw-specific API key in CareerMax Settings if it is still listed.
