Use CareerMax With OpenClaw

Before you start

Create a dedicated agent API key in CareerMax under Settings > API Keys. Keep it in OpenClaw's environment configuration, not in prompts or chat history.

Install the skill

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

Set CAREERMAX_API_KEY in OpenClaw's secure environment configuration, then configure the CareerMax MCP server with this command:

npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit mcp

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

Remove the skill/MCP configuration and revoke the OpenClaw-specific API key in CareerMax Settings.
