CareerMax MCP integration
Use CareerMax with Hermes
Connect Hermes to CareerMax's MCP server for grounded career conversations, useful drafts, interview preparation, and carefully confirmed pipeline updates.
Setup command
npx -y @careermax/agent-toolkit mcpWhat works today
The public toolkit is useful now, and the list below is deliberately narrower than the CareerMax dashboard.
- Read your profile, resume, job pipeline, interview history, and saved research.
- Review resume text, draft cover letters, research companies, find potential referrals, and create learning material.
- Add or update pipeline records after CareerMax shows the exact lasting change and you confirm it.
- Create an interview-practice link after reviewing the role, company, mode, and duration.
Designed to ask before it changes things
Read-only requests proceed directly. Before a lasting pipeline change, CareerMax returns the exact details and a short-lived confirmation receipt. The receipt only works for that account, agent key, and unchanged request.
“Shall I add Product Manager at ExampleCo to your pipeline as Watchlist?”
Connect safely
- 1Create a dedicated agent API key in CareerMax Settings and copy it once.
- 2Add the CareerMax stdio MCP server to Hermes and provide CAREERMAX_API_KEY only through its environment configuration.
- 3Verify the connection with a read-only request such as “list my pipeline.”
- 4Review every proposed durable action in the conversation and revoke the key from CareerMax when disconnecting.
Current boundaries
- CareerMax does not expose auto-apply to general AI agents.
- Job search, profile editing, Career Coach actions, professional photos, and tailored PDF delivery are not yet available through the public agent toolkit.
- Agent API keys are separate from extension keys and can be revoked from CareerMax Settings.
- Credits are explained when you ask or when an insufficient balance blocks a request, not in every response.
