MCP is an open standard that lets AI tools securely call external services. Think of it as a shared language between agents (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others) and apps like Coverlttr — so your assistant can request context or take actions without custom one-off integrations.
It gives MCP-compatible clients secure access to your Coverlttr account: list resumes, estimate credit cost, generate and regenerate cover letters, apply templates, and export files. You sign in with OAuth — no API keys to paste into config files.
Anyone who already uses AI to manage job applications. If you live in Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, you can keep working there while Coverlttr handles drafting, templating, and exports — so you move faster without tab-hopping.
Examples:
- “Use my latest resume and draft a cover letter for this job post.”
- “How many credits will this generation cost?”
- “Regenerate with a warmer tone and more metrics.”
- “Apply the modern professional template and export PDF.”
We publish install paths for Cursor, Claude (Desktop / connectors), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini (CLI / remote MCP), and Windsurf. Any client that speaks remote MCP over HTTP can connect to https://mcp.coverlttr.com.
Connections use OAuth 2.1. Your agent only acts as you after you approve access in the browser. You can disconnect from your AI client’s MCP settings at any time. Coverlttr never asks you to paste long-lived API keys into chat.
