With Coverlttr's MCP server, AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and Gemini) can directly inspect your uploaded CVs, check credit balances, estimate drafting costs, write and refine tailored cover letters, apply layout templates, and export finished documents—all without leaving the chat or editor.

## Frequently Asked Questions (MCP)

### What is MCP?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI tools securely call external services. Think of it as a shared language between agents (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and others) and apps like Coverlttr - so your assistant can request context or take actions without custom one-off integrations.

### What does the Coverlttr MCP server do?

It gives MCP-compatible clients secure access to your Coverlttr account: check your profile and available credits, list resumes, estimate credit cost, prepare and regenerate cover letters, apply templates, and export files. You sign in with OAuth - no API keys to paste into config files.

### Who is Coverlttr MCP for?

Anyone who already uses AI to manage job applications. If you live in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you can keep working there while Coverlttr handles drafting, templating, and exports - so you move faster without tab-hopping.

### What can I ask my AI to do with Coverlttr?

Examples:

		

- “How many credits do I have left - can I afford another cover letter?”
- “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.”

### How do I use Coverlttr MCP?

Connect Coverlttr as a remote MCP server in your AI client, then approve access with OAuth when prompted. After that, ask your agent to check credits, draft or regenerate a letter from your uploaded resumes, apply a template, and export a file.

		

Follow the platform-specific install steps on the [homepage MCP section](https://www.coverlttr.com/#mcp) - one-click and copy-paste options for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and more.

### Which platforms are supported?

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`. ChatGPT should use `https://mcp.coverlttr.com/chatgpt/mcp`.

### How is access controlled?

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.
