PROTEUS MCP Server
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@PROTEUS MCP ServerMatch my resume to this job description, provide score, gaps, and bullet rewrites"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
What It Does
PROTEUS MCP wraps a 5-agent resume-matching pipeline as 6 discrete MCP tools. Paste a job description and resume into Claude Desktop / Claude Code / OpenCode — get a deterministic match score, gap analysis, bullet rewrites, and a tailored cover letter.
No vector DB. No black-box scoring. No hosted service. Just deterministic math over embeddings, exposed as protocol-level tools you can explain in an interview.
Why MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools. This server proves you understand the protocol — stdio transport, JSON-RPC tool schemas, discrete tool boundaries — not just "I called an LLM API."

}Determinism
Component | Deterministic? | Why |
| Yes | Pure math — weighted category scoring, no LLM |
| Yes | Cosine similarity — no temperature, no sampling |
| Near-yes | Temperature pinned to 0; verified identical JSON on repeat |
| Near-yes | Temperature pinned to 0; verified identical JSON on repeat |
| No | Temperature 0.3, creative generation |
| No | Temperature 0.4, creative generation |
The fast-path pipeline (match_resume_to_jd) is effectively deterministic — identical inputs produce identical scores and gap counts across repeated runs.
Scoring Formula
overall = hard_skills(50%) + domain_keywords(20%) + soft_skills(15%) + ats_bait(15%)
category_score = (matched * 1.0 + partial * 0.6) / totalLatency
Measured with real JD + resume pairs (Google Cloud SRE role vs. 7-year backend engineer):
Stage | Cold Start | Warm |
Parse JD + Resume (parallel) | 4.7s | 2-3s |
Gap Analysis | 1.9s | 1-2s |
Aggregate (pure math) | 0.0s | 0.0s |
Total (fast path) | 6.6s | 4-5s |
Rewrite + Cover Letter | +20-40s | +15-30s |
Total (full pipeline) | ~90s | ~60s |

Privacy
No persistence — resume/JD text never written to disk or logs
No auth — local-only, single-user, no multi-tenant overhead
No vector DB — on-the-fly embedding comparison, not stored
No remote transport — stdio only, no SSE/HTTP exposure
Calls pipeline functions directly — bypasses Next.js API routes and database
