Resume Analyzer MCP Server 📄🎯

An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Python (mcp SDK) that allows AI models (Claude, Antigravity, Cursor) to analyze resumes, calculate objective ATS (Applicant Tracking System) scores, and suggest job-tailored CV improvements.

🌟 Features

🛠️ Tools

  1. analyze_resume(resume_text: str, target_job_title: str)

    • Evaluates structural completeness (Summary, Experience, Education, Skills, Projects).

    • Detects high-impact action verbs and quantitative performance metrics (e.g. %, $, multipliers).

    • Identifies role-aligned key skills.

  2. suggest_improvements(resume_text: str, target_job_title: str)

    • Generates actionable, role-tailored bullet point enhancements.

    • Identifies weak/passive phrasing and recommends high-impact verb upgrades.

    • Applies the Google 'XYZ Formula' (Accomplished X, as measured by Y, by doing Z).

  3. calculate_ats_score(resume_text: str, job_description: str)

    • Compares resume text against a target job description.

    • Calculates a precise ATS Match Percentage Score (e.g. ATS Score: 82%).

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It states the tool analyzes multiple qualitative and quantitative aspects, implying it is a read-only analytical operation. However, it doesn't disclose any side effects, dependencies, or the format of the output, leaving some behavioral ambiguity.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is succinct—a single sentence that front-loads the core purpose. It is appropriately concise and avoids redundant wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's moderate complexity, the description covers key analysis dimensions but lacks details on output and optional parameter usage. An output schema exists, so return format details are less critical, but the incomplete parameter guidance lowers the score.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for parameter meaning. It doesn't elaborate on resume_text format or clarify the role of target_job_title even though it's optional. This is a significant gap for a tool with only two parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly identifies the action (analyzes) and the resource (resume), and lists several specific aspects: structure, completeness, impact metrics, action verbs, and skills. This distinguishes it well from siblings like suggest_improvements and calculate_ats_score, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when a resume analysis is needed, listing key analysis dimensions. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to use calculate_ats_score for scoring or suggest_improvements for changes.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

calculate_ats_scoreA

Calculates ATS match percentage score (0-100%) by comparing resume text against a job description.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the output range (0-100%), the input types (resume text and job description), and the comparison action. This makes the tool's behavior clear, though it does not detail any underlying algorithm or edge cases, which is acceptable for a simple calculation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the main purpose, and contains no fluff. Every word adds value, making it appropriately concise and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with two string inputs and a numeric output, the description is complete. It explains the core functionality, and since an output schema exists, return values need not be elaborated. The tool's simplicity and clear purpose mean no additional behavioral context is required.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must add meaning. It does this by explicitly stating that resume text is compared against a job description, clarifying the role of each parameter. Although parameter names are self-explanatory, the description reinforces their relationship and intended use.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool calculates an ATS match percentage score (0-100%) by comparing resume text against a job description. This specific verb and resource set it apart from sibling tools like analyze_resume and suggest_improvements, which likely focus on other aspects.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage contexts: use when you need a numeric ATS match score. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool over siblings or when not to use it. The guidance is implied rather than explicit.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It accurately states the tool generates recommendations without side effects, but it does not elaborate on the nature of the output, whether it reads or writes data, or any limitations. This is adequate for a simple suggestion tool but lacks depth, missing an opportunity to clarify that it is non-destructive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the main action and clearly states the domain. Every word adds value, and it is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity, achieving maximum conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's low complexity (2 parameters, 1 optional) and the presence of an output schema (which likely documents return values), the description is mostly sufficient but leaves out any mention of the target_job_title parameter. It does not explain when to use this tool, but the core purpose is clear. It barely meets the minimum viable standard for completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaningful detail about resume_text (referencing bullet points, action verbs, formatting), but completely ignores the optional target_job_title parameter. This leaves a significant gap in understanding how the second parameter behaves, earning a below-average score.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly uses a specific verb ('Generates') and resource ('actionable recommendations to optimize bullet points, action verbs, and formatting'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like analyze_resume or calculate_ats_score, though the focus on improvement recommendations is distinct enough to infer a difference.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus its siblings. There is no mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or typical scenarios. The only hint is the verb 'Generates', which implies a recommendation role, but no explicit usage context is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The three tools have distinct purposes: analyzing resume quality, suggesting improvements, and calculating ATS match. However, 'analyze_resume' and 'suggest_improvements' could overlap slightly since both deal with resume content quality, though their outputs differ (analysis vs. recommendations).

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: analyze_resume, suggest_improvements, calculate_ats_score. The pattern is predictable and clear.

Tool Count3/5

Three tools is on the leaner side for a resume analyzer, potentially leaving users wanting more functions like resume parsing or formatting help. However, the count is still within a reasonable range for a focused tool that handles core resume analysis tasks.

Completeness3/5

The core workflow covers analyzing a resume, suggesting improvements, and calculating ATS score. However, there's a notable gap: no tool to update or create a resume, and the tools likely rely on passing full resume text each time, making the workflow feel incomplete.
