This is a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.ai) server that enhances AI assistants with the ability to update your [JSON Resume](https://jsonresume.org) by analyzing your coding projects. The MCP server provides tools that allow AI assistants like those in [Windsurf](https://www.windsurf.io/) or [Cursor](https://cursor.sh/) to: 1. Check if you have an existing JSON Resume 2. Analyze your codebase to understand your technical skills and projects 3. Enhance your resume with details about your current project With this tool, you can simply ask your AI assistant to "enhance my resume with my current project," and it will automatically analyze your code, extract relevant skills and project details, and update your resume accordingly.

Find your existing resume on GitHub (or create a new one if needed) 2. Analyze your current project's codebase 3. Generate professional descriptions of your project and skills 4. Update your resume with the new information 5. Save the changes back to GitHub 6. Provide a link to view your updated resume ### Check Your Resume Status Ask your AI assistant: ``` "Can you check if I have a JSON Resume?" ``` The assistant will check if you have an existing resume and show its details. ### Analyze Your Codebase Ask your AI assistant: ``` "What technologies am I using in this project?" ``` The assistant will analyze your codebase and provide insights about languages, technologies, and recent commits. ## Configuration The MCP server requires the following environment variables: | Variable | Description | |----------|-------------| | `GITHUB_TOKEN` | Your GitHub personal access token with gist permissions | | `GITHUB_USERNAME` | Your GitHub username | | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Your OpenAI API key | ## Development To run the server in development mode: 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/jsonresume/mcp.git cd mcp ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` 3. Run in development mode: ```bash npm run dev ``` This starts the MCP server with the inspector tool for debugging. ## Contributing Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can contribute: 1. Fork the repository 2. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature` 3. Commit your changes: `git commit -m 'Add some amazing feature'` 4. Push to the branch: `git push origin feature/amazing-feature` 5. Open a Pull Request Please ensure your code follows the existing style and includes appropriate tests. ## Testing The MCP server includes several test scripts to help debug and verify functionality. ### Running Tests All test scripts are located in the `tests/` directory. Before running tests, set your environment variables: ```bash export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key export GITHUB_USERNAME=your_github_username ``` #### Check OpenAI API Key Validates that your OpenAI API key is working correctly: ```bash npx tsx tests/check-openai.ts ``` #### Mock Resume Enhancement Tests the resume enhancement functionality using mock data (no API calls): ```bash npx tsx tests/debug-mock.ts ``` #### Full Resume Enhancement Test Tests the complete resume enhancement process with live API calls: ```bash npx tsx tests/debug-enhance.ts ``` #### MCP Protocol Test Tests the MCP server protocol communication: ```bash node tests/test-mcp.js ``` ### Adding to package.json For convenience, you can add these test commands to your package.json: ```json "scripts": { "test:openai": "tsx tests/check-openai.ts", "test:mock": "tsx tests/debug-mock.ts", "test:enhance": "tsx tests/debug-enhance.ts", "test:mcp": "node tests/test-mcp.js" } ``` Then run them with `npm run test:mock`, etc. ## License This project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details. ## Acknowledgments - [JSON Resume](https://jsonresume.org) for the resume standard - [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.ai) for enabling AI tool integration - [OpenAI](https://openai.com) for powering the AI resume enhancements
