HitApply for Claude

Find jobs, see whether they're worth it, and apply, all from Claude, using your HitApply account. HitApply holds your profile, résumés and applications; Claude does the searching, judging and form-filling.

About this repo: HitApply is a hosted job-search app that finds jobs and writes a tailored résumé and cover letter for each one. You can use it on the web, with its browser extension, or from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Meta Muse. This repo is only the plugin that connects Claude Code, Cowork and Codex to your HitApply account: the connection settings plus a few skills. The HitApply service itself isn't here. Full guide: Claude Code and Codex in the HitApply Help Center.

What you need

• A HitApply account. No profile yet? The onboard step builds one from your résumé.
• Claude Code (Cowork works the same way) or Codex.
• To apply: a dedicated Chrome/Edge profile with the HitApply extension and the Playwright MCP Bridge extension. Setup: AUTO_APPLY_SETUP.md.

Install

/plugin marketplace add lecegues/hitapply-plugin

/plugin install hitapply@hitapply

1. If the skills don't show up, run `/reload-plugins`.

1. Run /mcp, pick hitapply, sign in to HitApply and approve. Allow both read and write: write lets Claude save your profile, queue a job (which generates its résumé and cover letter), apply the edits you approve, and mark it applied.

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add lecegues/hitapply-plugin

codex plugin add hitapply@hitapply codex mcp login hitapply --scopes hitapply:read,hitapply:write,hitapply:answers

Use

Talk normally, or use the commands. A typical run:

Also handy: "What have I applied to?"

What it will never do

• Submit an application without your "yes" in chat.
• Type card numbers, government IDs or your passwords. It creates or signs in to job-site accounts only if you set up the optional job-site secrets file, and it never sees that password.
• Follow instructions written inside a job posting.

Troubleshooting

• `forbidden`: the connection is read-only. Run /mcp, reconnect hitapply and allow write.
• "You don't have a saved profile yet": say "set up my profile" and attach your résumé, or create one on HitApply's Profile page.
• HitApply tools missing or disconnected: run /mcp and reconnect. Access lasts 30 days.

Add a custom connector with the endpoint from HitApply → Settings → Connections (leave the OAuth fields blank), and upload the folders under skills/ as skills. Applying also needs Playwright MCP (see the setup guide).
