Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Tailor resumes, generate cover letters, render CVs as PDF, and browse 22+ templates.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work
  • You need to fill in: LADDRO_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: LADDRO_API_KEY, Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "career": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@laddro/career-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LADDRO_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http career https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {LADDRO_API_KEY}'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add career --env LADDRO_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @laddro/career-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "career": {
      "url": "https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {LADDRO_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "career": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@laddro/career-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LADDRO_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "career": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {LADDRO_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "career": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@laddro/career-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LADDRO_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • LADDRO_API_KEY secret required env
    Your Laddro Career API key from console.laddro.com
  • Authorization HTTP header
    Bearer token using your Laddro Career API key from console.laddro.com

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Laddro Career safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LADDRO_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

@laddro/career-mcp

MCP server for the Laddro Career API. Gives AI agents access to resume tailoring, cover letter generation, PDF export, and template browsing.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "laddro-career": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@laddro/career-mcp"], "env": { "LADDRO_API_KEY": "laddro_live_..." } } } }

Claude Code
claude mcp add laddro-career -- npx @laddro/career-mcp

Set the environment variable LADDRO_API_KEY before running.

Remote HTTP

Use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp

Send your Laddro API key on the MCP initialize request:

Authorization: Bearer laddro_live_...

or:

x-api-key: laddro_live_...

Connector (OAuth) mode

Behind the MCP_CONNECTOR_ENABLED flag (default off). When enabled and a request carries Authorization: Bearer lad_at_* (a Laddro OAuth access token), the server runs an OAuth connector session that forwards the token to laddro-backend (service.laddro.com) instead of career-api. It also serves GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728) and answers unauthenticated /mcp calls with 401 + WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata=... so OAuth clients can discover the authorization server. With the flag off, behaviour is unchanged (no discovery route, no 401 enforcement, all 18 tools via career-api).

Connector tools (OAuth sessions only): "You write the content. Laddro stores it and renders the PDF."

ToolScopeDescription
laddro.resume.schema—JSON Schema for resume content
laddro.resume.createresumes:writeCreate a resume, returns { resumeId }

Development

npm ci

npm test

npm test builds the TypeScript package and runs MCP contract tests for auth handling, tool metadata, and handler routing.

Releases

This package uses Changesets and SemVer.

  • Patch: bug fixes, docs, tests, internal hardening.
  • Minor: new backwards-compatible MCP tools or capabilities.
  • Major: breaking tool names, schemas, auth, or transport behavior.

Every PR that changes the published package should include a changeset:

npm run changeset

After the PR merges to main, GitHub Actions opens a release PR with the version bump and changelog. Merging that release PR publishes the package to npm and creates the GitHub release. The Cloud Run deploy workflow also runs on main, so hosted MCP updates automatically after release merges.

MCP registry

This server is listed in the official MCP registry as com.laddro/career. server.json is the registry manifest; scripts/sync-version-metadata.mjs keeps its version in sync with the npm package on every release.

Publishing is automated: .github/workflows/publish-registry.yml runs whenever a release changes server.json on main and pushes the new version to the registry. Auth is DNS-based — the Ed25519 public key lives in the laddro.com TXT record, and the matching private key (hex) is stored as the MCP_PUBLISHER_ED25519_KEY repo secret.

To publish (or catch up) manually:

MCP_PUBLISHER_ED25519_KEY=<hex-private-key> ./scripts/publish-registry.sh
