ModernCV Resume MCP MCP Server

About ModernCV Resume MCP

ModernCV (genedai.cv) is a free, no-sign-up resume builder. Choose from 40 templates (about 16 ATS-friendly), customize accent color and fonts, fit content to one page, and download a vector PDF with selectable text. Import JSON Resume or ModernCV JSON. Optional AI writing help runs on Cloudflare Workers AI. Resumes never leave the browser (localStorage). Agents can build resumes via a remote MCP server (https://genedai.cv/mcp), HTTP API, and an installable skill.
