AI assistants

Connect your AI assistant (MCP)

Use CvasYouAre from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral and other assistants: setup, permissions, tools and limits.

Updated 23/10/2026

CvasYouAre supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard used by Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral and many other assistants. Once connected, you can ask your assistant to read, create, tailor and export your CVs.

What you need

A CvasYouAre account: sign in at least once on the website before connecting the assistant.
The connector address: https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp

No keys or passwords to create. The first time you connect, the CvasYouAre sign-in page opens: log in with your usual account and choose which permissions to grant.

Permissions

On the consent screen you choose what the assistant can do. Each tool needs one permission:

cv:read: read your CVs (list_cvs, get_cv).
templates:read: list the design templates (list_templates).
cv:write: create, duplicate and edit CVs (create_cv, duplicate_cv, update_cv).
cv:export: generate PDFs (export_cv_pdf).

If a permission is missing, the assistant gets the error Missing required scope: disconnect the connector and connect it again, granting that permission.

Rules and limits

The assistant only sees your own CVs, never those of other users.
update_cv changes only the fields it receives, but a list (experience, education, languages, skills, certifications, publications, references) replaces the whole section: the assistant must read the CV with get_cv first and send back the complete list.
The profile photo cannot be changed through the assistant; duplicate_cv copies it.
At most 50 items per section; long texts up to 10,000 characters, short fields up to 500.
CV language: English, Italian, French, Spanish or German.
PDF export: at most 30 PDFs every 10 minutes per user.

Try: "Duplicate my English CV and tailor it to this job posting", "Rewrite my CV summary to make it sharper", "Create a German CV from my Italian one", "Export my CV as PDF with the europass template".

Claude (claude.ai, desktop and mobile apps)

Open Customize → Connectors.
Click + Add and choose Add custom connector.
Name: CvasYouAre, URL: https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp, then Continue.
Review the detected sign-in settings and click Continue again; keep Sign in now and the recommended OAuth identity, then Add.
Sign in to CvasYouAre and approve the permissions.
In a chat, use the + button at the lower left → Connectors to enable CvasYouAre.

Available on the Free plan too (one custom connector). On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds it from Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web; each user then connects it from Customize → Connectors.

ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com in your browser (custom servers can't be added from the desktop and mobile apps) open Settings → Plugins.
Click + and choose Add custom MCP server.
Name: CvasYouAre, URL: https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp, authentication: OAuth.
Accept the warning: the CvasYouAre sign-in opens, log in and approve.
In a new chat, enable the CvasYouAre plugin from the + menu.

If you don't see the option, older versions require turning on Developer mode first (under Security or advanced settings); in Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin may need to allow it.

Google Gemini

Gemini app (web and mobile): connectors are under Customize → Connectors → Connected apps. Adding a custom MCP server is currently available only to some accounts and countries: if you don't see an option to add a custom app, use one of the alternatives below.
Gemini Enterprise: an admin adds a Custom MCP connector with the URL above and OAuth.

Antigravity CLI (successor of Gemini CLI for personal accounts): add the server to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json. Sign-in starts automatically on first use; if needed, start it from Agent settings → Customizations → Authenticate.

{ "mcpServers": { "cvasyouare": { "serverUrl": "https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp" } } }

Gemini CLI (paid API key or enterprise license): add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json, then run /mcp auth cvasyouare.

{ "mcpServers": { "cvasyouare": { "httpUrl": "https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp" } } }

Mistral Le Chat

Open the Connectors page and click + Add Connector.
Switch to the Custom MCP Connector tab, enter a name and https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp.
Le Chat detects OAuth automatically: sign in with your CvasYouAre account.
In the connector's Functions tab you can always allow the read functions and keep manual approval for those that change your CVs.

Microsoft Copilot

GitHub Copilot in VS Code: see the VS Code steps below; the connector is available in agent mode.
Copilot Studio (organizations): agent makers can add CvasYouAre as an MCP tool with the URL above and OAuth sign-in.
Copilot app (web, Windows, mobile) and Microsoft 365 Copilot: they currently don't let users add custom MCP servers.

Developer tools

Claude Code: run this command, then /mcp to sign in from the browser.

claude mcp add --transport http cvasyouare https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp

VS Code: run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and enter the URL.

Cursor: add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "cvasyouare": { "url": "https://www.cvasyouare.com/mcp" } } }

Troubleshooting

No CvasYouAre account found for this user: sign in once at www.cvasyouare.com with the same account, then try again.
Missing required scope: reconnect the connector and grant the permission listed above.
CV not found: the id must come from list_cvs; ask the assistant to list your CVs first.
Too many PDF exports: wait a few minutes (limit of 30 every 10 minutes).

Privacy and control

CV content read by the assistant is sent to the AI provider you chose (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral…) under its terms.
To revoke access, disconnect the connector in your assistant's settings.

Menu names may change as each app is updated. If something doesn't match, let us know.
