Show HN: My AI Native Resume

In reality your llms.txt seems a perfectly AI-native resume but I think I get that this is more of a tech or skills demo plus resume or something

That was a great read
It would be nice if the idea took off
Is there an already built AI tool that can take a regular resume and help someone easily generate and host their own version?

Every new format or protocol gets used to display someone’s resume at least once (http://www.rleonardi.com/interactive-resume/).
Congrats on getting there for MCP resume before anyone else :)

Very cool idea, and prescient. How long before there are agents scouring for candidates using exactly these kind of MCP servers? This very post will probably give someone the idea for such a scanning/recruiting service.

And how exactly is that going to help improve the hiring situation? It's already very inhumane and getting worse.
Are applicants just supposed to sit and roll their thumbs waiting for the right AI to have the right hallucinations?
I don't get the excitement for applying this crap to each and every aspect of our lives. What about the human experience?

The really bright people are doing hype and bleeding edge things like this. Getting lots of notice, trending on HN (and probably LinkedIn), etc.
Everyone else? Yeah.
I don't mean this as a diss. This is just the meta. I got a really good job doing exactly this sort of thing. And it worked marvels for fundraising too.
I absolutely know not everyone has time or patience for this bullshit meta game. But networking and distribution are kind of like that.
tl;dr - If you trend on HN, LinkedIn, etc., you're already winning the hiring game.
I've been deeply involved in working with AI agents and large language models (LLMs) for a while now. During a recent job search, I found myself repeatedly explaining my skills and experiences to various assistants. Around the same time, I was creating content for my website to help hiring teams understand my capabilities better and make informed decisions.
MCP had started to gain momentum and I saw a way to reduce my toil. So I built an MCP server that can effectively communicate my qualifications as a job candidate. This server acts as an AI-powered resume, providing an understanding of my professional background and a set of tools, prompts and resources to help explore my skills and experiences.
The code is open source, so you can create your own AI-driven resume server. Check it out here: https://github.com/jhgaylor/node-candidate-mcp-server.
During my job search I paired my mcp server with others such as notion, hirebase, and gmail to build a leads database, write cover letters, and track my job search.
