4. Validate output - Ensure all generated JSON conforms to the schema

Workflow

MCP Application Tracking

Reactive Resume MCP can manage job applications as well as resumes. When the user wants to track applications through an agent, use the application tools instead of asking them to open the web UI.

• Use list_applications before changing existing records.
• Use create_application for one new opportunity or import_applications for spreadsheet/CSV rows.
• Use update_application to move stages, archive/unarchive, edit contacts, set follow-ups, link a resume, or update job details.
• Use add_application_note to log timeline activity.
• Use attach_application_document and remove_application_document for sent resume or cover-letter PDFs.
• Use score_application_match, tailor_resume_for_application, and draft_application_message for Application Copilot workflows after a linked resume and job description exist.
• Review AI-generated cover letters and follow-ups before sending them.

Step 1: Gather Basic Information

Ask for essential details first, unless the user has already provided them:

• Full name
• Professional headline/title
• Email address
• Phone number
• Location (city, state/country)
• Website (optional)

Step 2: Collect Section Content

For each section the user wants to include, gather specific details. Never invent dates, company names, or achievements.

Experience: company, position, location, period (e.g., "Jan 2020 - Present"), description of responsibilities/achievements

Education: school, degree, area of study, grade (optional), location, period
