Connect Your Résumé to Claude With an MCP Connector
Claude is excellent at writing, tailoring and reasoning about your career — but only if it can see your actual résumé. Instead of pasting text into each conversation, you can connect a live résumé to Claude with an MCP connector, so Claude reads your current experience on demand.
This guide explains what that means in plain English and how to set it up in a couple of minutes.

What is an MCP connector (in plain English)?
MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is a standard way for an AI assistant like Claude to securely pull in outside information. A connector is a single link you add in Claude once. After that, Claude can read your live résumé whenever you ask, without you pasting anything.
Think of it as giving Claude a read-only window into your always-current résumé, rather than mailing it a photocopy that goes out of date the moment you change jobs.
Why connect instead of paste?
- Always current: update a role on person.bio and Claude sees the new version instantly.
- No re-pasting: every new chat already has access to your résumé.
- Structured: Claude reads clean fields (roles, dates, skills) instead of a scrambled PDF.
- One source of truth: the same résumé powers your public bio page, your resume.md link and your exports.
How to set it up with person.bio
- Create your free person.bio account and fill in your résumé.
- Open your account's Connect to AI page and copy your Claude connector link.
- In Claude, add it as a custom connector once.
- Ask Claude to "tailor my résumé to this job" and it will read your live résumé automatically.
Great things to ask Claude once connected
- "Tailor my résumé bullets to this job description, keeping everything truthful."
- "Draft a cover letter using my real experience."
- "What gaps in my résumé might a recruiter question, and how do I address them?"
- "Summarise my résumé into a 2-line elevator pitch."
