AI HR Management Toolkit MCP Server

AI HR Management Toolkit

AI-powered resume parser & full Applicant Tracking System with 21 MCP tools. Parse PDFs, extract skills, detect patterns, score candidates, and manage a complete hiring pipeline — all from your AI assistant, no manual work required.

What Is This?

You have 50 resumes to screen. Your AI assistant can reason about candidates — but it cannot open PDFs, extract structured data, or track pipeline stages. This toolkit bridges that gap.

Give your AI assistant 21 tools covering the entire hiring workflow:

• Parse PDFs, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, and URLs into structured JSON
• Extract skills, experience, keywords, and entities algorithmically
• Score and rank candidates against job descriptions
• Run a full ATS: jobs, candidates, interviews, offers, notes, and analytics

20 of 21 tools are 100% algorithmic — no LLM calls, no API keys required. The AI calls tools, interprets the results, and delivers analysis. You just ask questions.

Quick Start (MCP Clients)

No installation needed. Point your MCP client at the package:

Claude Desktop — Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-hr-management-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit"]
    }
  }
}

Example usage:

Cursor — Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-hr-management-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code Copilot — Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-hr-management-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code users: Run the npx command from a directory that contains a package.json (i.e. any project root). The cwd key in .vscode/mcp.json can override the working directory if needed.

Windsurf / other MCP clients — Use the same npx pattern above.

Installation Options

Option 1: NPX (Zero-install, recommended)

Works from any project directory (requires a package.json in the working directory):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-hr-management-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Global install

Install once, use from any directory:

npm install -g mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-hr-management-toolkit": {
      "command": "mcp-ai-hr-management-toolkit",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Remote HTTP endpoint

Deploy the Next.js app and use the Streamable HTTP transport:

https://your-domain.com/api/mcp

Test locally:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector http://localhost:3000/api/mcp

Option 4: Local development (Web UI + MCP)

git clone <repo-url>
cd Resume-parser
npm install
npm run dev

Web UI at http://localhost:3000. MCP endpoint at http://localhost:3000/api/mcp. No .env needed — configure API keys in the UI or pass them per tool call.

All 21 MCP Tools

All tools return structured JSON with next_steps hints so the AI knows what to call next.

Resume Parsing & Ingestion

Unified Analysis

analyze_resume consolidates what were previously 7 separate tools (extract_keywords, detect_patterns, classify_entities, extract_skills_structured, extract_experience_structured, compute_similarity, analyze_resume_comprehensive) into a single entry point with aspect selection.

Candidate Matching & Scoring

Export & Notifications

ATS — Jobs

ATS — Candidates & Pipeline

ATS — Interviews

ATS — Offers & Notes

ATS — Enterprise HR

Testing & Seeding

assess_candidate optionally calls an LLM when you supply provider + apiKey; it falls back to fully algorithmic scoring otherwise.

Example Multi-Turn Flow

You: "Parse this resume and tell me if they're a good fit for our Senior Engineer role"

AI → parse_resume(file)
     → raw text, contact info, section map

AI → inspect_pipeline(rawText)
     → 5-stage confidence scores, entity classification

AI → analyze_resume(text, aspects=["skills", "patterns", "similarity"], jobDescription=...)
     → 13 skill categories with proficiency levels
     → career trajectory, metrics, date ranges
     → cosine 0.74, skill match 82%, gap analysis

AI synthesizes → "Strong match. 6 of 8 required skills present.
                  Two gaps: Kubernetes and system design at scale.
                  Recommend: Technical Screen"

Analysis Pipeline

Every resume runs through a 5-stage algorithmic pipeline:

┌─────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌────────────────┐    ┌───────────────┐
│  Ingestion  │───▶│ Sanitization │───▶│ Tokenization │───▶│ Classification │───▶│ Serialization │
│ (file/URL)  │    │ (noise trim) │    │  (TF-IDF)    │    │ (NER + disamb) │    │ (structured)  │
└─────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └────────────────┘    └───────────────┘

1. Ingestion — PDF via pdf-parse v2, DOCX via mammoth, HTML/URL via cheerio, plain text/markdown natively
2. Sanitization — Removes non-ASCII artifacts, normalizes whitespace, strips formatting noise
3. Tokenization — TF-IDF with unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams; scored by document frequency
4. Classification — NER with domain-aware disambiguation (e.g. "Java" as language vs. Indonesian city; "Go" as language vs. verb)
5. Serialization — Maps entities to typed ResumeSchema with confidence scores and data quality metrics

  -H "x-api-key: sk-..." \
  -F "file=@resume.pdf"

# Batch parse (up to 20 files)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/batch-parse \
  -H "x-api-key: sk-..." \
  -F "files=@resume1.pdf" \
