How I built a resume MCP in 1 hour

How I built a resume MCP in an hour I’ve been wanting to connect Rezi to Claude for a while. Not a chatbot, not a wrapper — an actual MC...

The deep-merge catch on write_resume is the kind of bug that silently destroys user data for weeks before anyone notices. Good eye catching it in code review. The OAuth 2.1 with PKCE plumbing being the hardest part is a pattern I keep hearing from everyone building MCP servers - the actual tool logic is almost trivial once you have clean data services, but the auth dance eats most of the dev time. Makes me wonder if there's room for a shared OAuth middleware library specifically for MCP server authors. The end-to-end workflow of read resume → search jobs → tailor resume is exactly the kind of multi-step agent loop that MCP was designed for. Each tool is simple on its own, but composed together they create something genuinely useful.

yea I completely agree on the OAuth pain — it's wild how the "hard" part of every MCP server ends up being auth plumbing, not the actual tools. A shared PKCE middleware would save everyone a lot of repeated suffering.

This is awesome!! It’s crazy how fast we can build actually usable tools now. I have been experimenting with agentic AI workflows too, and the speed to prototype is wild.
