Connect Resumly to Cursor

Add the Resumly MCP server to Cursor via mcp.json.

Setup

  1. Create your API key: app.resumly.ai → Settings → API → New Key (first key includes a $5 trial credit; the key is shown once).
  2. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or edit the config file directly:
    • Global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Per-project: .cursor/mcp.json in the project root
  3. Add the server entry:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resumly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.resumly.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rly_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Reload Cursor. The Resumly server and its 21 tools appear in Settings → MCP; the agent can now use them in chat.

Keep your key out of version control

If you use a per-project .cursor/mcp.json, don't commit a file containing your rly_ key. Prefer the global config for personal keys.

Try it

Ask the agent: "Check my Resumly job searches and list new matches above 80%." Priced actions (tailor $0.25, apply $0.50) state their cost, and applying always requires an explicit confirm step. See the rate card and Troubleshooting.
