Connect Resumly to VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

VS Code supports MCP servers in GitHub Copilot's agent mode (VS Code 1.99+).

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. Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette (choose HTTP), or create the config file yourself:
    • Per-workspace: .vscode/mcp.json
    • Or add it to your user configuration via MCP: Open User Configuration
  3. Use this configuration:
{
  "servers": {
    "resumly": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.resumly.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rly_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Start the server when prompted (or via MCP: List Servers), open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, and confirm the Resumly tools appear in the tools picker.

Keep your key out of version control

Don't commit a workspace .vscode/mcp.json containing your rly_ key. Use the user-level configuration for personal keys, or VS Code's input placeholders for secrets.

Try it

Ask the agent: "Refresh my Resumly job searches and show the best new matches." Priced actions state their cost up front, and applying is two-step (quote → your confirmation). See the rate card and Troubleshooting.
