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

Tool	What it does	AI?
parse_resume	Parse PDF / DOCX / TXT / MD / URL → raw text + contacts, keywords, section map	No
batch_parse_resumes	Parse up to 20 files in one call, full pipeline on each	No
inspect_pipeline	Run the 5-stage analysis pipeline → confidence scores, entity counts, data quality report	No

Unified Analysis

Tool	What it does	AI?
analyze_resume	Master analysis tool with selectable aspects: keywords (TF-IDF + bigrams), patterns (date ranges, metrics, team sizes, career trajectory), entities (NER with 12 types + context disambiguation), skills (13 categories with proficiency estimation), experience (structured timeline), similarity (cosine, Jaccard, TF-IDF overlap vs. job description), or all	No

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

Tool	What it does	AI?
assess_candidate	Score against up to 8 weighted criteria axes → weighted total + pass / review / reject decision	Optional

Export & Notifications

Tool	What it does	AI?
export_results	Export structured parse results to JSON or CSV	No
send_email	Send results via SMTP (config passed per call — no server-side secrets stored)	No

ATS — Jobs

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_manage_jobs	Full CRUD for job postings: create, read, update, delete, list, search by title/department/status	No

ATS — Candidates & Pipeline

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_manage_candidates	CRUD + analytics: add, update, move stage, bulk-move, filter, rank, compare, recommend stage changes, summarize	No
ats_analytics	Unified dashboard + pipeline analytics: stage distribution, conversion rates, avg time-in-stage, bottleneck detection, offer acceptance rate	No
ats_search	Global full-text search across all ATS entities (candidates, jobs, interviews, offers, notes)	No

ATS — Interviews

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_schedule_interview	Create, update, and delete interviews with conflict detection and interviewer availability check	No
ats_interview_feedback	Submit structured feedback, compute consensus score, summarize feedback across all interviewers	No

ATS — Offers & Notes

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_manage_offers	Full offer lifecycle: draft → pending → approved → sent → accepted / declined / expired	No
ats_manage_notes	Add, update, search, and delete timestamped candidate notes	No

ATS — Enterprise HR

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_compliance	EEO/EEOC reporting, GDPR export/erasure, audit trail, data retention policies	No
ats_talent_pool	Passive candidate talent pools (CRM): create pools, add/remove candidates, search, analytics	No
ats_scorecard	Structured interview scorecards with weighted criteria, per-evaluator scores, aggregate rankings	No
ats_onboarding	Post-hire onboarding checklists: tasks by category, assignees, progress tracking, overdue alerts	No
ats_communication	Email templates with {{variable}} interpolation, send/preview, communication history, stats	No

Testing & Seeding

Tool	What it does	AI?
ats_generate_demo_data	Generate a realistic sample ATS dataset (jobs, candidates, interviews, offers) for testing	No

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
