Shortlisted

Integrations

Use Shortlisted from Claude or ChatGPT.

Shortlisted runs as a tool inside the AI you already use. Tailor your resume, generate cover letters, and score job fit without leaving your chat.

Option 1 — Claude Desktop (MCP)

Adds Shortlisted as a native tool in Claude Desktop. Claude can search jobs, score your resume, and produce tailored PDFs directly in conversation.

  1. Sign in at shortlisted.site and copy the jobsearch_session cookie value (DevTools → Application → Cookies).
  2. Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shortlisted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shortlisted-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "SHORTLISTED_SESSION": "<paste_cookie_value>" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Then ask:

Use the shortlisted MCP tools to tailor my resume to this job: <PASTE JOB URL>.
First call match_resume_to_job to score the fit, then generate_resume with rewrite=true, then generate_cover_letter. Return the cover letter inline and tell me where the PDF is saved.

Option 2 — Claude Code (CLI)

Add Shortlisted to Claude Code in one command:

claude mcp add shortlisted -- npx -y shortlisted-mcp-server

Then export SHORTLISTED_SESSION=<cookie> in the shell where Claude Code runs.

Option 3 — ChatGPT (Custom GPT or Actions)

Point a Custom GPT at our OpenAPI spec to give ChatGPT direct API access:

  1. In ChatGPT, create a Custom GPT and open Configure → Actions.
  2. Import schema from URL: https://shortlisted.site/openapi.json
  3. Set authentication to API Key with custom header Authorization: Bearer <session>.

Or paste this prompt into a regular ChatGPT conversation with Browse enabled:

You are helping me apply to a job. Use the Shortlisted API at https://jobagent-ten.vercel.app (OpenAPI: https://shortlisted.site/openapi.json) to:
1. Score my resume against this job: <PASTE JOB URL>
2. Generate an ATS-tailored resume (POST /api/profile/generate-resume with rewrite=true)
3. Generate a cover letter (POST /api/profile/generate-cover-letter)
My session token: <PASTE jobsearch_session COOKIE>
