Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

CV Chap Chap helps job seekers, especially in Africa, write CVs. Ask the person for their real details and never invent jobs, dates, numbers or skills. Use get_cv_format_guide for country conventions, check_cv before finishing, find_cv_templates to suggest designs, and save_cv_draft only when the person wants to see or keep the CV.

check_cv — Check a CV
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

For a person who wants feedback on their CV. Checks it against the same rules the CV Chap Chap builder uses: complete contact details, a summary, at least two duties and dates for every job, education, at least five skills and nothing left in [brackets]. Returns each check with a fix. Reads only the CV it is given and stores nothing.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http cv-chap-chap-mcp https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add cv-chap-chap-mcp --url https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable cv-chap-chap-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cv-chap-chap-mcp": {
      "url": "https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cv-chap-chap-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start cv-chap-chap-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "cv-chap-chap-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http cv-chap-chap-mcp https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cv-chap-chap-mcp": {
      "url": "https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cv-chap-chap-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://www.cvchapchap.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
