Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

check

check_cv

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.

format

get_cv_format_guide

For a person preparing a CV for a job in a particular African country. Returns how CVs are usually written for employers there: length, photo, personal details, education, referees, file format, how people apply and the main job sites. Covers the 16 countries in the input list only.

jobs

search_jobs

For a person looking for a job in Tanzania. Searches open vacancies on the CV Chap Chap jobs board, newest first, and returns up to 10 with title, employer, location, type, deadline and a link to the full advert. Covers Tanzania only.

save

save_cv_draft

For a person who wants to see or keep the CV they wrote in the conversation. Saves it as a new private draft on CV Chap Chap and returns a private link that opens it in the chosen CV Chap Chap design, where it can be previewed and edited. Each call saves a separate new draft; nothing existing is changed. The link works for 30 days.

templates

find_cv_templates

For a person choosing how their CV should look. Lists CV Chap Chap designs by style (professional, modern, creative, minimal) and with or without a photo, with a name, short description, id and thumbnail for each. Returns up to 12 designs.

CV Chap Chap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CV Chap Chap do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_cv, find_cv_templates, get_cv_format_guide, save_cv_draft, search_jobs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is CV Chap Chap working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 73 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists CV Chap Chap as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect CV Chap Chap?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does CV Chap Chap need an API key?

No. CV Chap Chap completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
