CareerMax Cover Letter Writer

Generate tailored cover letters that connect a candidate's resume to a specific job description.

Setup

1. Sign in to CareerMax.
2. Open Settings → API Keys.
3. Create a new API key and copy it. The key starts with cmx_live_ and is shown only once.
4. Set the environment variable:

export CAREERMAX_API_KEY="cmx_live_..."

How it works

1. The skill connects to CareerMax through the @careermax/agent-toolkit MCP server.
2. For MCP usage, provide resumeText and jobDescription.
3. The agent can retrieve the stored resume first with get_resume, then pass the resume text into generate_cover_letter.
4. The CLI can generate a cover letter from a saved CareerMax job ID.
5. AI-generation operations use preview/confirm — the agent shows a summary and credit cost before execution.
