AptiBuild AI — Career Intelligence

AptiBuild AI — MCP Server

Structured decision scaffolding for high-stakes career advice. For AI agents.

Personality-conditioned idea generation, official BLS OEWS wage data, real-time FRED labor market signals, and pre-built harnesses tuned to specific life stages — without building and maintaining your own data pipelines. One endpoint, 12 tools, works with any MCP-compatible client.

Why this server, not public APIs

Raw BLS and FRED data are free to access — but packaging them for agent consumption isn't trivial. This server adds three things public APIs don't give you:

What you get	Why it matters
Personality-conditioned generation	Most career APIs treat a job title as homogeneous. A risk-averse introvert nurse and a high-risk extrovert nurse get different outputs here.
Pre-built harnesses	Structured, multi-section intelligence documents built for agents to consume. One tool call gives your agent enough context to advise a human through a major career decision. Reduces hallucination on high-stakes advice.
AptiBuild corpus	500+ app and business ideas sourced from real AptiBuild user profiles — not generic LLM speculation.

Data layers: real-time FRED signals + BLS OEWS 2024 wages + AptiBuild proprietary corpus. US labor market data only.

Common Agent Workflows

These are the patterns agents use most:

Career coach with unstructured input

infer_aptitude_profile → generate_career_paths

User pastes a resume or LinkedIn bio. Agent infers the structured profile, then generates 4 personalized career paths.

Side-hustle recommender

infer_aptitude_profile → generate_app_ideas

Same two-step flow for business idea generation. Personality-conditioned — a risk-averse introvert and a high-risk extrovert in the same profession get different outputs.

Quick profession lookup

get_profession_profile

One call returns AptiBuild ideas + BLS wages for any profession. Best when you already know the job title.

Harness + generation chain

get_career_pivot_harness → generate_career_paths

Load structured context for the 38–55 cohort, then generate a personalized path on top of it. Reduces hallucination on high-stakes mid-career advice.
