Details
From the project READMEFormatix AI — MCP Server
The only AI that automates and personalizes any branded talent document — not just CVs.
Turn a CV, a LinkedIn profile, or structured data into assessment reports (Hogan, psychometric, CEO & leadership), progression reports, executive profiles, candidate shortlists, client submittals, proposals and RPO reports — exported as DOCX, PPTX, PDF or Excel, perfectly on-brand.
Connect Formatix to Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, Claude Code — or any MCP-compatible AI agent — and let the AI generate the finished, client-ready document for you.

Why Formatix is different
Every other "CV formatter" stops at one CV → one Word document. Formatix is the only platform that templatizes and automates the documents nobody else does, across every format and use case:
| Document type | Examples | Formats |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment reports | Hogan reports, psychometric reports, CEO assessment, leadership assessment | DOCX · PPTX · PDF |
| Progression reports | Succession & talent-review packs, 9-box, promotion cases | DOCX · PPTX · XLSX |
| Executive profiles | One-page bios, branded candidate profiles, blind/anonymized CVs | DOCX · PPTX · PDF |
| Shortlists & decks | Multi-candidate shortlist decks, longlists, slate presentations | PPTX |
| Client deliverables | Client submittals, proposals, RPO reports, market & comp intelligence | DOCX · PPTX · PDF · XLSX |
Every document is generated from your own branded template — fonts, colours, logos and layout preserved exactly.
Who uses it
- Executive search firms — client-branded profiles, shortlist decks and proposals in minutes.
- In-house exec & leadership recruiting (TA) — board-ready candidate slates and assessment summaries.
- Talent mapping / RPO teams — market maps, comp benchmarking, RPO reporting.
- HR / People teams — succession planning, talent reviews and promotion packs.
Three ways to use Formatix
- Remote MCP — point ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity at the hosted Formatix MCP endpoint.

Quick start
You need a Formatix account
Using Formatix from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any MCP client needs a Formatix account on a paid plan or an active trial. Documents you generate through MCP use your account's credits, the same as on the platform.
- Create an account at https://formatix.ai. New accounts get 10 free trial credits (no card, valid for 14 days), usable from MCP during the trial; after that, choose a paid plan.
- Create an API key in Settings → API keys.
- Set the key as
FORMATIX_API_KEYin the configs below.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
claude_desktop_config.json (or .mcp.json for Claude Code):
{
"mcpServers": {
"formatix": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@formatix-ai/mcp"],
"env": {
"FORMATIX_API_KEY": "fxi_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"formatix": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@formatix-ai/mcp"],
"env": { "FORMATIX_API_KEY": "fxi_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
ChatGPT / Perplexity (remote connector)
Add a custom connector / MCP server pointing at the hosted endpoint:
https://platform.formatix.ai/mcp
Authenticate with your Formatix account (OAuth) or paste your fxi_ API key when prompted.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_document_types | List every document Formatix can generate (assessment reports, profiles, shortlists, proposals…) with available formats. Call this first. |
generate_document | The hero. Any source text → any branded document in DOCX/PPTX/PDF/XLSX. Returns a record_id. |
format_from_linkedin | LinkedIn profile text → polished resume / candidate profile. |
check_status | Poll a record_id; returns the download link when the document is ready. |
Typical agent flow
list_document_types() → choose a template_id + template_type
generate_document(source_text, template_id, → returns record_id
template_type, output_format)
check_status(record_id) → "Formatted" + download_url
→ hand the download_url back to the client
Configuration
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
FORMATIX_API_KEY | (none) | Your fxi_ key from your Formatix account (Settings → API keys). Required: without it, every tool returns setup instructions. |
FORMATIX_API_BASE | https://platform.formatix.ai | Override for testing against another environment. |
How it works
This package is a thin client. All formatting, AI extraction and rendering run on the Formatix platform; this server simply exposes a small, agent-friendly set of tools over the Model Context Protocol. No credentials are stored in this repo — you supply your own key.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
