WerkCV – Dutch CV check

WerkCV – Dutch CV check (MCP server)

A hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server that grades a CV for the Dutch job market, compares it with a vacancy, and opens it in the WerkCV editor.

• Endpoint: https://werkcv.nl/api/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless)
• Authentication: none
• Registry name: nl.werkcv/cv-check (official MCP Registry)
• Docs: https://werkcv.nl/en/ai-assistant (Dutch: https://werkcv.nl/ai-assistent)

This repository documents the hosted server: connection instructions, the tool contract and example answers. The server runs as part of the WerkCV web app; there is nothing to install or self-host.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Notes
check_cv	Grades a CV 0–100 (plus a 1–10 grade) on content, readability for application systems (ATS), contact basics and Dutch conventions. Returns the three fixes to make first, each with the section, the place and an exact quote from the CV, plus stats such as weak bullet openers and clichés.	Free, no AI, nothing stored.
match_vacancy	Compares a CV with one vacancy, requirement by requirement (must / nice, match / partial / missing), with quotes from both texts, missing ATS keywords and the fixes to make first. The score is computed from the requirement list.	Uses AI, rate-limited, nothing stored. Never suggests claiming experience the user does not have.
open_in_editor	Returns a single-use link that opens the CV (and optionally the vacancy) in the WerkCV editor, no account needed.	The text is kept for at most 60 minutes and deleted when the link is first opened.

Every successful answer is returned as structuredContent and as the same JSON in a text block, and follows the published outputSchema of each tool. Each answer includes nextStep, a suggested follow-up. See examples/ for full answers for a fictional CV.

Input for all tools: cv_text (200–25,000 characters), optional locale (nl or en, detected when omitted); match_vacancy and open_in_editor also take vacancy_text (120–18,000 characters). Remove BSN, ID and bank numbers from the CV before sending it.

Limits

Per IP address: check_cv 30 per hour, match_vacancy 8 per hour and 20 per day, open_in_editor 5 per hour. When a limit is reached the tool returns a clear "limit reached" message.

Privacy and cost

• The check and the vacancy comparison store nothing. The vacancy comparison sends the text to OpenAI for the analysis.
• Only open_in_editor keeps the text, for at most 60 minutes, and deletes it when the link is first opened.
• Only counts are recorded (tool, locale, outcome), never the CV or vacancy text.
• The tools are free. In the WerkCV editor, building and previewing a CV is free; downloading the PDF costs €7.95 once, with no subscription.
• Privacy policy: https://werkcv.nl/en/privacy
