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.
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
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.
