ResuStack

ResuStack is an AI resume builder. Import a PDF or your LinkedIn profile, pick one of 14 designs, and edit by form or by chat — in the browser, or straight from Claude through its MCP server. Every change is reversible, and the PDF you download is rendered from the same template as the live preview.

✨ Features

Resume builder

• PDF & LinkedIn import — upload an existing resume or a LinkedIn PDF; AI extracts and structures it
• Split-pane editor — the form on the left, a live preview on the right, with page breaks where the PDF will break
• 14 designs on 6 layouts — single column, banner, label gutter, header grid, left sidebar and right rail; ATS-safe designs are marked, and switching keeps your content
• English and Turkish resumes — headings, "Present", month names and degree phrasing print in the language the resume is written in
• "What I'm working on" — an optional section above Education, shown only when you tick it
• PDF export — rendered with WeasyPrint from the same template the preview uses

AI

• One-click enhance — rewrites experience and project descriptions into stronger bullet points
• Analyze and compare — score a resume and see where it is weak, or compare two versions
• Guided build — build a resume step by step through questions

Agentic mode

• Edit by chatting — "Make my last role sound more senior"; the agent uses tools, streams its progress and asks for approval before destructive actions
• Template pane — pick a design for the active resume without leaving the chat
• Undo — revert the last change from the conversation

Change history

• A restore point before every save and every AI or MCP edit
• Diff any version against the current one, and restore it — on every plan

Job applications

• Match a resume against a job posting and tailor a version for it
• Track applications, each with a snapshot of the exact resume you sent; clone a snapshot back into an editable resume

Language versions

• Translate a resume in place, or create a translated copy linked to the original

🤖 Use ResuStack from Claude (MCP)

ResuStack is a Model Context Protocol server. Claude — or any MCP client with Streamable HTTP and custom headers — writes the resume; ResuStack stores it, versions it and renders it.

1. Create a token. Sign in, open Profile → API token, and create one. It is shown once; replacing it revokes the old one. The Profile page also shows the endpoint address to use.

2. Add the server. With Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http resustack https://resustackapp.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Authentication is a bearer token only; session cookies are not accepted on this endpoint.

3. Ask. "List my resumes", "Switch my CV to the Label Gutter design and give me the PDF", "Fill What I'm working on from what we did this month."

Tools

Tool	What it does
list_resumes	Resumes on the account: id, title, language, template
get_resume	The full stored content of one resume
create_resume	Create a resume from structured content
update_resume	Replace a resume's content (read it first — this is a replace, not a merge)
set_focus_areas	Set only the "What I'm working on" section; the rest of the resume is untouched
list_templates	The designs, with a description and whether each is ATS-safe
set_template	Change a resume's design
render_pdf	A download link for the PDF — single use, expires in 10 minutes
check_quota	What the account has left this month

Prompts

Prompt	What it does
focus_areas_from_my_work	Has the client's model summarise the work you have actually done — from the conversations it can see — into a few lines, show them to you, and save them with set_focus_areas only after you approve

Safety rules

• Every write takes a restore point first; you can undo it on the website
• There is no delete tool — removing a resume stays on the website, where a person clicks
• Every query is scoped to the token's owner
• Rate limited per account

Listing in the MCP Registry

server.json at the repository root describes the server for the official MCP Registry as com.resustackapp/resustack. Publishing under that name requires proving ownership of resustackapp.com with a file served at /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth:

1. Generate a key pair locally. Never commit key.pem (it is in .gitignore):

   openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out key.pem
   

2. Print the proof record and set it as the MCP_REGISTRY_AUTH environment variable in Dokploy, then redeploy:

   echo "v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=$(openssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -outform DER | tail -c 32 | base64)"
   

3. Check it is live:

   curl https://resustackapp.com/.well-known/mcp-registry-auth
   

4. Log in and publish from the repository root:

   mcp-publisher login http --domain resustackapp.com --private-key "$(openssl pkey -in key.pem -noout -text | grep -A3 'priv:' | tail -n +2 | tr -d ' :\n')"
   

   mcp-publisher publish
   

Bump version in server.json (and SERVER_INFO in mcp_server/protocol.py) for each new listing.

🚀 Running locally

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• An OpenAI API key

1. Clone and configure

git clone https://github.com/koksalkapucuoglu/resume-enhance.git

cd resume-enhance && cp .env.example .env

Variable	Description	Example
OPENAI_API_KEY	OpenAI API key	sk-proj-...
SECRET_KEY	Django secret key	any long random string
DEBUG	Debug mode	True
ALLOWED_HOSTS	Allowed hosts	localhost,127.0.0.1
POSTGRES_DB / POSTGRES_USER / POSTGRES_PASSWORD	Database credentials	postgres
POSTGRES_HOST / POSTGRES_PORT	Database address	db / 5432
EMAIL_HOST_USER / EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD	SMTP for password reset (optional)
DOWNLOAD_LINK_MAX_AGE	Seconds a signed PDF link stays valid (optional)	600
MCP_REGISTRY_AUTH	MCP Registry domain proof served at /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth (optional, public key only)	v=MCPv1; k=ed25519; p=...
PAYMENT_STATUS	coming_soon shows plans without taking payment; live enables checkout	coming_soon
PAYMENT_PROVIDER, PAYMENT_WEBHOOK_SECRET, CHECKOUT_URL_*, PRODUCT_ID_*	Payment provider settings (optional)

2. Start

docker compose up --build

The app runs at http://localhost:8000.

3. Run the tests

docker compose exec web python manage.py test resume mcp_server

WeasyPrint and OpenAI are mocked in the unit tests; no API calls are made.

☁️ Deployment

Production runs on Dokploy. Every push to main triggers a deploy through a GitHub webhook: Dokploy builds the Dockerfile, and entrypoint.sh runs migrate and collectstatic before starting Gunicorn. Traefik handles HTTPS.

Setting it up on a new server:

1. Install Dokploy: curl -sSL https://dokploy.com/install.sh | sh
2. Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:3000 and create an admin account
3. Create a project → add an Application → connect this GitHub repository
4. Add a PostgreSQL service in the same project
5. Set the environment variables (see .env.prod.example) and the domain, then deploy

Notes:

• Leave Dokploy's Run Command empty — the Dockerfile's ENTRYPOINT does everything
• Behind Cloudflare's proxy, set Dokploy's domain encryption to None and Cloudflare SSL to Full
• The image installs the fonts the resume designs use; nothing is fetched at render time

docker-compose.prod.yml and the Caddyfile are kept for self-hosting without Dokploy; they are not what production uses.

🔒 Privacy

What ResuStack collects, who processes it (including OpenAI for AI features) and how to delete it: resustackapp.com/privacy. The Turkish version, written as the KVKK information notice, is at resustackapp.com/gizlilik. Users can delete their account and all its data from the Profile page.

🏗️ Architecture

Monolithic Django: views, DRF API, an MCP endpoint, WeasyPrint for PDFs, OpenAI for parsing and writing. Resume content is a single JSONField; every design comes from one catalogue in resume/resume_templates.py. The full guide — conventions, patterns and pitfalls — is in .claude/CLAUDE.md.

---

🗺️ Roadmap

• Multiple resume designs (14)
• Job description matching and application tracking
• Agentic mode with tool calling, approvals and undo
• Change history with diff and restore
• MCP server for Claude and other clients
• English and Turkish resumes
• Listing in MCP registries
• OAuth for MCP clients, alongside tokens
• Payments going live
