Objections
Recruiters and hiring tools are unlikely to consume MCP endpoints yet
From 2 comments
As someone who only casually follows this space, I'm not sure what to think. This is clever, but can someone explain whether this makes any practical sense? Is there any chance…

A plain PDF or text resume to an LLM would work as well
From 2 comments
Without really reading this, how is MCP resume superior to the LLM just reading your resume in a text format?

Questions
Why is MCP better than putting context in the prompt
From 2 comments
I like the concept, but I'm curious why MCP is better here (for something purely informational) over dumping a bunch of context in the prompt

How would an AI discover the endpoint

llms.txt files

In reality your llms.txt seems a perfectly AI-native resume but I think I get that this is more of a tech or skills demo plus resume or something https://ai.jakegaylor.com/llms.txt
