resume-onepage-autofit-mcp

An MCP server that lets AI agents deliver formatted, single-page PDF resumes — not just text answers.

🌐 中文 | English

🤖 Tired of copying between AI and Word, tweaking formats, and adjusting to fit one page? What if AI could handle that feedback loop for you? This MCP lets AI render PDFs and auto-adjust content to perfectly fit one page with clean formatting.

🎯 How It Works

User: Please generate a single-page resume from my experience

AI Agent:
1. 📝 Generate initial Markdown
2. 🔍 Call render_resume_pdf to validate
3. ⚠️ Detected 12% overflow
4. 🔧 Apply Level 2 reduction strategy
5. ✅ Success! PDF generated

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install MCP Server

# Enter MCP Server directory and install dependencies
cd mcp_server
pip install -r requirements.txt
# ⚡ Or using uv (recommended): uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install Chromium browser (first time only, ~150MB)
playwright install chromium

2. Configure Claude Desktop

Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resume-onepage-autofit-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["<your-path>/myresumebuilder/mcp_server/mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Replace <your-path> with your actual project path.

⚡ If you prefer using uv:

"resume-onepage-autofit-mcp": {
  "command": "uv",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "--directory",
    "<your-path>/myresumebuilder",
    "mcp_server/mcp_server.py"
  ]
}

3. Prepare Your Resume Content

Write your resume content in myexperience.md (refer to example_resume.md for format).

4. Start Using

Restart Claude Desktop, then simply tell the AI: "Please generate a single-page resume from my experience"

Generated PDFs are saved to the generated_resume/ folder in the project directory by default.

💡 Custom Output Path:

• Copy js/config.example.js to js/config.js and modify the pdfOutput settings at the top
• Or specify output_path parameter when calling to save to any location

🎨 Reduction Strategy Overview

Level	Overflow Range	Strategy	Information Loss
Level 1	< 5%	Merge orphan lines, single-line lists	Low
Level 2	5-15%	Remove soft skills, simplify descriptions	Medium
Level 3	> 15%	Delete irrelevant experiences	High

See AI_AGENT_PROMPT.md for detailed strategies.

🔧 Visual Preview (Optional)

To manually adjust default style parameters, use the control panel (pure frontend, no Python needed):

# Use VS Code Live Server extension (recommended)
# Right-click control_panel.html -> "Open with Live Server"

# Or Python simple server
python -m http.server 8080
# Visit http://localhost:8080/control_panel.html

💡 The control panel is primarily for manually debugging style limits (e.g., font size ranges, line spacing). For daily use, rely on the AI Agent, which automatically adapts layout within optimal ranges based on content. For technical details, see DEVELOPMENT.md.

📚 Documentation

• AI_AGENT_PROMPT.md: AI Agent core reduction strategies (must read)
• DEVELOPMENT.md: Technical architecture & development guide
• mcp_server/README.md: MCP Server API documentation

🐛 Known Limitations

1. Browser Dependency: Requires Chromium (~150MB first time)
2. Content Length: Very long resumes (10+ pages) may need multiple reduction rounds
3. Special Characters: Some emoji may affect layout
