What this is

A better way to evaluate a candidate than reading a CV.

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing Matt's professional profile as structured, queryable data. Rather than parsing a CV, an AI assistant like Claude Desktop can call specific tools to answer whatever question you actually have.

Built because a CV is a lossy summary, LinkedIn is a keyword soup, and neither answers the real question a recruiter wants answered: is this person right for this role?

Getting started

Connect it to Claude Desktop in thirty seconds.

Paste the configuration below into your Claude Desktop configuration file and restart the app. Other MCP-compatible clients (Cursor, Continue, custom agents) use the same endpoint URL with their own config format.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "matt-taylor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mattj-taylor.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
