Formatix AI — MCP Server
The only AI that automates and personalizes any branded talent document — not just CVs.
Turn a CV, a LinkedIn profile, or structured data into assessment reports (Hogan, psychometric, CEO & leadership), progression reports, executive profiles, candidate shortlists, client submittals, proposals and RPO reports — exported as DOCX, PPTX, PDF or Excel, perfectly on-brand.
Connect Formatix to Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, Claude Code — or any MCP-compatible AI agent — and let the AI generate the finished, client-ready document for you.

Why Formatix is different
Every other "CV formatter" stops at one CV → one Word document. Formatix is the only platform that templatizes and automates the documents nobody else does, across every format and use case:
| Document type | Examples | Formats |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment reports | Hogan reports, psychometric reports, CEO assessment, leadership assessment | DOCX · PPTX · PDF |
| Progression reports | Succession & talent-review packs, 9-box, promotion cases | DOCX · PPTX · XLSX |
| Executive profiles | One-page bios, branded candidate profiles, blind/anonymized CVs | DOCX · PPTX · PDF |
| Shortlists & decks | Multi-candidate shortlist decks, longlists, slate presentations | PPTX |
| Client deliverables | Client submittals, proposals, RPO reports, market & comp intelligence | DOCX · PPTX · PDF · XLSX |
Every document is generated from your own branded template — fonts, colours, logos and layout preserved exactly.
Who uses it
- Executive search firms — client-branded profiles, shortlist decks and proposals in minutes.
- In-house exec & leadership recruiting (TA) — board-ready candidate slates and assessment summaries.
- Talent mapping / RPO teams — market maps, comp benchmarking, RPO reporting.
- HR / People teams — succession planning, talent reviews and promotion packs.
Three ways to use Formatix
- Remote MCP — point ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity at the hosted Formatix MCP endpoint.
npx(this package) — run locally inside Claude Desktop, Cursor or Claude Code.- Chrome extension — capture any LinkedIn profile and turn it into a polished resume in one click. → https://formatix.ai
Quick start
You need a Formatix account
Using Formatix from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any MCP client needs a Formatix account on a paid plan or an active trial. Documents you generate through MCP use your account's credits, the same as on the platform.
- Create an account at https://formatix.ai**. New accounts get **10 free trial credits (no card, valid for 14 days), usable from MCP during the trial; after that, choose a paid plan.
- Create an API key in Settings → API keys.
- Set the key as
FORMATIX_API_KEYin the configs below.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
claude_desktop_config.json (or .mcp.json for Claude Code):
{
"mcpServers": {
"formatix": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@formatix-ai/mcp"],
"env": {
"FORMATIX_API_KEY": "fxi_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"formatix": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@formatix-ai/mcp"],
"env": { "FORMATIX_API_KEY": "fxi_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
ChatGPT / Perplexity (remote connector)
Add a custom connector / MCP server pointing at the hosted endpoint:
https://platform.formatix.ai/mcp
Authenticate with your Formatix account (OAuth) or paste your fxi_ API key when prompted.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_document_types | List every document Formatix can generate (assessment reports, profiles, shortlists, proposals…) with available formats. Call this first. |
generate_document | The hero. Any source text → any branded document in DOCX/PPTX/PDF/XLSX. Returns a record_id. |
format_from_linkedin | LinkedIn profile text → polished resume / candidate profile. |
check_status | Poll a record_id; returns the download link when the document is ready. |
Typical agent flow
list_document_types() → choose a template_id + template_type
generate_document(source_text, template_id, → returns record_id
template_type, output_format)
check_status(record_id) → "Formatted" + download_url
→ hand the download_url back to the client
Configuration
| Env var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
FORMATIX_API_KEY | (none) | Your fxi_ key from your Formatix account (Settings → API keys). Required: without it, every tool returns setup instructions. |
FORMATIX_API_BASE | https://platform.formatix.ai | Override for testing against another environment. |
How it works
This package is a thin client. All formatting, AI extraction and rendering run on the Formatix platform; this server simply exposes a small, agent-friendly set of tools over the Model Context Protocol. No credentials are stored in this repo — you supply your own key.
