laddro.coverLetters.create
Create a new cover letter manually with provided contact details and letter content
LABSCO SUMMARY
The rewrite and the typesetting are separate calls, so neither one costs you the other.
Tailoring against a posting produces the content; rendering decides how it looks. That split means a document can be re-skinned for a different template or locale without going back through the rewrite, and a template's ATS score is visible before you commit to it.
What it is
A client for the Laddro Career API: resumes and cover letters stored in an account, rewritten against a job posting, and rendered to PDF with a chosen template, colour scheme, font and spacing.
What you get
- A resume tailored to a job — paste the description or give the posting's URL, and the content is rewritten to match, returned as a PDF
- A cover letter generated from a resume and the same posting, or written manually from contact details and letter content you supply
- Templates browsed with their ATS scores and layout types, and one opened for its colour schemes, fonts and preview images
- Re-rendering as its own step: the same document with a different template, font size, margin, spacing, colour or page numbering
- 14 languages and locales for resume content, and the font families available for rendering
- Your saved resumes and cover letters listed with pagination, and any of them fetched by ID
- Bring your own key: the AI provider and model set per account with the key stored encrypted, and removable to fall back to Laddro's default model
Requirements
A Laddro account and an API key from console.laddro.com — a laddro_live_ key. Two ways in: over stdio from npm as @laddro/career-mcp with LADDRO_API_KEY set, or against the hosted endpoint at https://mcp.laddro.com/mcp with the key sent as an Authorization bearer token or an x-api-key header. Rendering or exporting a document costs 1 API credit per call.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx @laddro/career-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Applying to a posting you just found
Hand over the job URL and the resume to use; the content is rewritten against the description and comes back as a PDF, with a cover letter in the same call if you ask for one.
02
Choosing a template that will survive the screener
Browse the templates with their ATS scores and layouts, open the shortlist for colours and fonts, then render your resume in the one you picked.
03
Writing the cover letter that goes with it
Generate it from the resume and the posting, or create one by hand with the hiring manager and company filled in, then render it to match the resume.
04
Applying in another language
Check which locales are supported, then re-render the same document in the one the employer reads.
05
Running the rewrites on your own model
See which providers and models are supported, save your own key for one of them, and drop back to the default whenever you want.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
18 tools when we connected; the project documents 22. laddro.resume.schema, laddro.resume.create, laddro.resume.update and laddro.coverLetter.schema appear only in OAuth connector sessions with MCP_CONNECTOR_ENABLED on. Without them you can tailor and export existing resumes but not create new ones.
