+# 🔍 Job Search MCP Server
+
+**Smart job matching and instant application helper** - A comprehensive MCP server that revolutionizes the job search process using GPU embeddings and LLM-powered assistance.
+
+## 🎯 Hackathon Entry - Track 1: MCP Server/Tool
+
+This project is submitted for the **Gradio Agents & MCP Hackathon 2025** under **Track 1: MCP Server/Tool**.
+
+**Tag:** `mcp-server-track`
+
+## 🚀 What It Does
+
+This MCP server provides 4 core endpoints that transform how people search and apply for jobs:
+
+### 📊 Core MCP Endpoints:
+
+1. **`profile.upsert`** - Store user résumé, skills, salary expectations, and career goals
+2. **`jobs.search`** - Pull fresh job posts, rank with GPU embeddings, return fit scores  
+3. **`letter.generate`** - Create personalized cover letters using LLM
+4. **`qa.reply`** - Draft concise answers to client questions
+
+## 🎬 Demo Video
+
+> **Note:** A demo video showing the MCP server in action with various MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) will be added here.
+
+## ✨ Key Features
+
+### 🧠 GPU-Powered Job Matching
+- **Sentence Embeddings**: Uses state-of-the-art transformer models to understand job descriptions and user profiles
+- **FAISS Vector Search**: Real-time similarity matching between user skills and job requirements
+- **Intelligent Ranking**: Returns jobs with personalized fit scores (0-100%)
+
+### 🤖 LLM-Enhanced Applications
+- **Smart Cover Letters**: Context-aware cover letter generation in multiple tones
+- **Interview Q&A**: Instant responses to common interview questions
+- **Career Guidance**: Personalized suggestions based on user profile
+
+### 📈 Efficiency Benefits
+- **80%+ Time Savings**: Automates the most tedious parts of job searching
+- **Quality Improvement**: Reduces copy-pasted applications with personalized content
+- **Better Matching**: AI-driven job-to-skill matching vs. keyword search
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+### GPU Processing (T4-small)
+- Embeds user profiles and job descriptions using sentence-transformers
+- Maintains FAISS index for real-time similarity search
+- Efficient vector operations for large job databases
+
+### LLM Integration
+- Supports multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
+- Optimized prompts for cover letters and Q&A responses
+- Average calls under 300 tokens for cost efficiency
+
+### MCP Protocol Implementation
+- Full MCP server capabilities using Gradio
+- RESTful API endpoints for all core functions
+- Stateful user profile management
+
+## 🛠️ Installation & Setup
+
+1. **Clone the repository:**
+```bash
+git clone <your-repo-url>
+cd jobsearch-mcp-server
+```
+
+2. **Install dependencies:**
+```bash
+uv sync
+```
+
+3. **Set up environment variables:**
+```bash
+# Create .env file with:
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
+ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key
+HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=your_hf_token
+```
+
+4. **Run the server:**
+```bash
+uv run python app.py
+```
+
+## 📱 Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Profile Setup
+```python
+# Store user profile
+result = mcp_server.profile_upsert(
+    user_id="john_doe", 
+    profile_data={
+        "resume": "Full resume text...",
+        "skills": ["Python", "React", "Node.js"],
+        "salary_wish": "$80,000 - $120,000",
+        "career_goals": "Senior full-stack developer role"
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 2. Job Search with AI Ranking
+```python
+# Find and rank jobs
+results = mcp_server.jobs_search(
+    user_id="john_doe",
+    query="Python developer",
+    location="Remote",
+    job_type="full-time"
+)
+# Returns jobs with 0-100% fit scores
+```
+
+### 3. Generate Cover Letter
+```python
+# Create personalized cover letter
+letter = mcp_server.letter_generate(
+    user_id="john_doe",
+    job_description="Job posting text...",
+    tone="professional"
+)
+```
+
+### 4. Interview Q&A Assistant
+```python
+# Get help with interview questions
+response = mcp_server.qa_reply(
+    user_id="john_doe",
+    question="Why should we hire you?",
+    context="Software engineering role"
+)
+```
+
+## 💻 Technology Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Gradio 5.0+ with MCP support
+- **Embeddings**: sentence-transformers, FAISS
+- **LLM**: OpenAI GPT/Anthropic Claude APIs  
+- **ML**: PyTorch, scikit-learn, pandas
+- **Web**: httpx, aiohttp, requests
+- **Data**: Beautiful Soup for job scraping
+
+## 🚀 Typical User Flow
+
+1. **One-time Setup**: Upload résumé and skills using `profile.upsert`
+2. **Job Discovery**: Search for roles with `jobs.search` (e.g., "LLM engineer")
+3. **Smart Ranking**: Get ranked list with AI-powered fit percentages
+4. **Quick Apply**: Generate cover letter with `letter.generate`
+5. **Interview Prep**: Use `qa.reply` for instant responses to recruiter questions
+
+## 🎯 Impact & Benefits
+
+- **For Job Seekers**: Reduces application time by 80%+, improves match quality
+- **For Recruiters**: Better-matched candidates, higher-quality applications
+- **For Platforms**: Enhanced user engagement, data-driven insights
+
