  description: 'The GetMattered API runs the whole job hunt for you: it matches you to roles that fit your profile, rewrites your resume for each posting, writes the cover letter the form asks for, and auto-applies across the major applicant tracking systems. Every send is tracked from the swipe to the employer''s own confirmation, so you always know what landed. Authenticate with a Bearer session token. The same surface powers the web app, the mobile app and the GetMattered MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude and other agents.'
