Connect OpenCode to your job search

1. 01

   Create an API key

   Sign in to ResumeQuick, open Settings → Extension & Claude and create a key, e.g. "OpenCode on laptop". Copy the rq_live_… value: it is shown once.

2. 02

   Put the key in an environment variable

   Add it to your shell profile so OpenCode can read it. The config below refers to the variable, never to the key itself.

   export RESUMEQUICK_API_KEY=rq_live_...

3. 03

   Add the server to opencode.json

   Use ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json for every project, or opencode.json in a project root for one project. Sign-in through the browser is turned off and the key goes in the Authorization header. The longer timeout leaves room for tools that generate something.

   {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "mcp": {
       "resumequick": {
         "type": "remote",
         "url": "https://mcp.resumequick.app/mcp",
         "oauth": false,
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer {env:RESUMEQUICK_API_KEY}"
         },
         "timeout": 30000
       }
     }
   }

   Ask

   Start OpenCode and ask anything that needs your job-search data. The tools show up as resumequick_… and follow your usual OpenCode permission settings.

• OpenCode waits 5 seconds for a server by default; "timeout": 30000 gives generating tools enough time.
• Every tool description takes context. If you only need a few, turn the rest off in the tools section of opencode.json with a pattern such as "resumequick_*".
• Keep "oauth": false: without it OpenCode tries to sign in through the browser first, and that path does not work with ResumeQuick yet.
• The key gives full access to your account through these tools. Revoke it in Settings → Extension & Claude whenever you stop using it.
