# Job Application Automator

Streamlines job searching by tracking applications, tailoring resumes/cover letters with AI for each role, and managing follow-ups.

## Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

- Gmail
- GoogleSheets
- Linkedin
- GoogleSearch

## Setup Guide

1. ### Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

2. ### Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to **MCP Gateway** page in Arcade, then click **Create MCP Gateway**.
   Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what LangSmith Fleet will discover automatically):
   **Example:** If you choose slug `my-agent`, your MCP URL will be:
   
   `https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent`

3. ### Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:
   
   - Gmail.ListEmails
   - Gmail.SendEmail
   - Gmail.ReplyToEmail
   - GoogleSheets.GetSpreadsheet
   - GoogleSheets.UpdateCells
   - GoogleSheets.CreateSpreadsheet
   - Linkedin.CreateTextPost
   - GoogleSearch.Search

**Why this matters:** Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 8 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.

4. ### Open LangSmith Fleet and connect Arcade

Arcade is available as a **native integration** in LangSmith Fleet. Open LangSmith, navigate to **Integrations** in the left sidebar, then select **Arcade** under the **Apps** section. Click **Connect** to link your Arcade account.
