Overview
What is mcp-server?
mcp-server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for InterviewReady that allows fetching content (blogs, resources, course materials) and performing update actions (adding notes to a user’s notepad, setting Google reminders for future classes). It is designed for users of MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor.
How to use mcp-server?
Clone the repository, run pnpm install, then pnpm run build. Configure the server in an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor) by adding a JSON entry with the command node and the path to the built index.js file. In Cursor, use agent mode, as MCP does not work in Ask mode.
