Details
From the project READMEknowuswell-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for KnowUsWell — the friendship quiz that needs two people.
Let your AI assistant host the quiz right in the conversation: it asks you 16 quick behaviour questions, scores your four-letter role, and — once your friend has answered their half — combines both codes into one of 16 pair types, a card that belongs to the friendship rather than to either person.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_quiz_questions | The 16 behaviour questions (true = "more like me") |
score_quiz | Answers → four-letter role code + full role card + link |
combine_pair | Two role codes → one of 16 pair types + shared result link |
get_conversation_questions | 50 read-aloud "how well do you know me" questions, easy to brutal |
Scoring is deterministic and identical to knowuswell.com — the same answers always produce the same code, and ties break the same way. Result links open the shared card page on the site, where you can collect all 16 types.

Or clone and run locally:
git clone https://github.com/ppop123/knowuswell-mcp.git
cd knowuswell-mcp && npm install

"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/knowuswell-mcp/index.js"]
}
}
}
Try it
"Host the KnowUsWell friendship quiz for me."
The assistant asks the 16 questions, tells you your role (say, ESPR — The Cat: appears on your terms, still yours), and gives you a link to send your friend. When their code comes back:
"We got LOCT and ESPR — what are we?"
…it combines them into your pair type (The Anchor and the Kite, in this case) with what works, what to watch, and a shared card page for the two of you.
Privacy
The server is a pure local calculator: questions, scoring tables and card text ship in data.json. Nothing you answer is sent anywhere — the only network activity is you choosing to open a result link. (The site works the same way: answers travel inside the URL fragment, which browsers never transmit.)
About
Built by KnowUsWell. The quiz is free to play on the site — no account, nothing stored. One optional extra exists: a $1.99 illustrated art card of your pair type, drawn from your own photos and clearly labelled AI-generated.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
