About Recurse MCP

Recurse MCP exposes Recurse Center API endpoints as MCP tools for AI-compatible clients. It helps users look up Recursers, batches, and locations, and check who is at the hub, using a personal access token.

Key features

  1. 01Search Recurse Center members
  2. 02View member profiles
  3. 03Check who is at the hub
  4. 04Look up batches and locations

Use cases

  1. 01Finding a Recurse Center member profile
  2. 02Checking who is at the hub
  3. 03Looking up a batch or location

MCP support

The MCP server exposes Recurse Center API endpoints as tools for MCP-compatible AI assistants. It requires a Recurse Center personal access token.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

No install method listed yet

We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

What's This Thing?

A magical bridge between the Recurse Center's API and AI built by Namanyay (SP2'25)

What Does It Do?

This nifty little server lets AI tools (like Claude or ChatGPT) interact with the Recurse Center API to:

  • Find fellow Recursers and stalk view their profiles
  • Check who's hanging out at the hub
  • Look up batches and locations

Why?

Why not?

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Create a .env file with your Recurse Center personal access token:
    RECURSE_PAT=your_token_goes_here
    
  3. Install dependencies:
    npm install
    
  4. Run the server:
    npm start
    
  5. The server runs on port 9000 by default

How It Works

This project implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), exposing Recurse Center API endpoints as MCP tools. It works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Your AI can now search for Recursers, check batches, and do other Recurse-y things without needing direct API access.

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Recurse Center API token
  • A sense of humor

Disclaimer

This tool was not built to help AIs infiltrate the Recurse Center community and replace all humans with sophisticated bots. Probably.

New to MCP?

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.
