How it works
AI agent ──MCP over stdio──▶ faradars-mcp ──HTTPS──▶ faradars.org/api/client courses, categories, instructors
└──────▶ blog.faradars.org/wp-json magazine
Requests look like Faradars' own web app (Chrome TLS fingerprint and headers), at most two at a time, with a 5 minute
cache. Set FARADARS_MCP_PROXY=http://host:port to route through a proxy.

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.
