From the project READMEFiveable for AP Students
Use Fiveable's AP study content and student study tools inside MCP-compatible AI apps.
Teacher connector
Looking for grading and class prep? Fiveable for AP Teachers is a separate connector with its own endpoint and OAuth consent. The root extension and configuration in this repository remain student-only.
Connect
Add this remote Streamable HTTP endpoint to your MCP client:
https://fiveable.me/api/mcp
There is no package to install and no API key to copy. Public discovery and limited content previews work without a Fiveable account. Personal progress and saved actions use Fiveable OAuth.
Cursor
This repository includes a Cursor plugin manifest and an mcp.json configuration for the hosted Fiveable server. In Cursor, open Customize → MCPs, add a remote server, and use:
https://fiveable.me/api/mcp
Cursor will open Fiveable's OAuth flow when a personalized tool needs account access.
Gemini CLI
Install this repository as a Gemini CLI extension:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/thinkfiveable/fiveable-mcp
Gemini CLI connects to the hosted Fiveable MCP through the extension. Run /mcp auth fiveable-ap-students to connect a Fiveable account for personalized tools.
What it supports
- AP subjects, units, study guides, key terms, and relevant passages
- Multiple-choice practice and adaptive diagnostics
- Fiveable and student-supplied FRQ scoring
- AP score calculators
- Personal progress, study plans, and completed exam results
- Official Fiveable cheatsheets
- Student-accessible assignment summaries with released feedback
The connector is student-only. It does not expose teacher rosters, active answer keys, internal moderation tools, or another student's data.
Documentation and support
Security
Fiveable uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for connected tools. Please report security issues through Fiveable's published security contact rather than a public GitHub issue.

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.
