EduChain MCP Integration Server

This project implements an MCP-compatible Flask server that integrates with the educhain Python library to dynamically generate educational content for Claude Desktop.

It provides three core educational tools:

• 🧠 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
• 📘 Lesson Plans
• 🃏 Flashcards (Bonus)

🚀 Features

• 📡 Exposes REST API endpoints for Claude Desktop integration
• 🔐 Uses .env file to securely manage OpenAI API keys
• 📦 Lightweight and easy to deploy
• 🧪 Includes sample responses and test script

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python 3.10+
• Flask
• EduChain (via educhain package)
• dotenv (python-dotenv for secure API handling)
• Claude Desktop MCP Protocol (local JSON config)

📦 Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/abanindra3/educhain-mcp.git
cd educhain-mcp
2. Create and Activate Virtual Environment (Recommended)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate     # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install flask python-dotenv

4. Create .env File
Create a .env file in the root directory and add your OpenAI API key:
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key_here

5. Run the Server
python mcp_server.py

Server will run at:
📍 http://localhost:5000

6. Test the Endpoints
You can run:
python test_server.py
Or test manually using Postman/Hoppscotch with these POST endpoints:
