Recurse Mcp
What is Recurse Mcp
recurse-mcp is an MCP server designed for the Recurse Center, acting as a bridge between the Recurse Center’s API and AI tools.
Use cases
Use cases include enabling AI tools to assist users in finding fellow Recursers, managing community interactions, and accessing Recurse Center resources without direct API access.
How to use
To use recurse-mcp, clone the repository, create a .env file with your Recurse Center personal access token, install dependencies using npm, and run the server on port 9000.
Key features
Key features include the ability to search for Recursers, view their profiles, check who is present at the hub, and look up batches and locations through an MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Where to use
recurse-mcp can be used in educational and collaborative environments, particularly in coding bootcamps, hackathons, and tech communities that utilize the Recurse Center API.

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
stalkview their profiles - Check who’s hanging out at the hub
- Look up batches and locations
Why?
Why not?
Getting Started
- Clone this repo
- Create a
.envfile with your Recurse Center personal access token:RECURSE_PAT=your_token_goes_here - Install dependencies:
npm install - Run the server:
npm start - 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.
