MCP Creator Growth

English | 简体中文 | 繁體中文

A context-aware Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a learning sidecar for AI coding assistants. It helps developers learn from AI-generated code changes through interactive quizzes and provides agents with a persistent project-specific debugging memory.

🛠️ Installation

One-Line Install (Recommended)

The installer will:

1. Auto-detect your Python environment (uv → conda → venv)

2. Clone the repository to ~/mcp-creator-growth

3. Create virtual environment and install dependencies

4. Print the exact command to configure your IDE

Manual Installation

Prerequisites: Python 3.11+ or uv

Docker Installation

Prerequisites: Docker installed on your system

For detailed Docker usage, persistent storage, and Claude Desktop integration, see DOCKER.md.

⚙️ IDE Configuration

Claude Code (CLI) — One Command Setup

After installation, configure your AI coding IDE to use this MCP server.

Claude Code

Option 1: CLI (Recommended)

Option 2: Config File

Add to ~/.claude.json:

For Windows:

Example paths:

• Unix (uv): ~/mcp-creator-growth/mcp-creator-growth/bin/mcp-creator-growth

• Windows (uv): C:\\Users\\YourName\\mcp-creator-growth\\mcp-creator-growth\\Scripts\\mcp-creator-growth.exe

• Windows (conda): C:\\Users\\YourName\\anaconda3\\envs\\mcp-creator-growth\\Scripts\\mcp-creator-growth.exe

Cursor

Add to Cursor MCP settings (Settings → MCP → Add Server):

For Windows:

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

Docker Configuration

To use Docker with any MCP-compatible IDE:

See DOCKER.md for detailed Docker configuration examples for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other IDEs.

Other IDEs

For any MCP-compatible IDE, use these settings:

• Command: <install-path>/mcp-creator-growth/bin/mcp-creator-growth (or mcp-creator-growth\Scripts\mcp-creator-growth.exe on Windows)

• Transport: stdio

After configuration, restart your IDE.

Usage

Available Tools

For Users: Learning Session

Say to your AI assistant:

• "Quiz me on this change"

• "Test my understanding"

• "Help me learn about what you did"

The agent will create an interactive learning card and wait until you complete it.

Note: Quiz scores are saved locally for your self-tracking but are NOT returned to the agent - this keeps the context clean.

For Agents: Debug Tools

The debug tools work silently in the background:

• Search first: When encountering errors, agent searches past solutions

• Record after: When fixing errors, agent records the solution

• Progressive disclosure: Returns compact summaries, not full records

• Fast lookups: Uses inverted index for keyword-based searches

Updating

One-Line Update (Recommended)

The remote update script automatically detects your installation and works with any path format (including Chinese/non-ASCII paths):

The update script will:

1. Auto-detect your installation location (supports multiple installations)

2. Pull the latest changes from the repository

3. Force-reinstall dependencies to ensure version synchronization

4. Verify installation integrity and report any issues

5. Detect if MCP server is in use and provide clear instructions

Why remote update?

• ✅ Works with Chinese/non-ASCII paths without cd navigation

• ✅ Always uses the latest update logic from the repository

• ✅ Auto-detects installation location even if you forgot where it is

• ✅ Handles multiple installations gracefully

Local Update (Alternative)

macOS / Linux:

Windows (PowerShell):
