Problem Statement** In this Hackathon, your task is to create one or more MCP servers and integrate them into Le Chat. Your MCP(s) should work together to produce a cohesive and innovative solution. There are no limitations on the domain. You may choose any subject area you find relevant, such as: - Development tools - Productivity tools - Video games - Creativity - Psychology - Education - Or any other field that inspires you The goal is to push the boundaries of Le Chat by leveraging external tools. Before starting, ask yourself: **|** Can I already do this natively in Le Chat? If the answer is no, you are off to a good start. ## **8. Example Projects** **a. Personal Application Tracker** Leverage Le Chat’s OCR capabilities to analyze your resume and automatically scan job platforms (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.) for relevant opportunities. The MCP could: - Find relevant jobs based on your skillset. - Apply to jobs on your behalf by filling out forms. - Track applications in a structured spreadsheet (e.g., Google Sheets) \ **b. Le Chat as a Dungeon Master for D&D** Transform Le Chat into a multiplayer game master for Dungeons & Dragons. The MCP could: - Manage character sheets and game state for all players. - Simulate dice rolls and resolve in-game effects. - Enable real-time collaboration, allowing players to interact through Le Chat as if they were around a physical table. **c. Interactive Language Learning Companion** Build an MCP that transforms Le Chat into a personalized language tutor The MCP could: - Uses speech recognition and OCR to correct pronunciation and grammar in real time. - Generates custom quizzes and flashcards based on the user’s progress. - Simulates conversations with AI characters (e.g., ordering food in a virtual café). - Tracks fluency milestones and suggests cultural content (movies, articles) to reinforce learning. ## **9.
