# ATOTW MCP Server
Gives Claude access to 500+ anaesthesia tutorials from WFSA's Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week (ATOTW) program.
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- OpenAI API key
- Claude Desktop app
### Installation
1. Install uv (if you don't have it):
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
2. Clone and setup:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/atotw-mcp
cd atotw-mcp
uv sync
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-..." > .env
```
3. Initial sync (downloads tutorials, ~30 min first time):
```bash
uv run sync.py
```
### Add to Claude Desktop
Edit Claude Desktop config:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atotw": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"/absolute/path/to/atotw-mcp",
"mcp_server.py"
]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop.
## Usage
Ask Claude medical questions:
- "What are the considerations for spinal anaesthesia in children?"
- "Search for tutorials about difficult airway management"
- "Find tutorial 550 about SGLT-2 inhibitors"
- "Check for new tutorials" (runs sync via MCP)
## Maintenance
Weekly sync (via Claude or command line):
```bash
uv run sync.py
```
## Features
- **Smart Search**: Uses embeddings to find relevant tutorials even with different terminology
- **Full Text Access**: Retrieves complete tutorial content for detailed answers
- **Auto-sync**: Can check for new tutorials through Claude
- **English Only**: Automatically filters to English-language content only

## Troubleshooting
**"No tutorials found"**: Run `uv run sync.py` to download content.
**Search not working**: Check `.env` has valid OpenAI API key.
**Claude can't see the server**: Restart Claude Desktop after config changes.
