🧠 Trivia Quiz MCP Server for Kiro

A custom MCP server that connects Kiro to the Open Trivia Database (https://opentdb.com/) β€” giving Kiro the ability to fetch real quiz questions, categories, and stats to build interactive quiz applications.

πŸ”Œ What It Connects To

Open Trivia Database (opentdb.com) β€” a free, real API with 4,000+ trivia questions across 24 categories. No API key required.

Related MCP server: quiz-it

Description

get_trivia_questions

Fetch random trivia questions by difficulty (easy/medium/hard)

list_trivia_categories

List all 24 available quiz categories

get_category_stats

Get question count stats per category

🎯 What I Built With It

An interactive HTML trivia quiz app that Kiro builds using real data from the MCP server β€” fetching live questions, showing multiple choice options, tracking score, and displaying results. This is only possible because of the MCP integration β€” without it, Kiro has no access to trivia data.

    TDQS

    A3.9/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one retrieves random questions, the other lists categories. No ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: get_trivia_questions, list_trivia_categories.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server feels thin. While it covers basic functionality, the small number is borderline for a trivia server.

    Completeness3/5

    The server lacks the ability to get questions filtered by category or difficulty, making the category list standalone and less useful. Notable missing operations.
