What can you do with this server?

The SAIR MCP Server exposes the SAIR Competition Public API as 48 tools for MCP clients, enabling end-to-end interaction with competitions, practice playground, personal libraries, and community sharing. Account * Verify your API key and inspect granted scopes (get_me) Competitions * Browse competitions and read their submission specs * Check eligibility before submitting * Submit competition entries (cheatsheet, model-reference, solver-participation, IGP24-polynomial) * View leaderboards and your own standing * Read, download, and manage submissions * Track IGP24 label discovery progress in bulk Playground * Browse available models and problem sets for practice * Submit, list, cancel, and manage practice runs * Retrieve per-problem results for a run * Stream live verdict events for solver-participation runs * Check usage and credit balance Cheatsheets * Create, list, read, update, and delete personal cheatsheets for use in runs and competitions Solver Templates * Create, list, read, update, and delete personal Lean 4 solver templates Custom Lean Problems * Create, list, read, and delete private immutable Lean statement pairs for use in solver-participation runs Contributor Network * Browse and search shared cheatsheets, solver templates, and model references * Publish and withdraw your own resources to/from the community * Favorite and unfavorite items * Comment on items and delete your own comments * Explore lineage graphs for individual items or across all visible items * View benchmark results for published items, overall or per-model

How do I use SAIR MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@SAIR MCP Server List all active competitions" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Python

sair-mcp

A local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the SAIR Competition Public API as tools for an MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any other MCP-compatible client).

It covers the full documented API surface: account introspection, competitions (browsing, eligibility, leaderboards, submissions, IGP24 label progress), Playground (models, problem sets, runs, results, live event streaming, usage), your private cheatsheet and Lean solver-template libraries, custom Lean problems, and the Contributor Network (browsing, publishing, favoriting, commenting, lineage graphs, benchmarks).

Installation

Requires Python 3.10+.

git clone <this-repo>
cd SAIRmcp
pip install -e .

Related MCP server: codabench-mcp

Getting a SAIR API key

Sign in to SAIR and open Account settings -> API keys.
Create a key and select the scopes you need. At minimum, for the examples below: competition.read and competition.write. Add playground.read / playground.write for Playground tools, contributor-network.read / contributor-network.write for Contributor Network tools.
Copy the key immediately -- it is shown only once. Keys look like sair_a1b2c3d4_zR9....

Configuration

Set these environment variables before starting the server:

Variable	Required	Default	Purpose
`SAIR_API_KEY`	Yes	-	Your personal SAIR API key. The server refuses to start without it.
`SAIR_BASE_URL`	No	`https://api.sair.foundation/api/public/v1`	Override for testing against a different environment.

Running it standalone

python -m sair_mcp

This starts the server on stdio and blocks, waiting for an MCP client to connect. There is no output on success; it's meant to be launched by an MCP client, not run interactively.

Registering with Claude Code and other mcp clients

Add to your project's .mcp.json (or user-level MCP config)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sair": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "sair_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SAIR_API_KEY": "sair_a1b2c3d4_zR9..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via the CLI, substituting the same absolute path:

claude mcp add sair -- python3 -m sair_mcp

(then set SAIR_API_KEY in your shell environment before launching Claude Code, or add it to the env block above).

Alternative: pyproject.toml also declares a sair-mcp console-script entry point, so once installed you can skip -m sair_mcp entirely and point command straight at that script's absolute path instead -- again, resolve it in the same command as the install so it can't drift to a different environment's sair-mcp:

pip install -e . && which sair-mcp

No args needed when using this form.

If you use a dedicated virtual environment for this project (recommended for isolation from other Python projects), the same rule applies: use <path-to-venv>/bin/python (or <path-to-venv>/bin/sair-mcp) as command, not a bare python.

Registering with Claude Desktop

Add the same shape to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers, using the same absolute-interpreter-path command as above -- Desktop's subprocess environment is even less likely than a terminal's to have your Python environment on PATH.

Usage example

A typical end-to-end flow, as an MCP client would call it:

get_me -- confirm the key is valid and see its scopes.
list_competitions -- find a competition ID.
get_competition("modular-arithmetic-challenge") -- read submissionSpec to learn the required payload shape.
get_my_participation("modular-arithmetic-challenge") -- check canSubmit before attempting anything.
submit_competition_entry("modular-arithmetic-challenge", payload={"modelName": "you/your-model", "commitHash": "0123...(40 hex chars)"}).
get_my_submission("modular-arithmetic-challenge") -- confirm the active submission.

Tool reference

All tools return the API's unwrapped data object as a dict (or None for 204 responses, or a plain string for the two text-returning tools). On error, the tool call fails with a SairApiError-derived message in the form [<http status> <error code>] <message>; consult SAIR's Errors documentation for the full code table.
