leetcode-helper

An MCP server that gives structured, AI-powered DSA guidance inside Claude Desktop or Claude Code — approach analysis, hints, complexity breakdowns, and more, without spoiling the solution.

Tools at a Glance

Tool

Input

What it returns

get_approach

problem

Pattern, steps, TC/SC

get_hint

problem + where stuck

Nudge, no spoilers

get_complexity

problem + code

TC/SC breakdown per block

post_solution

problem + accepted code

Discussion post ready to copy

similar_questions

problem

3–5 problems for the same pattern

upsolve

problem + working code

Optimization direction, not solution

Setup

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

git clone https://github.com/Navoren/leetcode-helper.git
cd leetcode-helper
npm install
npm run build

Connect to Claude Code

Add to .claude/settings.json (project or global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "leetcode-helper": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["d:/leetcode-helper/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "leetcode-helper": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/leetcode-helper/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Usage

Getting an approach:

"Use get_approach on: Given an array of integers, return indices of two numbers that add up to target."

Getting a hint when stuck:

"Use get_hint — problem: two sum, stuck on: my nested loop works but is too slow"

Generating a discussion post:

"Use post_solution with my accepted Python solution for two sum"

Upsolving:

"Use upsolve — here's my O(n²) solution, help me think toward better"
