How do I install the Fiveable for AP Students MCP server?

Fiveable for AP Students is a hosted endpoint at https://fiveable.me/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 37 exposed · ~5,261 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
calculate_ap_score ~143

Predicts a 1-5 AP score from raw section scores using Fiveable's per-subject score calculator, and explains the weighting. Call with no sectionScores to see which sections the subject has and their point maximums, then call again with the student's scores. Cheap.

NameTypeReqDescription

Creates and saves a trackable Fiveable study plan from the student's topic and available time. Free for signed-in students; uses Fiveable's existing generator and verified resource catalog. Returns a plan id immediately while the plan builds, usually within a minute — read it with get_study_plan, which reports whether it is still building. Reuse requestId with identical input to retry; never call this twice for the same plan.

get_content_sections ~178

Returns a small set of passages from Fiveable study guides that are most relevant to one question. Use this for narrow explanations, research questions, and checking student notes instead of fetching a full guide. One call consumes one full-content preview for a free caller.

NameTypeReqDescription

get_frq ~127

Returns one full, original Fiveable FRQ prompt: stimulus, background and every lettered part with its point value. The returned prompt is eligible for Fiveable's saved scoring workflow after the student writes a response. It consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this FRQ. Moderate cost — 1-4k tokens.

get_my_study_progress ~140

Returns the signed-in student's durable Fiveable progress for one subject: multiple-choice accuracy, weak topics and units, FRQ performance, skill groups and recent activity, respecting the website progress reset. Also includes completed exams, plus assignment and study-plan summaries when their separate permissions are granted. Call this before choosing what to explain or practice so recommendations carry across conversations and AI clients.

textstringReadable tool result text for clients that consume structured output.

No examples provided.

get_practice_questions ~643

Returns original, course-specific multiple-choice practice questions. Free-text topics are matched against Fiveable's course map, so natural phrasing works. Omit topic to get balanced practice across the whole subject, with varied units, skills and stimulus formats. For history, science and language subjects this can return source-based sets — one stimulus with several questions off it — and stimulus images come back as viewable images. This is targeted or mixed practice, distinct from Fiveable's durable adaptive diagnostic. Every question carries a `Question id` that supports a saved answer submission for student progress. The recentCorrect and recentAnswered inputs allow the tool to drop to easier question types when a student is missing questions, helping find where understanding breaks down. A returned question set consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this practice feature. Moderate cost — roughly 300 tokens per question, more when images are attached.

get_study_guide ~223

Returns the full text of one Fiveable AP study guide as Markdown. Accepts the exact canonical guide reference or a close approximation of its title.

Expensive — a full guide can be 3-8k tokens.

NameTypeReqDescription

list_subjects ~121

Lists every AP subject Fiveable covers, with its canonical subject slug and flags for which features exist for that subject (practice questions, key terms, score calculator). Suitable when a subject slug is not already known. Cheap — roughly 1-2k tokens.

NameTypeReqDescription

report_content_issue ~154

Submit a content issue to Fiveable support only when the student explicitly asks to report it. This may lead to normal support follow-up. Do not automatically report disagreements or send conversation history, unrelated notes, or personal information. Fiveable resolves the content and reporter identity. Reuse requestId on retries.

NameTypeReqDescription

score_external_frq_response ~351

Scores a student's existing FRQ even when it did not come from Fiveable. If the student attached photos, the host AI must first transcribe the prompt and response, show the transcription for confirmation, then call this tool. Optional prompt images preserve graphs or artwork that text alone cannot represent. Requires sign-in; one free scoring preview is included, with further scoring available to eligible accounts. The attempt is saved to the student's Fiveable progress. Returns a pending scoring job; poll get_scoring_result. Reuse requestId for retries.

score_frq_response ~214

Submits the student's own response to a Fiveable practice FRQ for saved, asynchronous scoring. Supports text, subparts, drawings/photos, LEQ selection, CSP program code and Business project references. Excludes teacher assignments and exams. Returns a scoring job id for status retrieval, and requestId provides idempotent retries. One free score is available to signed-in students.
