erickwendel-contributions

This MCP server provides access to Erick Wendel's contributions across talks, posts and videos. It exposes tools to query talks through get-talks, posts via get-posts, and videos with get-videos, all with optional filtering (by id, title, language, city, country, year, portal) and pagination. Additional utilities include check-status to verify API health, and prompts like find-content to generate targeted queries and summarize-activity to create year-by-year activity summaries. You can inspect the server's capabilities using the MCP Inspector (npm run inspect) to see available tools and parameters. The server is designed to be used with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or MCPHost, enabling natural language questions such as “how many talks were given in 2023?” or “find posts about WebXR.”

Prerequisites:

• Node.js v20+ (the project notes Node.js v23+ for native TypeScript support; use a compatible version available in your environment)
• npm or yarn

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/erickwendel/erickwendel-contributions-mcp.git
cd erickwendel-contributions-mcp

2. Install dependencies

npm ci

3. Start the MCP server

npm start

4. Optional: Inspect available MCP capabilities

npm run inspect

5. (Alternative) If you prefer using npx directly from a host project

# Example equivalent to Quick Start in README
npx -y @erickwendel/contributions-mcp

Tips and notes:

• This server is built with Node.js and TypeScript; ensure you’re using a compatible Node.js version (v20+ is mentioned, with newer native TS support in v23+ in development notes).
• The quick start configuration uses npx to fetch and run the MCP package; you can adapt the mcpServers entry for Cursor, Claude Desktop, or MCPHost as needed.
• If you’re integrating with MCPHost or Ollama, you can reuse the same server entry by pointing to the npx package or to a local development path as shown in the README.
• For local development with absolute paths, the README demonstrates using node with --experimental-strip-types and an ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PROJECT/src/index.ts entry point.
• Configuration examples are provided for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and MCPHost; ensure the paths and environment where the MCP runs have access to the necessary resources (Network/API access, etc.).
