mcp

The mcp server is a robust backend solution designed specifically for managing online course platforms. Developers can leverage its capabilities to create, manage, and deliver educational content efficiently, enabling a seamless learning experience for users. With its structured API, you can easily integrate course management functionalities into your applications.

Once connected to the mcp server, you can interact with it using RESTful API calls to manage courses and user data. The server allows you to create, read, update, and delete courses, along with handling user enrollments. You can utilize tools like Postman or cURL to send HTTP requests, ensuring you format your queries correctly to match the server's expected endpoints.

Prerequisites

Before installing the mcp server, ensure you have Node.js (version 14 or higher) installed on your machine.

Option A: Quick start with npx

If you want to quickly start the server without a global installation, you can run:

npx -y mcp

Option B: Global install alternative

Alternatively, you can install the server globally using npm:

npm install -g mcp

For optimal performance, consider configuring environment variables such as DATABASE_URL for database connections and PORT to set the server's listening port. A common issue arises when the server fails to start due to port conflicts, so ensure the specified port is available before launching.
