12 MCP tools for Khan Academy, runnable with npx khanmcp

Why I started

Khan Academy had no MCP server, so AI assistants couldn't use one of the best free learning libraries. I built an unofficial one.

What I did

I wrote 12 tools: search, topic trees, courses, lessons, video transcripts, articles, exercises, quizzes, and a study-guide builder. It needs no API key and runs with npx khanmcp.

Progress so far

It's published to npm and also runs as a hosted MCP endpoint, so it works with no install. Other developers have starred it on GitHub.

What's next

Wire it into a tutor that builds study plans from real Khan content.
