What's This Thing?
A magical bridge between the Recurse Center's API and AI built by Namanyay (SP2'25)
What Does It Do?
This nifty little server lets AI tools (like Claude or ChatGPT) interact with the Recurse Center API to:
- Find fellow Recursers and ~~stalk~~ view their profiles
- Check who's hanging out at the hub
- Look up batches and locations
Why?
Why not?
Getting Started
1. Clone this repo
2. Create a .env file with your Recurse Center personal access token:
RECURSE_PAT=your_token_goes_here
3. Install dependencies:
npm install
4. Run the server:
npm start
5. The server runs on port 9000 by default
How It Works
This project implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), exposing Recurse Center API endpoints as MCP tools. It works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Your AI can now search for Recursers, check batches, and do other Recurse-y things without needing direct API access.
Requirements
- Node.js
- A Recurse Center API token
- A sense of humor
Disclaimer
This tool was not built to help AIs infiltrate the Recurse Center community and replace all humans with sophisticated bots. Probably.
