Learning Hour MCP

Generates Learning Hour content and Miro boards for Technical Coaches.

Generate Learning Hour content for Technical Coaches using AI. Create structured practice sessions that help development teams master technical excellence through the 4C Learning Model.

An MCP server that helps Technical Coaches run Learning Hours - structured 60-minute practice sessions where teams improve their coding skills through deliberate practice. It generates session plans, code examples, and can even create interactive Miro boards.

"Use the learning hour tools to create a session about the Extract Method refactoring"

Claude will generate a complete 60-minute session plan with:

- Opening connection activity
- Concept introduction
- Hands-on coding exercise
- Reflection and commitment

Generate a complete Learning Hour session plan with activities following the 4C model (Connect, Concept, Concrete, Conclusion).

{ "topic": "Feature Envy" }

Create before/after code examples for a specific topic.

{ "topic": "Extract Method", "language": "typescript" }

Create a new Miro board or add frames to an existing board (requiresMIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN).

{ "sessionContent": { / from generate_session / }, "existingBoardId": "optional-board-id" // If provided, adds frames to existing board }

List all Miro boards accessible with your token (requiresMIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN).

{ "limit": 50, // Optional, max 50 "cursor": "optional-pagination-cursor" }

Get details about a specific Miro board (requiresMIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN).

{ "boardId": "board-id-to-get" }

Delete a Miro board (requiresMIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN). Use with caution!

{ "boardId": "board-id-to-delete", "confirm": true // Required safety check }

Find real code examples in GitHub repositories (requiresGITHUB_TOKEN).

Analyze a repository's technology stack to create team-specific content (requiresGITHUB_TOKEN).

Transform your Learning Hour into a visual, interactive workshop board

- Go toMiro Apps
- Create a new app (name it "Learning Hours")
- Copy the access token
- Add asMIRO_ACCESS_TOKENin your config
