What is Study Kit?

Study Kit is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets your AI assistant teach courses with interactive practice. Upload a PDF or describe a topic — Study Kit generates a structured course (objectives, key terms, worked examples, practice prompts), and your AI teaches it lesson by lesson with widgets you click instead of walls of text.

The MCP server is what powers the in-chat experience. When you say "teach me Lesson 3 of my Kubernetes course" in ChatGPT or Claude, the AI uses Study Kit's tools to pull the lesson, render a question widget, and record your answer.
