## Description
MCP server for roadmap.sh: roadmaps, best practices, interview questions, projects & progress

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-roadmapsh": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","mcp-roadmapsh"]
  }
}
```

MCP server for [roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh) — developer roadmaps, best
practices, interview questions, project ideas, videos, and local progress
tracking. Built on the official `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` (TypeScript / stdio).

All data comes from official, public sources — no scraping, no mock data:

- `https://roadmap.sh/{slug}.json` — rendered roadmap graphs
- `raw.githubusercontent.com/nilbuild/developer-roadmap` — topic markdown
- GitHub contents API — dynamic slug listings

## Prerequisite

[Node.js](https://nodejs.org) **20 or newer** (`node --version` to check). That is
the only requirement — `npx` (bundled with Node) handles the rest, no manual
clone or build needed.

## Quick start

### Claude Code (one command)

```bash
# Once published to npm:
claude mcp add roadmapsh -- npx -y mcp-roadmapsh

# Works today, straight from GitHub (npx builds it for you):
claude mcp add roadmapsh -- npx -y github:aissablk1/mcp-roadmapsh
```

### Any MCP client (JSON config)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "roadmapsh": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-roadmapsh"] }
  }
}
```

Replace `mcp-roadmapsh` with `github:aissablk1/mcp-roadmapsh` to run the latest
GitHub version before the npm release.

### From source (contributors)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/aissablk1/mcp-roadmapsh.git
cd mcp-roadmapsh
npm install        # `prepare` builds dist/ automatically
npm test           # end-to-end test against real data
node dist/index.js # stdio MCP server
npm run inspect    # open the MCP Inspector
```

official Model Context Protocol registry.
