Interviewer MCP Overview

The interviewer-mcp MCP server indexes GitHub repositories into teachable code sections and uses them for technical interview preparation. Its tools expose repository ingestion, ordered section review, code retrieval, coverage tracking, interview targeting, answer scoring, job-description storage, and progress history. Data is stored locally, while GitHub is the only external service described for network access. Reach for it when candidates need to explain their own code and revisit weak areas across sessions.

Primary Use Cases for Interviewer MCP:
  • Prepare to explain a portfolio repository in a technical interview
  • Review weak sections from previous mock interviews
  • Map a job description and CV to evidence in a codebase
  • Practice questions about authentication, APIs, SQL, and concurrency in your code
