Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant search, browse and fetch step-by-step craft tutorials, and submit requests for missing ones.

What you can do
Search tutorials by free-text query, with optional filters for category, difficulty and maximum duration, returning summaries with TL;DRs and canonical URLs. Fetch a full tutorial by slug, including numbered steps, images, video timestamps, tools and materials, tags, related tutorials, creator credit, recipe details and license. List categories with published tutorial counts, browse tutorials within a category, and list the newest tutorials. Submit a request for a tutorial that does not yet exist, optionally with an email for notification.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to answer craft, papercraft or recipe how-to questions with citable, step-by-step source material, or to surface new and category-based tutorial content. Also suited to agents that want to log content gaps as tutorial requests.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared, and no authentication is declared.
Before you install
The request tool writes into a third-party content-demand queue and can optionally include an email address, so confirm with the user before submitting and before sharing contact details. Tutorial content, images and video links come from the provider's site.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Crafting Step by Step in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.craftingstepbystep%2Ftutorials/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

request_tutorial

Submit a request for a tutorial we don't yet have. Call this when search_tutorials returned no good match for what the user actually wants. The request enters our content-demand queue, which the daily content batch reviews and prioritizes. Optionally include an email for notification when the tutorial ships.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
