Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for UPSC exam preparation that gives an assistant daily current affairs, quizzes, previous-year questions and cited study-material search.

What you can do
Fetch daily current-affairs concept cards and open the full card behind a headline, with Prelims/Mains relevance and source citations. Start multiple-choice practice quizzes from a validated question bank and submit answers for server-side grading with per-question explanations and an overall score. Retrieve previous-year UPSC Prelims questions with answers and explanations, as a free sample per year. List study topics, subjects, available PYQ years, current-affairs months and paper values. Run semantic search over an indexed UPSC corpus and get source-attributed passages to cite.
When to use it
Useful for candidates preparing for UPSC Prelims and Mains who want an assistant to explain current affairs, run practice quizzes, review previous-year questions, or answer static-syllabus questions from cited sources.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at api.sambodh-ias.in over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. No authentication is declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Quiz answers are graded server-side, and the server asks that correct answers not be revealed before an attempt; the assistant should follow that when running quizzes. Previous-year questions are limited to a free three-question sample per year, with full papers on the platform. Study search returns third-party source passages that should be cited rather than presented as the assistant's own.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Sambodh IAS 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/in.sambodh-ias%2Fupsc-prep/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
