Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only remote MCP server that gives an assistant IELTS Writing Task 2 sample essays, Speaking Part 2 cue cards and writing band descriptors.

What you can do
  • List and read IELTS Writing Task 2 sample answers, with prompt, source paper, reference band, word count and full essay text
  • List IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card topics with prompts, points to cover and related Part 3 questions, in English or Chinese
  • Retrieve the four IELTS Writing assessment criteria, Task 1 versus Task 2 differences and plain-language Band 5 to Band 8 summaries
When to use it
Useful when studying for IELTS and you want an assistant to pull model essays, speaking cue cards or band descriptors to explain scoring, draft feedback or build a study plan. It is a small, read-only reference source rather than a full course platform.
Requirements
A remote streamable-HTTP endpoint; no API key, account or install step is needed. The client must be able to reach the hosted endpoint over the network.
Before you install
Read-only and anonymous, with no credentials requested. Content is limited to public sample material from one provider, so treat it as study reference rather than official IELTS guidance.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open YoushowIELTS MCP 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/io.github.rico-c%2Fyoushow-ielts/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.
