Fiveable for AP Students

io.github.thinkfiveablePublished by GitHub account thinkfiveablev1.0.0Updated Oct 25, 2026

AP study content, practice, FRQ feedback, progress, plans, and student tools for AI apps.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted Fiveable connector that gives an AI assistant AP study guides, practice questions, FRQ scoring, score calculators and the student's own progress.

What you can do
Browse AP subjects, unit outlines, study guides, key terms and cheatsheet PDFs, and search across all content by keyword or passage retrieval. Generate multiple-choice practice questions, run adaptive diagnostics, check answers and predict a 1-5 AP score from section scores. List and score free-response prompts, including the student's own outside responses, and read saved scoring results. Read the signed-in student's progress, practice history, FRQ attempts, completed exam results and assignment summaries. Create and update study plans, open a guided practice panel, and report content issues to Fiveable support.
When to use it
Useful for AP students who want an assistant to explain or review course material, drill practice questions, get FRQ feedback, and track weak units and study plans in one place. Anonymous previews work for casual review; sign in when saved progress and personal data matter.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint added to an MCP client; nothing to install and no API key. Public discovery and limited content previews work without an account. Personal progress and saved actions need Fiveable OAuth sign-in.
Before you install
Full study guides, passages and FRQ prompts consume limited previews unless the account has access. Signed-in tools read the student's own progress, attempts and assignment data, and some tools write: answers, diagnostics, study plans, task completion and content issue reports. Content issue reports go to Fiveable support and require explicit confirmation. Teacher rosters and answer keys are not exposed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Fiveable for AP Students 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.thinkfiveable%2Ffiveable-ap-students/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.

README

Fiveable for AP Students

Use Fiveable's AP study content and student study tools inside MCP-compatible AI apps.

Teacher connector

Looking for grading and class prep? Fiveable for AP Teachers is a separate connector with its own endpoint and OAuth consent. The root extension and configuration in this repository remain student-only.

Connect

Add this remote Streamable HTTP endpoint to your MCP client:

text
https://fiveable.me/api/mcp

There is no package to install and no API key to copy. Public discovery and limited content previews work without a Fiveable account. Personal progress and saved actions use Fiveable OAuth.

Cursor

This repository includes a Cursor plugin manifest and an mcp.json configuration for the hosted Fiveable server. In Cursor, open Customize → MCPs, add a remote server, and use:

text
https://fiveable.me/api/mcp

Cursor will open Fiveable's OAuth flow when a personalized tool needs account access.

Gemini CLI

Install this repository as a Gemini CLI extension:

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/thinkfiveable/fiveable-mcp

Gemini CLI connects to the hosted Fiveable MCP through the extension. Run /mcp auth fiveable-ap-students to connect a Fiveable account for personalized tools.

What it supports

  • AP subjects, units, study guides, key terms, and relevant passages
  • Multiple-choice practice and adaptive diagnostics
  • Fiveable and student-supplied FRQ scoring
  • AP score calculators
  • Personal progress, study plans, and completed exam results
  • Official Fiveable cheatsheets
  • Student-accessible assignment summaries with released feedback

The connector is student-only. It does not expose teacher rosters, active answer keys, internal moderation tools, or another student's data.

Documentation and support

Security

Fiveable uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for connected tools. Please report security issues through Fiveable's published security contact rather than a public GitHub issue.

This repository contains public metadata and documentation for the hosted service. The production server implementation lives in Fiveable's private application repository.

list_subjects

List AP subjects

Lists every AP subject Fiveable covers, with its canonical subject slug and flags for which features exist for that subject (practice questions, key terms, score calculator). Suitable when a subject slug is not already known. Cheap — roughly 1-2k tokens.

Parametersintentsearch

get_subject_outline

Get subject outline

Returns the full unit and topic outline for one AP subject, including every study guide slug in each unit. Provides the course map for study planning and individual guide retrieval. Moderate cost — roughly 2-5k tokens depending on subject size.

ParametersintentsubjectSlugrequired

get_study_guide

Get a study guide

Returns the full text of one Fiveable AP study guide as Markdown. Accepts the exact canonical guide reference or a close approximation of its title. Suitable when a student asks to learn or review a topic. It consumes one full-content preview for a caller unless existing access covers this subject and feature. Expensive — a full guide can be 3-8k tokens.

ParametersintentguideSlugrequiredsubjectSlugrequired

get_unit_overview

Get unit overview

Returns the overview page for one unit of an AP course: what it covers, how it is weighted on the exam, its topics and study plan. Suitable when a student is reviewing a whole unit. Moderate cost — roughly 1-3k tokens.

ParametersintentunitSlugrequiredsubjectSlugrequired

list_key_terms

List key terms

Lists the key vocabulary terms for an AP subject, paginated alphabetically. Suitable for building flashcards or checking what vocabulary a student should know; results include stable term slugs for full definitions. Cheap.

ParameterspagerequiredlimitrequiredintentletterrequiredsubjectSlugrequired

get_key_term

Get a key term

Returns the full definition, context and related terms for one AP key term. Use when a student asks "what does X mean" for AP vocabulary. Cheap — usually under 1k tokens.

ParametersintenttermSlugrequiredsubjectSlugrequired

search_content

Search Fiveable content

Keyword search across every Fiveable study guide, unit, subject hub and key term. Suitable when the relevant subject or guide is not known. Returns titles and canonical references rather than full content, so it is cheap.

ParameterslimitrequiredqueryrequiredintentsubjectSlug

get_content_sections

Get relevant study guide sections

Returns a small set of Fiveable study-guide passages relevant to one question. Suitable for narrow explanations, research questions and checking student notes. One call consumes one full-content preview for a caller without existing access.

ParametersqueryrequiredintentguideSlugsubjectSlugrequiredmaximumTokensrequiredmaximumSectionsrequired

list_frqs

List free-response questions

Lists Fiveable's free-response (FRQ) practice prompts for an AP subject, optionally filtered by FRQ type, unit, and excluded IDs. Results use stable ID order; unchanged filters continue pagination. Returns prompt ids and summaries rather than full prompts. Cheap.

ParameterslimitrequiredcursorintentunitIdfrqTypeexcludeIdssubjectSlugrequiredcourseVariant

get_frq

Get a free-response question

Returns one full, original Fiveable FRQ prompt: stimulus, background and every lettered part with its point value. The returned prompt is eligible for Fiveable's saved scoring workflow after the student writes a response. It consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this FRQ. Moderate cost — 1-4k tokens.

ParametersfrqIdrequiredintent

get_practice_questions

Get multiple-choice practice questions

Returns original, course-specific multiple-choice practice questions. Free-text topics are matched against Fiveable's course map, so natural phrasing works. Omit topic to get balanced practice across the whole subject, with varied units, skills and stimulus formats. For history, science and language subjects this can return source-based sets — one stimulus with several questions off it — and stimulus images come back as viewable images. This is targeted or mixed practice, distinct from Fiveable's durable adaptive diagnostic. Every question carries a `Question id` that supports a saved answer submission for student progress. The recentCorrect and recentAnswered inputs allow the tool to drop to easier question types when a student is missing questions, helping find where understanding breaks down. A returned question set consumes one full-content preview unless existing access covers this practice feature. Moderate cost — roughly 300 tokens per question, more when images are attached.

calculate_ap_score

Predict an AP score

Predicts a 1-5 AP score from raw section scores using Fiveable's per-subject score calculator, and explains the weighting. Call with no sectionScores to see which sections the subject has and their point maximums, then call again with the student's scores. Cheap.

ParametersintentsubjectSlugrequiredsectionScores

check_practice_answer

Check a practice answer

Checks one multiple-choice practice answer and returns correctness plus the Fiveable explanation. Works during an anonymous preview but does not save progress. A signed-in answer submission is required for saved progress.

ParametersanswerrequiredintentquestionIdrequired

get_my_study_progress

Get my study progress

Returns the signed-in student's durable Fiveable progress for one subject: multiple-choice accuracy, weak topics and units, FRQ performance, skill groups and recent activity, respecting the website progress reset. Also includes completed exams, plus assignment and study-plan summaries when their separate permissions are granted. Call this before choosing what to explain or practice so recommendations carry across conversations and AI clients.

ParametersintentsubjectSlugrequired

score_external_frq_response

Score an uploaded or pasted FRQ

Scores a student's existing FRQ even when it did not come from Fiveable. If the student attached photos, the host AI must first transcribe the prompt and response, show the transcription for confirmation, then call this tool. Optional prompt images preserve graphs or artwork that text alone cannot represent. Fiveable scores it on the AP rubric for its exact question type, out of that type's AP point total. Requires sign-in; one scoring preview is included without a plan, with further scoring available to eligible accounts. The attempt is saved to the student's Fiveable progress. Returns a pending scoring job; poll get_scoring_result. Reuse requestId for retries.
