MCP server for generating Learning Hour content and Miro boards for Technical Coaches
Learning Hour MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for generating Learning Hour content and Miro boards for Technical Coaches.
Generate Learning Hour content for Technical Coaches using AI. Create structured practice sessions that help development teams master technical excellence through the 4C Learning Model.
An MCP server that helps Technical Coaches run Learning Hours - structured 60-minute practice sessions where teams improve their coding skills through deliberate practice. It generates session plans, code examples, and can even create interactive Miro boards.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Once Learning Hour MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverVSCode — The VSCode tool exposed by this serverCursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this servergenerate_session — Generate a complete Learning Hour session plan with activities following the 4C model (Connect, Concept, Concrete, Conclusion)generate_code_example — The generate_code_example tool exposed by this servercreate_miro_board — Create a new Miro board or add frames to an existing board (requires MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN)list_miro_boards — List all Miro boards accessible with your token (requires MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN)get_miro_board — Get details about a specific Miro board (requires MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN)delete_miro_board — Delete a Miro board (requires MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN). Use with caution!analyze_repository — Find real code examples in GitHub repositories (requires GITHUB_TOKEN)analyze_tech_stack — Analyze a repository's technology stack to create team-specific content (requires GITHUB_TOKEN)You will need 3 environment variables: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Learning Hour MCP's toolset — Prerequisites, VSCode, Cursor and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by SDiamante13; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
