MCP Server: ai.tutorping/tutorping

The ai.tutorping/tutorping MCP server enables workflows for finding and booking independent tutors or for locating students seeking a tutor in a given subject. It centers on connecting tutor availability with learners’ requests, based on subject-related matching.

🛠️ Key Features

Find independent tutors
Book independent tutors
Find students requesting a tutor in a subject

🚀 Use Cases

Learners searching for a tutor in a specific subject
Tutors or tutor providers booking sessions through subject demand

⚡ Developer Benefits

Clear subject-driven pairing between tutors and students
Supports both sides of the tutoring market (tutor discovery/booking and student discovery)

⚠️ Limitations

No tool count, topics, or extended readme content provided in the available source data, so capabilities beyond tutor/student matching and booking cannot be confirmed.

Captured live from the server via tools/list.

search_tutors

Find independent tutors on TutorPing by subject, student level, and location. Returns tutors with a public page (subject, level, location, rate, reviews, page link, whether they can be booked directly), how many matching tutors TutorPing has in total with their profiles minus names (request_tutor matches the student with one, optionally a chosen tutorRef), and free TutorPing AI Tutors for the subject (clearly AI, not people; a chat link for help right now). Use for students or parents looking for a tutor (SAT/ACT, math, science, languages, music, and more). If no listed tutor fits, use request_tutor and TutorPing will match one. Always tell the user that an AI tutor is AI.

request_tutor
