get_subject_masterLABSCO SUMMARY
Ids first, then the search — and the master tools give you the ids.
The search takes numeric subject, grade and feature ids rather than names, which would normally mean digging through a site to find them; the three master tools are what make it usable from a conversation. Sorting by rating or lesson count is where the real filtering happens once a search returns more tutors than anyone wants to read.
What it is
A Node MCP server for Manalink, an online tutoring platform. It exposes the master lists you need to build a search, plus the search itself.
What you get
