I’ve released eve-mentor-mcp, an MIT-licensed MCP server aimed at the new-player and returning-player learning problem rather than at veterans. It gives Claude (or any MCP client) live EVE data with judgment baked in.

26 tools so far:

- Loss analysis with full fit detail (zKillboard + ESI killmails)
- Recursive skill-prerequisite planning, diffed against your character
- Whole-fit readiness from a pasted EFT fit
- Proven fits mined from recent killmails
- A 15-path career “sorting hat”
- Mechanical fit checking (mixed weapons / mixed tank / missing propulsion)
- NPC damage-type matching
- ISK guidance by skillpoint tier
- “What should I do tonight?” composed from your real ship, wallet, location, and skills
- Per-jump route danger with named gank chokepoints
- Trade-hub price comparison
- Corp newbie-friendliness checks
- A returning-player “what’s happening” briefing
- Pilot memory across sessions
- Slang glossary, live PLEX/Omega economics, system danger intel, Jita pricing
- An asset sweep that flags asset-safety wraps and inaccessible structures

Technical notes: TypeScript, ESI with error-budget guarding and Expires-based caching, identifying User-Agent, EVE SSO via PKCE (no secret stored, read-only scopes only), tokens in a 0600 file. The repo includes a research-backed roadmap; remote hosting for the public-data tools is planned.

Feedback from this community would be very welcome, particularly on ESI etiquette and on what guidance is appropriate to give brand-new players.
