Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

practice

get_practice_task

Get one original practice question by ID, with planning guidance for its question type and links to any annotated sample answers. Academic Task 1 visuals are linked as images; do not invent their figures.

search_practice

Search original IELTS-style writing practice questions (Academic Task 1 and 2, General Training Task 1 and 2). Returns task IDs for get_practice_task. Not official exam questions.

analyze

analyze_writing

Count words, sentences and paragraphs in a piece of writing and compare the word count with the IELTS minimum for the task. Runs locally: nothing is saved or sent to an AI. These counts are not a band score.

calculate

calculate_band_score

Calculate the overall IELTS band from Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking bands using the official rounding (averages ending .25 round up to the next half band, .75 to the next whole band). Optionally estimate a Writing band from Task 1 and Task 2 bands (Task 2 counts double; this part is an estimate).

lessons

list_lessons

List the original writing or speaking lessons, or read one lesson in full by ID. Lesson quizzes are study checks, not IELTS scores.

sample

get_sample_answer

Read one original annotated sample answer by ID (from get_practice_task), with paragraph notes and useful vocabulary. Samples show techniques; they are not officially scored scripts.

vocabulary

search_vocabulary

Search original IELTS vocabulary entries with meaning, an example sentence and a usage caution. Use words for their meaning, not as a shortcut to a higher band.

English Test Coach — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can English Test Coach do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyze_writing, calculate_band_score, get_practice_task, get_sample_answer, list_lessons, search_practice and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is English Test Coach working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 524 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect English Test Coach?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does English Test Coach need an API key?

No. English Test Coach completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is English Test Coach?

It answers our handshake in 524 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
