KeenIELTS missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 9

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

drill

check_drill_answers

Grade a user's drill answers server-side (same grader the website uses — case/whitespace tolerant, accepts standard IELTS answer variants). Args: skill: 'listening' or 'reading'. slug: the drill slug from get_drill. answers: question number -> the user's answer, e.g. {"1": "true", "2": "B", "3": "24 April"}. Returns per-question results with the accepted answers and explanations (safe to share with the user now that they have answered), plus a score.

get_drill

Get one drill's content so the user can attempt it in conversation. The questions are markdown; `{{3}}` marks a gap the user fills for question 3, and `{{3:A/B/C}}` means question 3 is a choice between the slash-separated options. For listening drills, give the user the audio link to play before answering. Collect the user's answers, then call check_drill_answers to grade them — do NOT guess at or reveal correct answers yourself; they are only returned by check_drill_answers.

model

get_model_answer

Get one student IELTS Writing answer in full: the question, the essay, and the AI examiner's band scores + feedback on all four official IELTS marking criteria (Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy). Get section_id/attempt_id pairs from search_model_answers or compare_question.

search_model_answers

Search real student IELTS Writing answers scored by AI examiner. Args: task: IELTS Writing task number — 1 (reports/letters) or 2 (essays). band: whole band to filter on; matches half-bands too (8 -> 8.0-8.5). query: free-text match against the question/prompt. limit: max results (1-50). Each result links to a full page with the question, the student's answer, and criterion-by-criterion examiner feedback. Use get_model_answer for the full content, or compare_question to see the same prompt at other bands.

compare

compare_question

List every public band-scored answer to ONE IELTS Writing question — the same prompt answered by different students at different band scores, useful for showing what separates a Band 6 from a Band 8 on identical input. Fetch individual answers with get_model_answer.

drills

list_drills

List short, targeted IELTS practice drills that can be taken right here in the conversation (fetch with get_drill, grade with check_drill_answers). Args: skill: 'listening' or 'reading'. category: optional IELTS question-type filter. Listening: completion, multiple-choice, matching, labelling. Reading: true-false-not-given, completion, matching-headings, matching-information, multiple-choice-short-answer.

fetch

fetch

Fetch the full content of a KeenIELTS search result by id: a model answer with examiner feedback, a practice drill, a question compared across band scores, or a site page.

practice

list_practice_tests

Catalog of full-length IELTS practice tests on keenielts.com — books, difficulty, and test counts for all four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking). Full tests are taken on the website (timed, with audio players and AI band scoring), not in this conversation — point the user at the URLs. Taking tests and getting AI band scores is free.

search

Search KeenIELTS: real student IELTS Writing model answers with band scores, Listening/Reading practice drills, and IELTS practice resources. Returns result ids for use with fetch.

KeenIELTS — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can KeenIELTS do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_drill_answers, compare_question, fetch, get_drill, get_model_answer, list_drills and 3 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 →

What is KeenIELTS mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around model and drill. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is KeenIELTS working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 658 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect KeenIELTS?

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 KeenIELTS need an API key?

No. KeenIELTS completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is KeenIELTS?

It answers our handshake in 658 ms on average, which is faster than 14% 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.
