🧠 Trivia Quiz MCP Server for Kiro

A custom MCP server that connects Kiro to the Open Trivia Database (https://opentdb.com/) — giving Kiro the ability to fetch real quiz questions, categories, and stats to build interactive quiz applications.

🔌 What It Connects To

Open Trivia Database (opentdb.com) — a free, real API with 4,000+ trivia questions across 24 categories. No API key required.

🛠️ Tools

Tool	Description
get_trivia_questions	Fetch random trivia questions by difficulty (easy/medium/hard)
list_trivia_categories	List all 24 available quiz categories
get_category_stats	Get question count stats per category

🎯 What I Built With It

An interactive HTML trivia quiz app that Kiro builds using real data from the MCP server — fetching live questions, showing multiple choice options, tracking score, and displaying results. This is only possible because of the MCP integration — without it, Kiro has no access to trivia data.
