WindowsForum MCP Server
Connects your AI assistant directly to WindowsForum.com's database and search infrastructure. You get 15+ tools including semantic search across threads and posts, real-time forum statistics, user lookups, and direct access to Windows KB articles. The search operations hit both MySQL and Elasticsearch endpoints, so you can pull exact thread content or run fuzzy queries across the entire forum. Useful when you need to reference community solutions for Windows issues, check what's trending in the forums, or pull KB documentation without leaving your editor. Built with FastMCP and exposes everything through a single SSE endpoint at mcp.windowsforum.com.
