How to Set Up and Use Activity Reporting
The Advocu MCP Server enables Google Developer Experts (GDEs) and Microsoft MVPs to report their developer activities — talks, blog posts, videos, workshops, mentoring sessions, and more — through a conversational AI interface by connecting to the Advocu and Microsoft MVP APIs. Instead of navigating complex web dashboards, program members can describe their activities in natural language and have Claude submit them on their behalf. The server supports both Google GDE (via Advocu API) and Microsoft MVP program reporting in a single integration.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed
- An Advocu access token (ADVOCU_ACCESS_TOKEN) from the Advocu Developer Portal for GDE reporting
- A Microsoft MVP bearer token (MVP_ACCESS_TOKEN) and profile ID (MVP_USER_PROFILE_ID) for MVP reporting
- An absolute path to a local docs directory (DOCS_DIR) for documentation access
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Install the server globally
Install the advocu-mcp-server package globally via npm so it can be invoked by your MCP client.
npm install -g advocu-mcp-serverObtain your Advocu access token
Log into the Advocu Developer Portal at advocu.com and navigate to API settings to generate your access token.
Obtain your Microsoft MVP token (if applicable)
Run the token capture utility to open your browser and capture the MVP bearer token from the DevTools Network tab.
# From the cloned repo directory
npm run capture-mvp-tokenCreate your docs directory
Create the local directory that will be referenced by DOCS_DIR for documentation access.
mkdir -p /Users/yourname/advocu-docsConfigure Claude Desktop
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file with your API tokens and docs directory path.

Example prompts for submitting GDE and MVP activities through natural language.
- "Submit my YouTube talk to the GDE program: Title: Building with MCP, Published: 2025-11-10, URL: https://youtube.com/watch?v=example, Views: 3200"
- "Report a speaking engagement for my Microsoft MVP profile: I gave a talk at Node.js Berlin on October 15, 2025 with 120 attendees"
- "Submit a blog post activity to GDE: Title: Getting Started with Model Context Protocol, URL: https://myblog.com/mcp-guide, Published: December 1, 2025"
- "What documentation is available for the Advocu API?"
- "Report a mentoring session to GDE: I mentored 3 developers on React for 2 hours on 2025-11-20"Troubleshooting Activity Reporting
GDE activity submissions return 401 Unauthorized
Your ADVOCU_ACCESS_TOKEN may have expired. Generate a new token from the Advocu Developer Portal at advocu.com and update it in your Claude Desktop config.
MVP token capture script opens a browser but no token appears
Open DevTools in the browser window (F12), go to the Network tab, filter by 'XHR', complete the MVP login flow, and look for requests to graph.microsoft.com. Copy the Bearer token value from the Authorization header of one of those requests.
DOCS_DIR-related tools fail with 'directory not found'
Ensure DOCS_DIR is set to an absolute path (starting with /) that actually exists on your filesystem. Create the directory if it does not exist with 'mkdir -p /your/docs/path'.
