Advent of Code MCP Server

MCP server to interact with the Advent of Code website.

This project is developed for educational purposes. The server aims to simplify interactions with the Advent of Code website and enhance the puzzle-solving workflow.

However, building a self-submitting app around solutions will likely be the most efficient approach.
