About this project
One of the biggest challenges students face during hackathons is forming the right team. Most teams are formed based on friendship or random selection, which often leads to everyone having similar skills while important skills like backend, UI/UX, or DevOps are missing. Beginners also struggle to find where they fit, and organizers spend a lot of time helping students find teammates. This is the gap our project addresses. Our solution is the AI Hackathon Team Builder, an AI assistant that helps students form balanced and compatible hackathon teams. Students first register by entering their skills, interests, experience level, and availability. When a student asks the AI to find a team, the AI uses an MCP server to securely communicate with the backend. The MCP server searches real student data, calculates compatibility, identifies missing skills, assigns roles based on strengths, and even generates a task plan for the team. As a result, students get balanced teams instead of random ones, organizers save time, and every team starts with clear roles and a proper execution plan. In short, our project makes hackathon team formation smarter, faster, and more effective by combining AI with real backend tools through MCP. Thank you.
