MITPA SE File Server

This is a simple Express.js server that connects to a DigitalOcean Spaces bucket to list and serve PDF files — primarily used to distribute Simulated Exams (SEs) for the MITPA community.

📝 This service provides a user-friendly interface and a JSON API to access available SEs.

⚠️ All SEs are for practice and should not be considered official content.
