What can you do with this server?

The UAAR University MCP Server provides Claude AI agents with structured access to PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi's academic ecosystem through 53 specialized tools. Academic Operations: Search courses by name or code, list departments with faculty, view merit lists, access class schedules (by day, course code, or today's classes), check exam schedules, view student results and CGPA, calculate GPA from grades, and request transcript information. Admission Management: Check admission status via CNIC, start and fill multi-step admission forms, preview and submit applications, view available programs with admission requirements, and access fee structures. Library Services: Search books by title, author, ISBN, or category, check availability and copy counts, view borrowed books for students, and get operating hours. Hostel Management: Check room availability by type and hostel name, view mess menus by day, access fee structures and payment details, and review hostel rules. Transportation Services: Get bus routes with schedules and fares, find bus stops near locations, search routes by stop name, and obtain transport card information. Scholarships & Financial Aid: List available scholarships with filtering, check eligibility based on CGPA and income, get detailed scholarship information including deadlines, and access Financial Aid Office contacts. Faculty & Staff Services: Search faculty by name or research interests, get user profiles for students/faculty/admins, access department contact information with hours and locations, and retrieve emergency contacts. News & Events: Access latest news and announcements by category, list upcoming events with dates and locations. Administrative Tools (Admin Only): Add new departments, courses, faculty members, events, news items, library books, and scholarship opportunities. Support Services: Submit help tickets for IT and administrative issues, get university information and important links. Security Features: JWT authentication with role-based access control (student, faculty, admin), operation annotations (read-only, idempotent, destructive), and audit logging for AI interactions. Supports multiple transport modes including Stdio for Claude CLI and HTTP/SSE for web API.

🎯 Real-World Use Cases

Case Study 1: Automated Admission Assistance

Scenario: Prospective student queries about admission process

# AI Agent Conversation Flow User: "I want to apply for Computer Science admission" Agent: Uses `check_admission_status()` → "Admissions open" Agent: Uses `start_admission_form()` → Creates APP-2026-00001 Agent: Guides through `fill_admission_field()` step-by-step Agent: Uses `preview_admission_form()` → Shows application summary Agent: Uses `confirm_and_submit_admission_form()` → Submission complete

Case Study 2: Student Academic Support

Scenario: Current student needs academic information

User: "What's my GPA and available scholarships?" Agent: Uses `get_cgpa(student_id)` → "Your CGPA is 3.75" Agent: Uses `list_scholarships()` → Lists 15 available scholarships Agent: Uses `check_scholarship_eligibility()` → "You qualify for 5 scholarships" Agent: Uses `get_class_schedule()` → "Your Monday classes: CS301, MA202"

Case Study 3: Faculty & Administrative Tasks

Scenario: Faculty member needs department information

User: "Who are the CS department faculty and their research areas?" Agent: Uses `search_faculty("Computer Science")` → Lists 12 faculty members Agent: Uses `get_department_contact()` → Provides department contact info Agent: Uses `list_upcoming_events()` → Shows department seminars

Example Tool Implementation:

@mcp.tool( name="search_courses", annotations={ "readOnlyHint": True, "destructiveHint": False, "idempotentHint": True, "openWorldHint": False } ) async def search_courses(query: str) -> Dict: """ Search university courses by name or code. Args: query: Search term (course name or code) Returns: List of matching courses with details Example: "Find computer science courses" → List of CS courses """ results = query_db( "SELECT * FROM courses WHERE title LIKE ? OR code LIKE ?", [f"%{query}%", f"%{query}%"] ) return { "data": results, "count": len(results), "message": f"Found {len(results)} courses matching '{query}'" }

Running Tests

# Test the server python -m server.main & SERVER_PID=$! # Test API endpoints curl http://localhost:8000/token -X POST -d "username=admin&password=admin" # Use token for protected routes kill $SERVER_PID # Test CLI mode python -m server.cli # Use MCP client to test tools

📈 Performance & Scaling

Current Metrics
