Student MCP Server

A powerful tool for retrieving comprehensive, structured information about specific educational entities, providing context-rich details tailored to academic needs.

When to use this tool:

• Retrieving detailed information about courses, assignments, exams, and academic concepts
• Exploring course materials, lecture schedules, and assignment deadlines
• Preparing for upcoming exams by identifying key concepts and resources
• Tracking assignment status and due dates
• Understanding relationships between academic concepts
• Examining course structures and learning resources
• Planning study sessions around specific courses or topics
• Reviewing term schedules and upcoming deadlines
• Organizing academic resources by courses and concepts
• Establishing context for effective learning and study planning
• Viewing entity status information (not_started, in_progress, complete)
• Checking priority levels for assignments and tasks
• Understanding sequential relationships between academic entities

Key features:

• Provides richly formatted, context-aware information about educational entities
• Adapts output format based on entity type (course, assignment, exam, concept, term)
• Presents both direct entity information and related academic elements
• Shows time-sensitive information like due dates and exam schedules
• Tracks loaded entities within the current session for continuity
• Formats information in a clean, readable markdown structure
• Automatically identifies relationships between academic entities
• Displays status information via has_status relations
• Shows priority levels via has_priority relations
• Presents sequential relationships through follows relations
• Highlights status of assignments and upcoming deadlines
• Shows progress metrics for courses and assignment completion

Parameters explained:

1. entityName: Required - The name of the entity to retrieve context for

• Example: "Introduction to Computer Science", "Midterm Paper", "Binary Trees"

2. entityType: Optional - The type of entity being retrieved

• Default: "course"
• Accepts values from valid entity types for the student domain
• Helps the system format the output appropriately

3. sessionId: Optional - The current session identifier

• Typically provided by startsession
• Used for tracking entity views within the session

Each entity type returns specialized context information:

• Course: Shows code, status (via has_status), schedule, location, description, professor information, lectures, assignments (with status and priority), exams, key concepts, and resources
• Assignment: Displays course, status (not_started, in_progress, complete), priority (low, high), due date, points, time remaining, instructions, related concepts, helpful resources, and your notes
• Exam: Shows course, date, time remaining, location, format, duration, concepts to study, key lectures, and study resources
• Concept: Displays difficulty level, description, related concepts (including sequential relationships), courses covering this concept, and learning resources
• Term: Shows start date, end date, status, courses for the term (with completion percentages), and upcoming deadlines
• Other Entity Types: Shows observations and both incoming and outgoing relationships within the knowledge graph

Status and Priority:

• All entities include status values (not_started, in_progress, complete) retrieved via has_status relations
• Relevant entities include priority values (low, high) retrieved via has_priority relations
• Status information is used to calculate completion percentages and filter assignments
• Priority information helps identify important tasks and assignments

Sequential Relationships:

• Related entities may have follows relationships indicating recommended sequence
• Course view shows sequenced lectures and assignments
• Concept view shows prerequisite relationships between concepts

Return information:

• Formatted markdown text with hierarchical structure
• Sections adapted to the specific entity type
• Related entities shown with their status, priority, and descriptions
• Error messages if the entity doesn't exist or can't be retrieved

You should:

• Specify the exact entity name for accurate retrieval
• Provide the entity type when possible for optimally formatted results
• Start with course entities to get a high-level overview of academic materials
• Use assignment context to track deadlines and submission status
• Prepare for exams by examining exam context for study resources
• Explore concept context to understand relationships between academic topics
• Review term context to plan your academic schedule
• Pay attention to status values to identify incomplete assignments
• Consider priority information when planning your study schedule
• Follow sequential relationships to create effective learning paths
• After retrieving context, follow up on specific entities of interest
• Use in conjunction with startsession to maintain session tracking
• Combine with endsession to document your learning progress
• Remember that this tool only retrieves existing information; use buildcontext to add new entities
