OA-Y MCP Service
MCP for managing courses via HTTP API at oa-y.com.
Integration as MCP Server
This service supports two transport protocols for MCP integration: STDIO and StreamableHTTP.
Mode 1: STDIO (Local/Command Line)
For local integration with Cursor, Claude Desktop, or other MCP clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"oa-y-mcp-service": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:AdminRHS/oa-y-mcp-service"],
"env": {
"APP_ENV": "prod",
"API_TOKEN": "your_token",
"API_TOKEN_LIBS": "your_libs_token"
}
}
}
}Mode 2: StreamableHTTP (Remote/HTTP)
For remote integration via StreamableHTTP:
{
"mcpServers": {
"oa-y-remote": {
"url": "http://your-server:3000/mcp?API_TOKEN=your_token&API_TOKEN_LIBS=your_libs_token&APP_ENV=prod"
}
}
}When to use each transport:
STDIO (stdin/stdout, Desktop‑first): Ideal for Desktop apps and local IDE integrations (Cursor, Claude Desktop).
StreamableHTTP (/mcp, Browser/Agents‑first): Best for AI agents and browser/cloud clients (including proxies/tunnels).
API_TOKEN
How to get your API_TOKEN:
Go to https://oa-y.com and log in as an admin.
Open the Admin Panel and go to the API Tokens tab.
Click Create Token, enter a name, and create the token.
Copy the generated token and use it as the
API_TOKENenvironment variable.
API_TOKEN_LIBS
How to get your API_TOKEN_LIBS:
Go to https://libs.anyemp.com and log in as an admin.
Open the Admin Panel and go to the API Tokens tab.
Click Create Token, enter a name (e.g., "Libs API"), and create the token.
Copy the generated token and use it as the
API_TOKEN_LIBSenvironment variable.

Creation Order
IMPORTANT: Follow the correct sequential creation order for courses, modules, lessons, and tests.
Sequential workflow:
CREATE COURSE:
Use
create_courseto create the course structureCan start with empty modules array, will be updated later
CREATE MODULE (at least one module required):
Use
create_moduleto create a moduleCan start with empty lessons array
Get module ID from the response
CREATE FIRST LESSON (at least one lesson per module required):
Use
create_lessonto create a lessonGet lesson ID from the response
CREATE TEST FOR LESSON (optional):
Use
create_testwith the lesson ID to attach test to this lessonIMPORTANT: Tests are attached to lessons, not modules
Get test ID from the response
UPDATE LESSON WITH TEST (if test was created):
Use
update_lessonto add test IDs to the lesson's tests array
CREATE NEXT LESSON (repeat steps 3-5):
Create another lesson for the same module
Create tests for it
Update lesson with test IDs
Repeat until all lessons for this module are created
UPDATE MODULE WITH ALL LESSON IDS:
Use
update_moduleto add all created lesson IDs to the moduleExample:
lessons: ["lesson_id_1", "lesson_id_2", "lesson_id_3"]
CREATE NEXT MODULE (repeat steps 2-7):
Create next module
Create lessons for it
Create tests for lessons
Update lessons and module
Repeat until all modules are created
UPDATE COURSE WITH ALL MODULE IDS:
Use
update_courseto add all module IDs with their orderExample:
modules: [{ module: "module_id_1", order: 1 }, { module: "module_id_2", order: 2 }]
Required structure:
Course must contain at least one module
Module must contain at least one lesson
Tests are optional but attached to lessons (not modules)
Each module has ordered lessons
Each course has ordered modules

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Tool has no description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Tool has no description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has no description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has no description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 19 tools
Most tools are clearly distinguished by entity and action, with predictable pairs like get_course/get_courses and create_lesson/update_lesson. The lack of descriptions creates some ambiguity around closely named resources, but the naming is distinct enough for an agent to select correctly.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using get_, create_, and update_ prefixes. The use of singular nouns for mutations and plural or singular nouns for reads is predictable and uniform across the entire set.
At 19 tools, the server is within the borderline-heavy range for a content-management domain. The count is manageable but slightly above the ideal 3-15 scope, suggesting some consolidation might improve focus.
Core entities like courses, lessons, modules, and tests have get/create/update operations, but no delete operations exist for any mutable resource. Professions, skills, and tools are read-only, which may be intentional but leaves the overall lifecycle incomplete.
