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.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@UAAR University MCP ServerCheck the latest merit list for the Computer Science department"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
