**[wilm.ai](https://wilm.ai)** (English and Finnish) · [Set up](#add-wilmai-to-your-assistant) · [WilmAI Home, the desktop app](#wilmai-home-the-desktop-app) · [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)

> **You:** What do the kids have at school tomorrow?
>
> **Your assistant:** Kiia has crafts, geography and math, 8:30–14:00, and her English exam is on Thursday (units 7–9). Eino starts at 9:15 with swimming, so pack a swimsuit and a towel.
>
> **You:** Is there anything I need to do this week?
>
> **Your assistant:** Two things. Eino's trip on Friday needs your permission: return the form by Wednesday. And Kiia's art lesson on Monday is marked as an absence, so explain it in Wilma.

WilmAI connects Wilma, the system Finnish schools use for schedules, homework, exams, grades and messages, to the AI assistant or agent you already use. It's an MCP server, a command-line tool and two agent skills, free and open source. There's also [WilmAI Home](#wilmai-home-the-desktop-app), a desktop app of its own for students and parents.

> **Disclaimer:** This is an independent open-source project by a parent, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Visma or the official Wilma service.

## What you get

- **19 MCP tools.** Summary, schedule, homework, exams, grades and the gradebook, lesson notes and absences, messages with replies, news with attachments, printouts, and a logout. One call covers every child, across every Wilma the family uses.
- **A CLI for people and agents.** Text in a terminal, JSON when a program reads it: the same JSON as the MCP tools. `wilma summary --since yesterday` returns only what's new, for daily runs.
- **It all runs on your computer.** No WilmAI server, no account, no telemetry. It logs in only to your school's Wilma and can't send messages or change anything there. The password goes into a local login page, never into a chat.
- **Agent skills.** `wilma` teaches an agent the tools and commands; `wilma-triage` turns them into a morning briefing that flags what needs doing and puts exams in the family calendar.
- **Any school on Wilma.** The login page finds your school's Wilma by city or school name. Two-step verification and families with several Wilmas work.
- **Students can use it too.** With their own Wilma login, a student asks about their own lessons, homework and exams.

## Try it in one line

```bash
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user wilma -- npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp

# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add aikarjal/wilmai && codex plugin add wilma@wilmai

# Any MCP client
npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp

# Just the terminal (Node.js 20.18 or newer)
npm i -g @wilm-ai/wilma-cli && wilma login && wilma summary
```

Then ask about school. The first time, a login page opens in your browser: pick your school's Wilma and log in. The login is saved on your computer.

## Add WilmAI to your assistant

Step-by-step guides for parents, in English and Finnish: **[wilm.ai](https://wilm.ai/en#quickstart)**.

<a href="https://wilm.ai/en#quickstart"><img src="assets/readme-assistants.png" alt="The assistant picker on wilm.ai: Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Grok Bot, Meta Muse and OpenClaw, and for the terminal Claude Code, Codex and Terminal, with the Claude Desktop guide open: download one file, open it, ask Claude about school." width="100%"></a>

| Assistant | How | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| **Claude Desktop** (Mac, Windows) | Download [`wilmai.mcpb`](https://wilm.ai/get/claude) and open it; Claude asks whether to install it | [wilm.ai#claude](https://wilm.ai/en#claude) |
| **ChatGPT desktop app** (Mac, Windows) | In Work mode (not Chat), send ChatGPT one message and it installs the plugin itself; or add the MCP server `npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp` yourself | [wilm.ai#chatgpt](https://wilm.ai/en#chatgpt) |
| **Grok Bot** | Send one message; the bot installs the CLI and skill itself | [wilm.ai#grok](https://wilm.ai/en#grok) |
| **Meta Muse** (not in Finland yet) | Send one message; Muse installs the CLI and skill itself, and asks you to save your Wilma login in its vault | [wilm.ai#muse](https://wilm.ai/en#muse) |
| **OpenClaw** | Send one message and OpenClaw installs the CLI and the [`wilma`](https://clawhub.ai/aikarjal/skills/wilma) skill; a second one starts a daily briefing with [`wilma-triage`](https://clawhub.ai/aikarjal/skills/wilma-triage) | [wilm.ai#openclaw](https://wilm.ai/en#openclaw) |
| **Claude Code** | `claude mcp add --scope user wilma -- npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp` | [wilm.ai#claude-code](https://wilm.ai/en#claude-code) |
| **Codex** | `codex plugin marketplace add aikarjal/wilmai`, then `codex plugin add wilma@wilmai` | [wilm.ai#codex](https://wilm.ai/en#codex) |
| **Terminal** | `npm i -g @wilm-ai/wilma-cli`, then `wilma login` | [wilm.ai#cli](https://wilm.ai/en#cli) |

Not supported: Claude and ChatGPT on the web and in the phone apps. Your login stays on your own devices and WilmAI runs no server in between; for updates on your phone, use an agent with its own computer, such as OpenClaw or Grok Bot. Not yet available in Finland: Meta Muse (US and Canada so far), Instinct, and OpenAI dots on consumer plans.

## What you can ask

In your own words; every question covers all your children.

- "What do my kids have going on at school this week?"
- "Is there any homework for tomorrow?"
- "Are there any exams coming up? What should she study?"
- "Has any teacher left a note about Eino this month?"
- "Any new messages from school? Read the attached letter too."
- "How did the last exams go? What was on the spring report card?"

Or give an agent a routine: "Every weekday at 7, post a school briefing for both kids to the family channel, and put new exams in the family calendar." The `wilma-triage` skill does exactly that.

## What's inside

- `packages/wilma-client` – TypeScript Wilma client (auth + parsing + tenant list)
- `packages/wilma-cli` – CLI (`wilma`), browser login (`wilma login`), and MCP server (`wilma mcp`)
- `skills/` – Agent skills (`wilma`, `wilma-triage`); also the plugin root for Claude Code and Codex
- `apps/site` – wilm.ai (Next.js, built as static files and served by Cloudflare Workers)
- `apps/home` – WilmAI Home, the desktop app (Tauri), and its eval suite

## Logging in

```bash
wilma login
```

Opens a one-time page on `127.0.0.1` in your browser. Pick your school's Wilma, log in, and the verified login is saved to `~/.config/wilmai/config.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wilmai/config.json`; override with `WILMAI_CONFIG_PATH`). The password is entered on that page — never in an agent's chat.

Children on different Wilmas (say, a city school and a private school or lukio)? Press **Add another Wilma** on the same page, or run `wilma login` again. Every saved login is used together: every command covers all your children. `wilma accounts` lists the saved logins and `wilma accounts remove <number>` removes one.

Wilma allows one session per account: when WilmAI logs in, Wilma logs you out in your browser, and the other way round. WilmAI keeps its session and logs in again only when Wilma has ended it. To use Wilma in the browser, run `wilma logout` or ask your assistant to log out of Wilma (`wilma_logout`). That ends WilmAI's session and keeps the login; the next command or question logs in again.

Without a browser (scripts, agents on cloud computers), first find the Wilma address:

```bash
wilma find-school <city or school>
```

then:

```bash
WILMA_PASSWORD=... wilma login --tenant <city> --username you@example.com
printf '%s' "$PASSWORD" | wilma login --tenant https://<school>.inschool.fi --username you@example.com --password-stdin
```

Or skip the saved login entirely by setting environment variables, e.g. in an agent's secret settings:

| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| `WILMA_TENANT` | Wilma address (`https://<school>.inschool.fi`) or city/school name |
| `WILMA_USERNAME` | Wilma username |
| `WILMA_PASSWORD` | Wilma password |
| `WILMA_TOTP_SECRET` | Authenticator setup key, if the account uses two-step verification |

Running `wilma` without arguments in a terminal opens an interactive menu.

## MCP server

```bash
wilma mcp
```

A stdio MCP server with these tools: `wilma_summary`, `wilma_schedule`, `wilma_homework`, `wilma_upcoming_exams`, `wilma_grades`, `wilma_gradebook`, `wilma_lesson_notes`, `wilma_lesson_notes_summary`, `wilma_list_messages`, `wilma_read_message`, `wilma_list_news`, `wilma_read_news`, `wilma_get_news_attachment`, `wilma_list_printouts`, `wilma_get_printout`, `wilma_account`, `wilma_find_school`, `wilma_login`, `wilma_logout`. They only read from Wilma, except that `wilma_logout` ends WilmAI's Wilma session. Every tool covers all children unless `student` is given, and the JSON is the same as the CLI's. If nobody is logged in, tools open the browser login and tell the assistant what to relay.

Any MCP client can run it with `npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp`. For Claude Code: `claude mcp add --scope user wilma -- npx -y @wilm-ai/wilma-cli@2 mcp` (`--scope user` makes it available in every project).

Build the Claude Desktop extension locally with `pnpm --filter @wilm-ai/wilma-cli build:mcpb` (output: `packages/wilma-cli/build/wilmai.mcpb`). The release workflow attaches it to each GitHub release.

## CLI

```bash
npm i -g @wilm-ai/wilma-cli

wilma summary                 # daily briefing for every child
wilma schedule tomorrow
wilma exams
wilma notes --days 7          # absences and teachers' feedback
wilma messages 27164611       # one message with its replies
wilma news 73291 download 1   # a file linked from a bulletin
wilma help <command>
```

Every command covers all children (`--student` narrows), prints JSON when another program reads it and text in a terminal, and gives times in Finnish time. Commands continue the last Wilma session instead of logging in each time. See the [CLI README](packages/wilma-cli/README.md).

News JSON includes structured `resources` for every link in a bulletin. Any resource can be downloaded with `wilma news <news-id> download <resource-id> --output <directory>`. Wilma-hosted files download through the authenticated session; external URLs are fetched with an isolated, unauthenticated request that never carries Wilma credentials. The CLI does not guess whether a URL is a file — it attempts the download and reports `downloaded` or `not_a_file` (a web page answered, e.g. a sign-in wall).

## WilmAI Home, the desktop app

**School, sorted.** WilmAI Home is a fast, modern Wilma app for students and parents, free and open, now in beta: messages, timetables, homework, exams and grades for every child in one view, a notification when something new needs you, and optional AI that reads each new message and picks out what needs you and by when.

**[Download for Mac or Windows](https://wilm.ai/en/home#download)** · [What it does](https://wilm.ai/en/home) · [Releases](https://github.com/aikarjal/wilmai/releases?q=home-v)

<img src="apps/site/public/home-today-en.png" alt="WilmAI Home's Today with a made-up sample family: each child's school day, what needs you, and this week's exams and events." width="100%">

- **Children at different schools.** When your children's schools are on different Wilmas (another town, an upper secondary school, a private school), sign in to each one, and every view shows all the children together.
- **Reads and writes.** Reply to teachers, write new messages, sign up for parents' evenings and report absences, without opening Wilma. Pin the messages you keep coming back to.
- **In your language.** The app is in English, Finnish or Swedish, and with AI on it translates messages, bulletins and teachers' notes as they arrive, into Finnish, Swedish, English, Ukrainian or Arabic.
- **For a student too.** Sign in with a student's own Wilma account and choose "A student": the app then reads things from the student's side.
- **AI is optional.** No AI (the default), OpenAI with your own API key (usually tens of cents a month; the app stops at a monthly limit you set), or local AI on an Apple Silicon Mac with 16 GB of memory, where nothing goes to an AI service.
- **Stays on your computer.** No WilmAI server and no tracking. Your Wilma password goes only to your school's Wilma; the app keeps it (scrambled) only if you turn on staying signed in.
- **Updates itself.** New versions arrive in the app, signed with the project's update key; you choose when to install them.

Mac (Apple Silicon, macOS 13.3 or later) and Windows 10 or 11. The installers aren't signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so the first start needs one extra step: on a Mac, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (the install window has a link); on Windows, More info → Run anyway. On Windows, notifications and local AI aren't there yet.

The source is in [`apps/home`](apps/home) (Tauri, React and Rust), with its own README for building and the eval suite that measures how well the AI reads school messages.

## Troubleshooting

### `fetch failed` on a managed or corporate laptop

If any command fails with a TLS certificate error, your network is very likely
intercepting TLS ("break-and-inspect") and re-signing certificates with a private
root CA — standard on devices behind a corporate secure web gateway. Node ships its
own CA bundle and ignores the operating system trust store, so a root your browser
already trusts is invisible to Node.

The CLI reports the underlying cause code (for example
`UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY`) and the fix. In order of preference:

```bash
# 1. Node >=22.19 / >=24.6
NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 wilma summary

# 2. Node >=22.15 (the flag has wider version support than the env var)
node --use-system-ca "$(command -v wilma)" summary

# 3. Point Node at the proxy root explicitly
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/to/root-ca.pem wilma summary
```

Never set `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0`. It disables certificate verification
entirely, on a network that is already inspecting your traffic.

Two things that make this hard to recognise:

- **A working `npm install` proves nothing.** Inspection policies commonly exempt
  `registry.npmjs.org`, so installing the CLI succeeds while every Wilma request
  fails.
- **`curl` and your browser work fine**, because they use the OS trust store. Only
  Node is affected, which makes the network look healthy.

## Credentials & Privacy

Your Wilma login is stored locally in `~/.config/wilmai/config.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wilmai/config.json`), readable only by your user account. The password is obfuscated (not encrypted) for convenience — this is a personal productivity tool, not a vault. The current Wilma session is kept next to it (`wilmai-sessions.json`, same protection, at most 6 hours) so commands don't log in each time; set `WILMAI_NO_SESSION_CACHE=1` to turn that off. `wilma logout` ends the session in Wilma and removes it, keeping the login; `wilma config clear` removes both.

The CLI, the MCP server and the Claude Desktop extension have no server behind them: they log in only to your school's Wilma. Besides Wilma, they open links from school bulletins when you ask for an attachment (only public websites, never with your Wilma login), and once a day they ask npm whether a newer version is out (not when started through `npx`, which fetches the newest version itself; `WILMAI_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` turns it off). When an AI assistant uses WilmAI, the school information it reads goes to that assistant's provider, the same as pasting it into a chat; your password does not.

**Do not share your config file.** It accesses the same data as the official Wilma app or website; it is your responsibility to handle that data appropriately.
