Overview

What is Education Data MCP Server?

The server provides access to the Urban Institute’s Education Data API via the Model Context Protocol. It is designed for use with Claude to enable easy retrieval of detailed and aggregated education data from multiple levels (schools, school-districts, college-university), sources (CCD, IPEDS, CRDC), and topics (enrollment, directory, finance).

How to use Education Data MCP Server?

Install the npm package, build it, and link it, then add an edu-data entry to your Claude MCP settings configuration. Use the get_education_data tool for detailed queries (requires level, source, topic) and get_education_data_summary for aggregated statistics (requires level, source, topic, stat, var, by). Both tools accept optional filters, subtopics, and result limits.
