This repository contains the **implementation of the Model Context Protocol** (MCP) server **for the EduBase platform**. It allows MCP clients (for example Claude Desktop) and LLMs to interact with your EduBase account and perform tasks on your behalf. It supports stdio, SSE and streamable HTTP transport protocols.
## What is EduBase?
EduBase is an innovative, modular, online educational platform that makes learning more enjoyable, simpler and interactive, suitable for educational institutions or enterprises.

### Obtaining your API credentials
Once logged in, on your Dashboard, search for the Integrations menu, click "add integration" and choose the type "EduBase API".
**If you don't see this option**, enter the `MCPGITHUB` activation code or feel free to contact us to request access at [info@edubase.net](mailto:info@edubase.net).
## Tools
Each documented API endpoint is available as a separate tool, named `edubase__`. For example, the tool for the `GET /user:me` endpoint is named `edubase_get_user_me`. See our [developer documentation](https://developer.edubase.net) for more information.
## Configuration
The MCP server can be configured using environment variables. The following variables are available:
| Variable | Description | Required | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| `EDUBASE_API_URL` | The base URL of the EduBase API, most probably `https://subdomain.edubase.net/api`. | **Yes** | `https://www.edubase.net/api` |
| `EDUBASE_API_APP` | The App ID of your integration app on EduBase, the `app` on the EduBase API. Find this in the integration details window on EduBase. | Not if HTTP transport is used with authentication, otherwise **Yes** | - |
| `EDUBASE_API_KEY` | The Secret key of your integration app on EduBase, the `secret` on the EduBase API. Find this along the App ID in the integration details window on EduBase. | Not if HTTP transport is used with authentication, otherwise **Yes** | - |
| `EDUBASE_SSE_MODE` | Start MCP server in HTTP mode with SSE transport. Value must be `true`. | No | `false` |
| `EDUBASE_STREAMABLE_HTTP_MODE` | Start MCP server in HTTP mode with streamable HTTP transport. Value must be `true`. | No | `false` |
| `EDUBASE_HTTP_PORT` | HTTP server will listen on this port if SSE or streamable HTTP transport mode is used. | No | 3000 |
| `EDUBASE_OAUTH` | Enables OAuth 2.1 protected-resource behaviour: unauthenticated requests are rejected with `401 + WWW-Authenticate` pointing at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, and bearer tokens are forwarded to the EduBase API. | No | `false` |
| `EDUBASE_OAUTH_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER` | Public base URL of the EduBase deployment acting as the OAuth IdP. Used to advertise the authorization server in the protected-resource metadata document. | No | derived from `EDUBASE_API_URL` |
| `EDUBASE_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL` | Public base URL of *this* MCP server (the OAuth resource indicator). Used in the `WWW-Authenticate` header and resource metadata. | No | derived from `EDUBASE_API_URL` |
| `EDUBASE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` | When an HTTP transport is used, the `edubase_filebin` tool blocks outbound requests to private, loopback, link-local and reserved addresses (SSRF protection) and refuses local file paths. Set to `true` to allow them, e.g. a self-hosted deployment on a trusted private network. Has no effect in stdio mode, where the local user is the only caller. | No | `false` |
| `EDUBASE_FILEBIN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` | Optional comma-separated allow-list of hostnames permitted as `edubase_filebin` upload targets (exact host or any subdomain, e.g. `edubase.net`). When empty, any public host is allowed (still subject to the address filtering above). | No | - |
## Use as a remote MCP server
You can use the **EduBase MCP server as a remote MCP server** for your MCP client. To do this, you need to host the MCP server where clients can access it, and then configure the client to connect to the server. Either start it with SSE or streamable HTTP transport mode and always use HTTPS when accessing the server remotely over the internet!
### Authentication with remote servers
You can use server in two modes:
* **Without client authentication**: In this mode, the server will not require any authentication from the client. This is useful for testing or development purposes, or in a closed network but it is not recommended for production use. For this, you have to configure the server with the `EDUBASE_API_APP` and `EDUBASE_API_KEY` as well!
* **With Bearer token authentication**: In this mode, the server will require a Bearer token to be sent with each request. This is the recommended way to use the server in production. You can obtain the Bearer token from your EduBase account by creating an integration app and providing the App ID and Secret key in the `{app}:{secret}` format, base64 encoded as a token. The server will then use this token to authenticate the client and authorize access to the API endpoints.
* **With OAuth 2.1 (EduBase as IdP)**: When `EDUBASE_OAUTH=true`, compatible clients (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai connectors, Cursor, ChatGPT connectors, etc.) discover the EduBase authorization server through `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, register themselves dynamically (RFC 7591), walk the user through an EduBase consent screen, and exchange an authorization code (with PKCE S256) for an opaque access token. The MCP server forwards that token verbatim to the EduBase API, which resolves it to the auto-provisioned MCP integration, created on first consent. No App ID/Secret to copy — users just click "Connect EduBase" in their client.
## Usage with Claude Desktop
For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our blog post on how to [connect EduBase with Claude: The Complete MCP Integration Guide](https://edubase.blog/claude-mcp-integration-guide/).
### Using the provided EduBase MCP server
You can use the provided EduBase MCP server (if available) without any configuration, just by adding it as a remote server in your client with the URL `https://domain.edubase.net/mcp` (replace with the actual domain), if it supports OAuth authentication, or with the appropriate Bearer token in the `Authorization` header (`Authorization: Bearer ${BASE64_ENCODED_TOKEN}`).
**Recommended for www.edubase.net users**, as the server is maintained and updated by us, and you don't have to worry about hosting or configuring it. Just make sure to use the correct URL and authentication method when connecting your client.
### Installing manually
Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
#### Using Node.js
Before running the MCP server, make sure you have **Node.js installed**. You can download it from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/) or use a package manager like `brew`.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"edubase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@edubase/mcp"
],
"env": {
"EDUBASE_API_URL": "https://domain.edubase.net/api",
"EDUBASE_API_APP": "your_integration_app_id",
"EDUBASE_API_KEY": "your_integration_secret_key"
}
}
}
}
```
Or download EduBase MCP server release or clone the repository and run `npm run build` to build the server. Do not forget to adjust `/path/to/dist` to the actual directory and **configure the environmental variables**!
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"edubase": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"EDUBASE_API_URL": "https://domain.edubase.net/api",
"EDUBASE_API_APP": "your_integration_app_id",
"EDUBASE_API_KEY": "your_integration_secret_key"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Using Docker
Before running the MCP server, make sure you have **Docker installed and is running**. You can download it from [docker.com](https://www.docker.com/) or use a package manager. Do not forget to **configure the environmental variables**!
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"edubase": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"EDUBASE_API_URL",
"-e",
"EDUBASE_API_APP",
"-e",
"EDUBASE_API_KEY",
"edubase/mcp"
],
"env": {
"EDUBASE_API_URL": "https://domain.edubase.net/api",
"EDUBASE_API_APP": "your_integration_app_id",
"EDUBASE_API_KEY": "your_integration_secret_key"
}
}
}
}
```
### Installing via remote MCP server
You can use the provided EduBase MCP server (if available) as a remote server. We recommend Base64 encoding your `EDUBASE_API_APP` and `EDUBASE_API_KEY` and using it in as a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header (`Authorization: Bearer ${BASE64_ENCODED_TOKEN}`).
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"edubase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://domain.edubase.net/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer ${EDUBASE_API_APP}:${EDUBASE_API_KEY}"
]
}
}
}
```
