--- ## See it in action [](https://youtu.be/XPtMB_Id-Fo) --- ## What this is **Zooza MCP Server** is a free, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for [Zooza](https://zooza.online) β the class management and scheduling software for dance schools, language academies, swim schools, music schools, STEAM programmes, sports clubs, and other activity businesses. It lets activity managers, school administrators, and franchise operators manage schedules, track attendance, create classes, handle bookings, and query their data through natural language conversation β using Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI client β without opening the Zooza dashboard. > **Zooza powers 500,000+ learners across Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, the UK, and beyond** β from single-location dance schools to international franchise networks. This MCP server brings the same platform to any AI client that speaks the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). **New to Zooza?** [Create a free account at signup.zooza.online](https://signup.zooza.online) β it takes under 2 minutes. --- ## What you can do ### Take attendance
```
"Open the register for tonight's adult ballet class."
"Who was absent from Saturday's Spanish beginners session?"
"Mark everyone present in today's robotics group."
"Add a note to this week's yoga class β we covered breathing techniques."
```
### Build a term from scratch
```
"Create a new Spanish for beginners course for Spring 2026 at the city centre location.
Classes every Tuesday 16:00β17:00 for 12 weeks, starting 3 March.
Assign trainer TomΓ‘Ε‘ NovΓ‘k and preview the full schedule before I confirm."
```
```
"Set up our summer robotics camp β Monday to Friday, 9:00β13:00, for 4 weeks in July.
Split into two age groups: 6β9 and 10β14. Preview both before I confirm."
```
### Turn a photo into a full term β no blank page
Building a season by hand means two days of typing into empty forms. Instead, hand the assistant whatever you already have β a whiteboard photo, a hand-drawn sketch, a spreadsheet screenshot β and it drafts the whole term for you to review before anything goes live.
```
"Here's a photo of our autumn whiteboard β create these classes in my account, starting Monday the 8th."
"Screenshot of our timetable spreadsheet attached. Build the full term, respecting our holiday calendar."
```
You always see a preview table and calendar first, and nothing is created until you confirm β *you bring the intent, you keep the final say*. Read how one brand turned a single photo into 68 live classes across venues: [From a photo to a full term of live classes](https://www.zooza.online/photo-to-live-schedule-zooza-assistant/).
### Get instant answers
```
"Which programmes are running this billing period?"
"Who's teaching dance on Monday evenings?"
"Which STEAM courses still have free capacity this term?"
"What sessions are scheduled for tomorrow?"
```
### Manage bookings
```
"Show unpaid registrations from this season."
"Which clients are on the waiting list for Saturday gymnastics?"
"How many spots are left in the beginner English course?"
```
### Ask for any report β in plain language
No report modules, no spreadsheet formulas. Ask a business question the way you actually think about it, and the assistant pulls the real numbers and lays them out β shaped around your question, not a fixed dashboard.
```
"Who's at which venue each day this week?"
"Which instructors are stretched thin, and who has room for more?"
"What grew and what shrank between the spring and summer terms?"
"How many seats does my whole operation actually have right now?"
```
Reporting only ever **reads** β it never touches bookings, classes, or payments, so you can explore freely. More on how brands use this: [Custom reports, just by asking](https://www.zooza.online/custom-reports-zooza-assistant/).
No clicking through menus. No switching tabs. No automation scripts. Just ask β Claude handles the lookups, rosters, previews, and confirmations.

> **Note:** Five of the 30 tools (`get_terminology`, `explain_data_model`, `comms_list_merge_vars`, `classes_list_schedule_patterns`, `negotiate_terminology`) work without any Zooza account β useful for exploring how the data model works before connecting live data.
---
## How it works
```
You β Claude / ChatGPT β Zooza MCP Server β Zooza API β Your data
```
The MCP server is **stateless and hosted by Zooza** at `mcp.zooza.app`. You don't run anything locally. Every request is authenticated against your Zooza account β Claude can only see and change what you're already allowed to access in the dashboard.
**Every write operation requires explicit confirmation** before anything is committed β Claude shows you what it's about to create or change, and only proceeds when you confirm.
**Regions:** EU (SK/CZ/DE/RO/HU/IT/PL), UK, US, and Asia regions are all supported. Your account is automatically routed to the correct regional infrastructure.
**Multi-location and franchise accounts:** Claude will ask which location to operate on at the start of each session. You can switch mid-conversation β useful for comparing across sites or managing a network.
---
## Languages & regions
Zooza MCP is designed for multilingual, multi-market operation. It understands regional terminology differences out of the box:
| Market | Language | How Zooza users say it |
|---|---|---|
| Slovakia | Slovak | kurzy (programmes), hodiny (sessions), dochΓ‘dzka (attendance) |
| Czech Republic | Czech | kurzy / lekce (sessions), evidence dochΓ‘zky (attendance) |
| Germany / Austria | German | Kurse (courses), Stunden (sessions), Stundenplan (schedule) |
| UK | English | terms, registers, classes |
| Romania, Hungary, Italy, Poland | Local + English | supported |
The `negotiate_terminology` tool lets Claude learn your business's specific vocabulary once and use it in every future conversation β so if you call programmes "kurzy" and sessions "hodiny," Claude will always respond in your terms.

## Security & compliance
- **TLS** on all traffic between your AI client and `mcp.zooza.app`
- **OAuth 2.0** β Claude receives a scoped token tied to your Zooza identity, not your password
- **Permission inheritance** β Claude can only do what your Zooza account allows
- **Confirmation before write** β all operations that create or change records require explicit confirmation
- **Stateless server** β the MCP server holds no session state between requests. For security and debugging, Zooza keeps a server-side audit log of tool calls (which tool ran, its arguments, and the result); it stays within Zooza's own infrastructure and is never shared with third parties
- **GDPR-ready** β Zooza processes data in accordance with GDPR. See the [Privacy Policy](https://www.zooza.online/privacy-policy/) and [Terms of Personal Data Processing](https://www.zooza.online/terms-of-personal-data-processing/). EU accounts are routed to EU-region infrastructure.
- **Regional data routing** β EU, UK, US, and Asia regions each route to their own infrastructure; your JWT determines the region automatically
> Queries to Zooza MCP may be processed by your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). Review their data policies alongside Zooza's when evaluating compliance requirements. All write operations require explicit confirmation before execution.
