Documentation Overview

ictexam-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for ICTExam, the AI exam authoring, delivery and auto-grading platform from ICT Innovations.

It lets an AI assistant read your exams, gradebooks and per-question item analysis, and — only when you turn writes on — parse a question paper into a structured exam with AI and publish exams to students.

Install

Run it straight from npm with npx, or install it globally:

Terminal

npx -y ictexam-mcp      # no install
npm install -g ictexam-mcp

Requires Node.js 18 or newer.

Configure

Set these in your MCP client's server config (or a .env):

Variable	Required	Default
`ICTEXAM_BASE_URL`	yes		Your site, e.g. `https://app.ictlms.net` (no trailing `/api`)
`ICTEXAM_EMAIL`	yes		A teacher or admin account
`ICTEXAM_PASSWORD`	yes		Password for that account
`ICTEXAM_API_PREFIX`	no	`/api`	API mount path; set empty to hit the backend port directly
`ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE`	no	`false`	Unlock the write tools (see Safety)
`ICTEXAM_TIMEOUT_MS`	no	`60000`	Per-request timeout (AI parsing can be slow)
`ICTEXAM_TLS_INSECURE`	no	`false`	Skip TLS verification — self-signed test servers only

Tools

Read tools are always available:

Tool	What it does
`ictexam_list_exams`	List exam papers (id, title, status, class, subject)
`ictexam_get_exam`	One paper's settings, share links and questions
`ictexam_list_classes`	Classes (course groups)
`ictexam_list_subjects`	Subjects, each tied to a class
`ictexam_gradebook`	Per-exam totals and student marks
`ictexam_item_analysis`	Per-question difficulty, p-value and average mark

Write tools appear only when ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true:

Tool	What it does
`ictexam_parse_question_paper`	Upload a local PDF/DOCX and AI-extract the questions
`ictexam_publish_exam`	Publish a paper; returns student and teacher share URLs
`ictexam_unpublish_exam`	Set a paper back to draft

Safety

The server is read-only by default. The three write tools are not registered at all unless you set ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true, so a default install cannot change anything on the platform. Parsing a paper spends AI credit on the server, and publishing makes an exam live for students — both sit behind that switch on purpose. The client authenticates with the account's own session cookie and echoes the CSRF token on writes, exactly as the web app does; it never stores or logs your password beyond the environment you give it.

How it connects

ICTExam runs a FastAPI backend. The server signs in once with your email and password, keeps the session cookie for the life of the process, and talks to the REST API under /api (configurable). No API key to provision.
