Umd MCP Overview

The umd-mcp MCP server connects AI clients to University of Maryland course, dining, schedule, and student-portal data. It provides anonymous PlanetTerp, nutrition, and Schedule of Classes lookups, while selected Testudo tools require UMD sign-in. Login uses a controlled Chrome or Edge browser to establish service sessions, with optional Canvas token support for ELMS tools. Use it when an agent needs to search UMD courses, inspect sections, retrieve dining information, or read an authenticated student record.
