eClass-MCP-Server

# eClass MCP Server An MCP server for interacting with the [Open eClass](https://github.com/gunet/openeclass) platform, with support for UoA's SSO authentication. <p align="center"> <a href="https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-Protocol-blue" alt="MCP Protocol"></a> <a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPLv3-blue.svg" alt="License: GPL v3"></a> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-3.10%2B-blue" alt="Python: 3.10+"> </p> <p align="center"> <img src="assets/example.png" alt="Example Usage" width="600"> </p> ## Features - **SSO Authentication**: Log in through UoA's CAS SSO system - **Course Retrieval**: Get list of enrolled courses - **Session Management**: Persistent sessions between tool calls - **Status Checking**: Verify authentication status ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Python 3.10+ - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (recommended) or pip ### Installation ```bash git clone https://github.com/sdi2200262/eclass-mcp-server.git cd eclass-mcp-server uv sync --dev --all-extras ``` ### Configuration Create a `.env` file (or copy `example.env`): ```bash ECLASS_USERNAME=your_username ECLASS_PASSWORD=your_password ``` Optional settings: ```bash ECLASS_URL=https://eclass.uoa.gr # Default ECLASS_SSO_DOMAIN=sso.uoa.gr # Default ECLASS_SSO_PROTOCOL=https # Default ``` ### Running ```bash # Using the entry point script python run_server.py # Or as a module python -m src.eclass_mcp_server.server ``` ## MCP Client Configuration To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client, configure your client to run: ```bash python3 /absolute/path/to/eclass-mcp-server/run_server.py ``` Set the following environment variables in your client's MCP configuration: ```json { "env": { "ECLASS_USERNAME": "your_username", "ECLASS_PASSWORD": "your_password" } } ``` **Optional environment variables:** - `ECLASS_URL` - OpenEclass instance URL (default: `https://eclass.uoa.gr`) - `ECLASS_SSO_DOMAIN` - SSO domain (default: `sso.uoa.gr`) - `ECLASS_SSO_PROTOCOL` - SSO protocol (default: `https`) Refer to your specific client's documentation for how to add MCP servers to your configuration. ## Available Tools | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `login` | Authenticate using credentials from `.env` | | `get_courses` | Retrieve enrolled courses (requires login) | | `logout` | End the current session | | `authstatus` | Check authentication status | All tools use a dummy `random_string` parameter (MCP protocol requirement). ## Standalone Client For non-MCP usage, a standalone client is included: ```bash python eclass_client.py ``` This demonstrates the core functionality without MCP integration. See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) for details. ## Documentation - [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) - System design and authentication flow - [Wire Protocol](docs/reference/wire-protocol.md) - JSON-RPC message formats - [Tools Reference](docs/reference/tools-reference.md) - Detailed tool documentation ## Project Structure ``` eclass-mcp-server/ ├── run_server.py # Entry point ├── eclass_client.py # Standalone client (non-MCP) ├── src/eclass_mcp_server/ # Main package │ ├── server.py # MCP server and tool handlers │ ├── authentication.py # SSO authentication │ ├── course_management.py # Course operations │ ├── html_parsing.py # HTML parsing utilities │ └── test/ # Test scripts └── docs/ # Documentation ``` ## Security - Credentials are stored locally in `.env` only - Never passed as tool parameters (preventing AI provider exposure) - Sessions maintained in-memory only - No cloud services or remote storage ## License [GNU GPL v3.0](LICENSE) - This ensures transparency in credential handling. ## Acknowledgments - [GUnet](https://github.com/gunet) for the [Open eClass platform](https://github.com/gunet/openeclass) - This project is an independent interface, not affiliated with GUnet
