Install Ictexam in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y ictexam-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Ictexam repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
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:
npx -y ictexam-mcp # no install
npm install -g ictexam-mcpRequires Node.js 18 or newer.
Configure
Set these in your MCP client's server config (or a .env):
Claude Desktop example
{
"mcpServers": {
"ictexam": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ictexam-mcp"],
"env": {
"ICTEXAM_BASE_URL": "https://app.ictlms.net",
"ICTEXAM_EMAIL": "teacher@example.com",
"ICTEXAM_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Tools
Read tools are always available:
Write tools appear only when ICTEXAMMCPALLOW_WRITE=true:
Safety
The server is read-only by default. The three write tools are not registered at all unless you set ICTEXAMMCPALLOW_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.
