NTNU Courses (unofficial) MCP server

• check_timetable_conflictsFree

  Checks a set of NTNU courses for the same year for clashing lecture/lab times and colliding exam dates — a clash check to run before registering for courses. Accepts bare course codes. Each side of a conflict carries its activity 'kind': a lecture-vs-lecture clash is unavoidable, while one involving an exercise or lab often has alternative groups. Exam dates come from the catalog, which does not mark deferred (utsatt/kont) sittings.

• compare_coursesFree

  Side-by-side comparison of NTNU courses for a given year — campus, exam dates, weekly teaching hours, and latest grade distribution — to help choose between courses. Accepts bare course codes.

• get_course_infoFree

  Everything about an NTNU course except exam logistics: credits, level, campus, language of instruction, prerequisites, mandatory activities, course content / learning outcomes, credit reductions ('studiepoengreduksjon'), which study programs the teaching is planned for, contacts, and any alert notices (e.g. 'no longer taught'). English text by default; pass language 'nb' for Norwegian. Omit year for the current study year. For exam dates, times, aid codes, and rooms use get_exam_info.

• get_course_scheduleFree

  Every dated teaching activity (lectures, labs) for a course in a year, with Oslo-local times and rooms. Long output for large courses — prefer get_weekly_timetable for a compact recurring-week overview.

• get_course_versionsFree

  The DBH-versioned course codes (like 'TDT4100-1') that exist for a bare NTNU course code. Useful when grade lookups come back empty.

• get_exam_infoFree

  Exam logistics for one or more NTNU courses in a single call: every exam occasion (ordinary / re-sit) with date, start time, duration, permitted-aids code ('hjelpemiddelkode') with its meaning, exam system, and assigned rooms. The way to answer 'when and where are my exams and what can I bring' for a whole semester at once. Rooms are only published days before the exam; unpublished fields are null. Omit year for the current study year.

• get_grade_distributionFree

  Historical grade distribution for an NTNU course (per year and semester, with counts and percentages; grades A-F, or pass/fail codes). Accepts bare codes like 'TDT4100'. Omit years to get all recorded years. Small counts may be privacy-masked. Data comes from Norway's official DBH statistics.

• get_semestersFree

  NTNU's terms (semesters) with ids like '26h' (autumn 2026) / '26v' (spring), teaching weeks, exam-period dates, and which term is current.

• get_study_planFree

  The official study plan for an NTNU program and cohort intake year: which courses (codes, credits, mandatory/elective) belong to each semester, and the specialization choice points with their course groups. The bridge from 'I study X' to concrete course codes — feed them to get_weekly_timetable, check_timetable_conflicts, or get_exam_info. cohort_year is the year the student STARTED (defaults to the current cohort); students in their Nth year started N-1 years ago.

• get_weekly_timetableFree

  The recurring weekly timetable grid for a course in a year: weekday, times, ISO-week ranges, rooms, and a classified 'kind' per slot (lecture / exercise / lab / seminar / unknown). The compact way to answer 'when are the lectures for X' — filter on kind == 'lecture', since NTNU's own activity titles are free-form Norwegian text.

• search_coursesFree

  Search NTNU's course catalog for a given year (server-side free-text search over course names and codes; Norwegian terms often match best, e.g. 'maskinlæring' rather than 'machine learning'). Call this first when you don't know the exact course code. Returns course codes, Norwegian names, campus, and exam dates.

• search_study_programsFree

  Search NTNU's study-program catalog (~400 programs) by free text (name, code, keywords), study level (e.g. 'bachelor', 'master', 'ph.d'), and/or city (Trondheim, Gjøvik, Ålesund). Returns program codes like 'MTDT' — the input for get_study_plan. Call this first when you only know a program's name.
