openemis-mcp — AI bridge for OpenEMIS school management
Free, read-only MCP bridge between AI agents and any OpenEMIS school.
OpenEMIS is a free, open-source school management information system developed by UNESCO and KORDIT. It runs the day-to-day administration of every kind of educational institution — kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, secondary vocational institutions, technical colleges, and universities — managing students, staff, attendance, assessment, infrastructure, meals, scholarships, examinations, training, and ministry-level reporting. This MCP gives AI agents read-only access to the data in any OpenEMIS school so you can ask questions in plain English and get answers in seconds.
Built on the published OpenEMIS Core API (reference: api.openemis.org/core) and verified against the public demo at demo.openemis.org/core.
What this is: openemis-mcp is a free MCP server that connects AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Codex) to the OpenEMIS school management system. It exposes 678 resources — students, student attendance, student risks, staff, exams, infrastructure — across 26 curated read-only playbooks, plus 14 redirect stubs for write operations.
Ask in plain English:
"How many current students are at Avory Primary?"
The agent plans the calls, this MCP delivers the data:
"Avory Primary School has 97 currently enrolled students across 6 classes."
No code. No JSON. Just ask.
What's included (free, MIT)
26 read-only playbooks covering attendance, assessment, student profiles, staff profiles, infrastructure, meals, risk dashboards, class reports, timetables, audit logs, school accreditation / registration, admission and enrolment queue state, and a primer on how the OpenEMIS workflow plugin powers every multi-step approval — each verified against the v5 manifest at 100% resource coverage. 14 additional playbook stubs are discoverable here but redirect to openemis-mcp-pro for the actual write/auth steps.
Translations: Русский · Español · हिन्दी · العربية — the original 17 view playbooks also translated in all four languages; 9 newer playbooks (added in v1.1.0 for Core 5.10.0, plus the two workflow playbooks) are English-only for now.
✏️ Write operations (creating/updating records in OpenEMIS) require openemis-mcp-pro. This free server is intentionally read-only — post, put, and delete are not available.
What's in Pro
openemis-mcp-pro adds write tools, remote hosting, and ChatGPT compatibility on top of this free read-only server.
