Overview

The eClass MCP Server is a client designed to interact with the University of Athens' eClass platform, facilitating a connection between a Large Language Model (LLM) and the eClass instance through a Model Context Protocol (MCP).

To use the eClass MCP Server, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment, install dependencies, and configure your credentials in the .env file. You can then run a test script to verify authentication or use the client in your own Python code.

  • Authentication with UoA's Single Sign-On (SSO) system (CAS) - Fetching the list of enrolled courses - Session management (login/logout) - Robust error handling and logging
  1. Accessing course information directly from an LLM chatbox.
  2. Integrating eClass data into AI-assisted IDEs.
  3. Automating course management tasks for students and educators.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect eClass MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-eclass-mcp-server-sdi2200262"
