Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "umd-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add umd -- npx -y umd-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "umd-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "umd": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is Umd MCP safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.0.1) reached the registry 37 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

umd-mcp

An MCP server exposing University of Maryland data: courses and grades (PlanetTerp, Jupiterp, the Schedule of Classes, the Testudo student portal, ELMS), dining menus and news, Shuttle-UM routes and timetables, athletics, the campus calendar, TerpLink organizations and events, RecWell facilities and the ActiveTerp recreation portal, the University Senate, and the campus directory.

Development

pnpm install

pnpm dev # run the server on stdio with hot reload pnpm inspect # open the MCP Inspector against the dev server pnpm test # run tests pnpm check # typecheck + lint + format check + knip (dead code) + tests pnpm build # emit dist/

Using with a client

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop, Claude Code):

"mcpServers": { "umd": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/umd-mcp/dist/index.js"] } } }

Signing in

Some UMD services need a signed-in user. The login tool opens a browser window that umd-mcp controls (Chrome or Edge, on its own profile under ~/.umd-mcp/browser-profile) at the UMD Shibboleth IdP, with a CAS service URL pointing at a one-shot listener on 127.0.0.1. Once the user finishes signing in (including Duo) the IdP redirects back with a service ticket, which the server validates against serviceValidate to learn who signed in.

While that single sign-on session is fresh, login then visits every connected service (see below) in the same window so each app can set its own session cookie, and copies those cookies into a per-service Session. The window closes by itself. The profile persists, so later logins are usually silent. logout forgets everything and clears the profile's cookies.

Why a browser: CAS only issues a ticket for the service named in the login URL, and each app turns its ticket into a cookie for its own origin. The only way for the server to hold those cookies is to be the browser that receives them.

The callback host is localtest.dev.umd.edu, a public DNS name UMD IT publishes that resolves to 127.0.0.1. It is used instead of localhost because the IdP sits behind an AWS WAF that rejects any service URL containing localhost with a 403.

Environment variables:

UMD_MCP_BROWSER: path to a Chromium executable, if Chrome or Edge are not installed.
UMD_MCP_PROFILE_DIR: where to keep the browser profile.
CANVAS_TOKEN: a Canvas personal access token (from ELMS profile settings). When set, the ELMS tools use it as a bearer token and need no browser sign-in.
