Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Unofficial read-only Somtoday parent portal: timetable, homework, grades, assignments, messages

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 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

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add somtoday -- npx -y somtoday-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "somtoday": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "somtoday-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": {
    "somtoday": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "somtoday-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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Somtoday (unofficial) safe?

It passed 1 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 (0.3.1) reached the registry 16 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.

somtoday-mcp

Read-only MCP server for the Somtoday parent portal. It lets an AI assistant such as Cursor or Claude Desktop look up your child's timetable, homework, and grades from your own parent account.

It runs locally on your computer over stdio. Nothing is sent anywhere except to Somtoday itself.

Disclaimer. This is an unofficial community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Somtoday or Topicus. It works by interoperating with the undocumented internal web API that the official parent portal uses, so it may stop working or behave differently at any time without notice. It is intended for use with your own account, only reads data, and is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind (see LICENSE); use it at your own risk and in line with Somtoday's terms of use. "Somtoday" and "Topicus" are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to describe what the software works with.

What it does

ToolWhat you get
whoamiYour school label, the linked children with their numeric ids, and which portal sections are visible to you.
lessonsThe timetable for one day, and whether that day is a school holiday. Each lesson has type (ROOSTERTOETS/EXAMEN = test) and uitgevallen when cancelled; homework and test topics come from homework for the same date.
homeworkWhat to do and learn on which day: every study-planner item for a date range (default today + 6 days, max 42), grouped by day, with description, learning goals, time estimate, test type, attachments (links), external links, hand-in window/status and the done tick.
gradesThe most recent results (up to 30) and averages per subject.
assignmentsAll hand-in assignments with window, status (upcoming, to do, waiting for review, approved), late flag, description, attachments and links. status=open keeps the ones still to do.
assignment_detailOne assignment as the parent portal shows it: instruction, files, links, hand-in window and status. Submitted files and teacher reactions are only visible in the student's own session.
study_materialStudy material per subject: lesson material from the planner by date, year attachments by folder (file links), external links, and methods/publisher links. No arguments lists the subjects; vak picks one; all=true fetches every subject.
scheduleTimetable for a date range (default today + 6 days, max 42): time, lesson hour, subject, room, teachers, type (test, exam, parent evening …), lesson notes, changes and cancellations, attachments, holidays.
grades_latestNewest results first with subject, column, description, grade, weight, test type, period, date, remarks and resits; limit (default 50, max 1000) and dossier=examen for SE results.
grades_overviewFull grade overview for a school year: every subject, every result per period, report grades, weights and remarks. schooljaar picks an earlier year.
subject_gradesEverything for one subject: every result column with weights and remarks, column definitions (also not yet graded), composite-test parts, for the progress and exam dossier. No vak lists the subjects.
exam_gradesSchool-exam dossier (PTA/SE): per subject the SE average, every SE result, tests still to come and test-type averages.
absenceAbsence and registrations for the school year or grading period (absent, late, removed, homework/materials not in order) with counts and entries, plus active measures.
messagesMessages, read-only: newest conversations (subject, sender, date, unread, preview; zoek/ongelezen filters) or one full thread with conversatieId. Never marks anything as read.
newsSchool news items (newest first, as text) and the unread count.
announcementsSomtoday-wide announcements shown in the portal.
childrenLinked children with profile, class, school data (mentors, year, programme), current placement and visible portal sections.
school_infoSchool contact data and the school's information pages; paginaId opens one page.
teachersStaff you can message, with the subjects they teach your child.
signing_requestsDigital signing requests (read-only; nothing is signed). Each item has document: {tool: "signing_document", id, available}.
signing_documentThe (signed) PDF of one signing request, as the portal's download button: pass document.id; returns extracted text, max 10 MB. Fetched with your login token, so it is not a fileUrl for download_attachment.
parent_eveningParent-evening details (slots, teachers); finds invitations in your messages (read-only; nothing is booked).
consentsConsents such as use of photos, as set in the portal (read-only).
download_attachmentRead an attachment by fileUrl: https Somtoday hosts only (extend with SOMTODAY_MCP_ATTACHMENT_HOSTS), max 10 MB, no token sent; text from PDF/text/HTML/CSV/JSON.
auth_statusWhether a session is stored, where, and how the last token renewal went. Never returns tokens.
  • lessons takes an optional date (YYYY-MM-DD, Europe/Amsterdam) and defaults to tomorrow. Range tools take date, or from/to.
  • If more than one child is linked to your account, pass leerlingId (the numeric id from whoami).
  • assignments with status=open hides past-due items that expect no digital hand-in (inleveringenVerwacht: 0, e.g. handed in on paper) and reports the count in verborgenZonderInlevering; pass includeNoHandIn=true to see them.
  • assignments merges near-duplicates (same subject, topic, hand-in window and status, e.g. one assignment published to two groups) into one item with the other ids in duplicaatToekenningIds; pass dedupe=false to list them separately.
  • If a section is switched off for your account, the tool says so and does not call that part of the API.

Not included: anything that changes data, such as sending messages, reporting absence, booking parent-evening slots, signing requests, or uploading hand-ins.

Read-only and privacy

  • Tools only send GET requests. Nothing is written, submitted, or marked as read.
  • The server talks only to Somtoday's login and API servers.
  • No telemetry or analytics.
  • Your password is typed only into the Somtoday login page in a browser window. No tool, CLI flag, environment variable, or prompt ever asks for it.
  • Tools never return tokens.

Timetables, homework, and grades are personal data about children. Keep the output on your own devices, use only accounts you are entitled to use, and do not share or republish it. Under the GDPR you are responsible for what you do with data you export.

Install

Requires Node.js 22 or newer (the PDF text extraction used by download_attachment and signing_document does not run on Node 20).

Published on npm as somtoday-mcp, with provenance from this repository's release workflow.

npx -y somtoday-mcp            # start the MCP server (used by your MCP client)

npx -y somtoday-mcp login # sign in, once, in a terminal

Login opens a normal browser window. When Google Chrome (or else Microsoft Edge) is installed, that browser is used, with a fresh temporary profile that is deleted afterwards; it passes Somtoday's Cloudflare "Verify you are human" check more reliably. Only without C
