README
openemis-mcp
Free, read-only MCP bridge between AI agents and any OpenEMIS instance.
Built on the published OpenEMIS Core API (reference: api.openemis.org/core) and verified against the public demo at demo.openemis.org/core.
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.

Install
Requires Node 22+.
git clone https://github.com/tixuz/openemis-mcp.git
cd openemis-mcp
npm install
npm run build
cp .env.example .env
$EDITOR .env
Configure
OPENEMIS_BASE_URL=https://demo.openemis.org/core
OPENEMIS_USERNAME=admin
OPENEMIS_PASSWORD=your_password
OPENEMIS_API_KEY=your_api_key
Smoke test
set -a && source .env && set +a
node scripts/smoke-login.mjs
Register with Claude Code
claude mcp add openemis \
--env OPENEMIS_BASE_URL="https://your-instance/core" \
--env OPENEMIS_USERNAME="…" \
--env OPENEMIS_PASSWORD="…" \
--env OPENEMIS_API_KEY="…" \
-- node "$(pwd)/dist/server.js"
Works with any MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex (via gemmy-and-qwenny), or any stdio MCP client.
Verbose logging (optional)
Capture every tool call and its response as JSONL — useful for debugging, tuning playbooks, or sharing a bug report.
# stderr (visible in your MCP client's log panel)
OPENEMIS_LOG_VERBOSE=1 node dist/server.js
# write to a file
OPENEMIS_LOG_VERBOSE=1 OPENEMIS_LOG_FILE=/tmp/openemis.jsonl node dist/server.js
Each line is a JSON object: {ts, type:"tool_call"|"tool_result"|"tool_error", tool, args?, result?, latency_ms, ...}. Credential-shaped keys (password, authorization, api_key, token, secret) are redacted automatically.
⚠️ Privacy:
tool_resultentries contain the actual OpenEMIS data returned to the agent — student names, staff IDs, enrollment details. Enable only on instances you own, or with explicit consent. Default is OFF.
🌐 Remote / server install: openemis-mcp-pro adds an HTTP server mode — install once on Oracle Always Free and every AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT) connects by URL with no per-machine setup. See the ChatGPT Teacher Guide for how to let teachers mark attendance via ChatGPT.
Playbooks
24 curated workflow guides — see docs/playbooks/:
Architecture
Agent (Claude / Cursor / Codex / …)
│ MCP stdio
openemis-mcp ← 6 read tools + 24 playbooks
│ HTTPS + Bearer JWT
OpenEMIS Core API /api/v5/{resource}
Domain-scoped discovery keeps conversations small — openemis_discover("attendance") returns the 20–30 endpoints relevant to attendance, not all 1,350.
🖥️ Server / HTTP mode (install once on Oracle, connect from anywhere including ChatGPT) is available in openemis-mcp-pro.
