SchoolPass for Claude — students, arrival/dismissal calendar, pickup changes, and school info

Developer ToolsTypeScriptv1.0.7

schoolpass-mcp

MCP server for SchoolPass — read AND change your child's school arrival & dismissal from a parent account. Talks to the SchoolPass REST API used by the SchoolPass web and mobile apps, authenticating server-side with your own parent email and password (no browser, no extension).

Developed and maintained by AI (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.

Parent-scoped: read tools plus a confirm-gated dismissal-change write/cancel.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
schoolpass_healthcheckReachability + authentication, reported separately.

Configuration

Env varRequiredNotes
SCHOOLPASS_EMAILyesYour SchoolPass parent account email.
SCHOOLPASS_PASSWORDyesYour SchoolPass password.
SCHOOLPASS_SCHOOL_CODEyesThe numeric school id (the AppCode / appCode value; e.g. 1183).
SCHOOLPASS_API_HOSTnoRegional API host override (default busapi-east16-ss.school-pass.net).

Finding your school id and region host: sign into your school's <school>.school-pass.net portal, open the new SchoolPass app, and read appCode (the id) and apiUrl (the host) from its browser localStorage.

Install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "schoolpass": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "schoolpass-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCHOOLPASS_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "SCHOOLPASS_PASSWORD": "your-password",
        "SCHOOLPASS_SCHOOL_CODE": "1183"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

  • Parent scope only. A parent token cannot reach admin routes (visitor management, carline operations, reports, bus routing); those return 403.
  • Never retry a rejected login. SchoolPass fronts its login with reCAPTCHA; repeated failures can get the account challenged.
  • No credentials, still boots. The server starts without configuration and answers tools/list; the config error surfaces on the first tool call.

Without the server: curl

The SchoolPass API is reachable server-side, so a one-off shell read needs no MCP process — see the bundled schoolpass-curl skill (skills/schoolpass-curl/) for a curl + jq recipe set.

Development

npm install
npm test            # tsc typecheck + unit + boot tests
npm run build       # tsc + esbuild bundle
node --env-file=.env scripts/live-check.mjs   # live read-only check (needs .env)
