ClassQuill MCP server

smithery badge

Give any MCP-aware AI tool — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Composio, and more — read access to your ClassQuill tutoring-business data: sessions, students, tutors, parents, invoices, payments, lesson plans, bookings, earnings, and reports.

It's a thin, read-only proxy over the ClassQuill public API (/v1). Each tool maps 1:1 to a public API endpoint, so the tool list can never drift from the real API. Your credentials never leave your machine (or, in hosted mode, your request).

ClassQuill is the tutoring-business-management platform by EquateIt. The npm package is published as equateit-mcp.

Two ways to use it

1. Hosted (recommended — nothing to install)

Point any remote-MCP client at the hosted server:

https://mcp.classquill.com/mcp
  • Claude / Claude.ai — add it as a custom connector and sign in (OAuth).
  • Codex — codex mcp add classquill --url https://mcp.classquill.com/mcp
  • Any client — pass your API key as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer ei_live_…

2. Local (run it yourself via npx)

npx -y equateit-mcp        # stdio, reads EQUATEIT_API_KEY

Claude Code:

claude mcp add classquill -e EQUATEIT_API_KEY=ei_live_xxxx -- npx -y equateit-mcp

Cursor / Claude Desktop / Windsurf (mcpServers config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "classquill": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "equateit-mcp"],
      "env": { "EQUATEIT_API_KEY": "ei_live_xxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Getting an API key

Create one in the ClassQuill app under Settings → Developers (org admins). Keys look like ei_live_… and are read-only for this server.

Tools

One read-only tool per /v1 GET route — sessions, students, tutors, parents, invoices, payments, lesson-plans, homework, questions, subjects, files, results, availabilities, coverage, reports, and more. The list is generated from the public OpenAPI spec (npm run gen:tools) so it always matches the live API.

Options & environment

FlagEnv varDefaultPurpose
--keyEQUATEIT_API_KEY—Your ei_live_… key (stdio mode).
--http—offRun as an HTTP (Streamable HTTP) server instead of stdio.
--port / -pMCP_PORT3000HTTP port.
—EQUATEIT_API_BASE_URLhttps://api.classquill.comAPI base (no trailing /v1).

In HTTP mode, each request supplies its own credential as Authorization: Bearer … — an ei_live_… API key or an OAuth access token.

Develop

npm install
npm run build     # → dist/
npm test          # unit tests (url builder + auth scheme)

Self-hosting the HTTP server is a single container — see Dockerfile.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y equateit-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-equateitau-classquill-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "equateit-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
