What it actually does

This repository contains an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides access to the Urban Institute's Education Data API. The server is designed to be used with Claude to enable easy access to education data.

The Urban Institute's Education Data API provides access to a wide range of education data, including:

  • Retrieve detailed education data via the get_education_data tool
  • Retrieve aggregated education data via the get_education_data_summary tool
  • Browse available endpoints via resources
