MCP server for Librus Synergia — access grades, messages, attendance, homework, timetables, and announcements from AI assistants

Librus MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI assistants with access to the Librus Synergia electronic gradebook. It supports multiple student accounts simultaneously and exposes tools for grades (numeric, GPA, and descriptive), messages, attendance, homework, schedules, timetables, announcements, completed lessons, and student information.

Acknowledgments

This project is built on top of the excellent librus-apix library by RustySnek. Their work on reverse-engineering and maintaining a Python client for the Librus Synergia platform made this MCP server possible. If you find this project useful, please consider starring their repository as well.

Quick Start

1. Add to your AI assistant

Pick your client. Credentials are passed directly via the env block — no files or cloning needed.

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["librus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIBRUS_ACCOUNTS": "[{\"alias\":\"daughter\",\"username\":\"12345\",\"password\":\"...\"}]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Via the /mcp command or in ~/.claude.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["librus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIBRUS_ACCOUNTS": "[{\"alias\":\"daughter\",\"username\":\"12345\",\"password\":\"...\"}]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json (global) or .gemini/settings.json (project-level):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["librus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIBRUS_ACCOUNTS": "[{\"alias\":\"daughter\",\"username\":\"12345\",\"password\":\"...\"}]"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (global) or .codex/config.toml (project-level):

[mcp_servers.librus]
command = "uvx"
args = ["librus-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.librus.env]
LIBRUS_ACCOUNTS = '[{"alias":"daughter","username":"12345","password":"..."}]'

Note: uvx automatically downloads and runs the package from PyPI — no cloning or virtual environments needed. You only need uv installed (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh).

Providing credentials

Each account represents a parent's login to Librus Synergia for a specific child. In the Polish school system, parents receive separate Librus login credentials for each of their children. The alias is a friendly name you choose to identify which child's data you're accessing. The username and password are the parent portal credentials you use to log in at synergia.librus.pl.

Limitation: accounts that require interactive two-factor authentication are not supported — the underlying librus-apix library has no 2FA flow, so such accounts fail at login.

There are three ways to provide credentials (checked in this order):

Method	Best for	Example
LIBRUS_ACCOUNTS env var	uvx users, CI	JSON array of account objects (see examples above)
LIBRUS_CONFIG env var	Custom file location	Path to your secrets.json, e.g. ~/.config/librus/secrets.json
secrets.json in working dir	Local development	Create from secrets.json.template

Multiple children

Add multiple accounts to the JSON array:

[{"alias":"daughter","username":"12345","password":"..."},{"alias":"son","username":"67890","password":"..."}]

Using a config file with uvx

If you prefer a file over inline JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["librus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIBRUS_CONFIG": "/Users/you/.config/librus/secrets.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative: Install from source

If you prefer to run from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/krzysztofbury/librus-mcp.git
cd librus-mcp
uv venv && uv pip install -e .
cp secrets.json.template secrets.json   # Then fill in credentials

Then use the full path in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librus": {
      "command": "/path/to/librus-mcp/.venv/bin/librus-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

Tool	Description
list_students()	List configured student aliases
get_grades(student_alias, sort_by?)	Get numeric grades, GPA, and descriptive grades (all, week, or last_login)
get_final_grades(student_alias)	Get end-of-year summary per subject: midterm, predicted annual (przewidywana roczna), and annual grade
get_messages(student_alias, page?, folder?, all_pages?)	Get one page of messages from the received or sent folder, or the whole folder (bounded at 2000 messages)
get_message_content(student_alias, message_id)	Get a message: author, title, date, and content
get_attendance(student_alias, sort_by?)	Get attendance records (all, week, or last_login)
get_attendance_detail(student_alias, detail_url)	Get details of one attendance entry
get_attendance_frequency(student_alias)	Get attendance frequency per semester and overall
get_subject_frequency(student_alias, start?, end?)	Get per-subject attendance percentage, optionally filtered by date range

get_recent_schedule_events(student_alias)	Get schedule events added since the last Librus login
get_timetable(student_alias, monday?)	Get a week's timetable (default: current week; monday picks another week)

get_student_information(student_alias)	Get student profile (name, class, tutor, school, lucky number)

All tools carry MCP ToolAnnotations (read-only / destructive / idempotent hints), so MCP hosts can apply their own safety policies.

Optional tools (feature gates)

These tools are registered based on the features section of the configuration (or the LIBRUS_FEATURES env var, a JSON object merged over it):

Tool	Feature gate	Default	Description
get_new_notifications(student_alias)	notifications	on	Everything new since the previous call (grades, attendance, messages, announcements, schedule, homework). Seen-state is persisted per student, so each item is reported once
get_message_attachments(student_alias, message_id)	attachments	on	List attachments (filename + file ID) of a message
download_attachment(student_alias, message_id, file_id)	attachments	on	Download an attachment to the download directory
get_behaviour_notes(student_alias)	behaviour_notes	on	Behaviour notes (uwagi): date, teacher, category, content
get_recipient_groups(student_alias)	send_message	off	List recipient groups for messaging
get_recipients(student_alias, group)	send_message	off	List recipients (name → ID) in a group
send_message(student_alias, title, content, recipient_ids, confirm_token?)	send_message	off	Send a real message to school staff — enable deliberately

send_message uses a two-step confirmation: the first call sends nothing and returns a preview plus a single-use confirm_token (valid 5 minutes); only a second call with that token delivers the message.

Example with all options:

{
  "accounts": [{"alias": "daughter", "username": "12345", "password": "..."}],
  "features": {
    "notifications": true,
    "attachments": true,
    "behaviour_notes": true,
    "send_message": false
  },
  "state_dir": "~/.librus-mcp/state",
  "download_dir": "~/.librus-mcp/downloads"
}

Setting	Env override	Default	Purpose
features	LIBRUS_FEATURES	see above	Enable/disable optional tools
state_dir	LIBRUS_STATE_DIR	~/.librus-mcp/state	Per-student seen-notification state
download_dir	LIBRUS_DOWNLOAD_DIR	~/.librus-mcp/downloads	Attachment download target
