SUMMARY

MCP server for ICTExam — read exams, gradebooks and item analysis; parse papers with AI and publish exams. By ICT Innovations.

README.md

ictexam-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for
ICTExam, the AI exam authoring, delivery and
auto-grading platform from ICT Innovations.

It lets an AI assistant read your exams, gradebooks and per-question item
analysis, and — only when you turn writes on — parse a question paper into a
structured exam with AI and publish exams to students.

Install

Run it straight from npm with npx, or install it globally:

npx -y ictexam-mcp      # no install
npm install -g ictexam-mcp

Requires Node.js 18 or newer.

Configure

Set these in your MCP client's server config (or a .env):

Variable Required Default
ICTEXAM_BASE_URL yes Your site, e.g. https://app.ictlms.net (no trailing /api)
ICTEXAM_EMAIL yes A teacher or admin account
ICTEXAM_PASSWORD yes Password for that account
ICTEXAM_API_PREFIX no /api API mount path; set empty to hit the backend port directly
ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE no false Unlock the write tools (see Safety)
ICTEXAM_TIMEOUT_MS no 60000 Per-request timeout (AI parsing can be slow)
ICTEXAM_TLS_INSECURE no false Skip TLS verification — self-signed test servers only

Tools

Read tools are always available:

Tool What it does
ictexam_list_exams List exam papers (id, title, status, class, subject)
ictexam_get_exam One paper's settings, share links and questions
ictexam_list_classes Classes (course groups)
ictexam_list_subjects Subjects, each tied to a class
ictexam_gradebook Per-exam totals and student marks
ictexam_item_analysis Per-question difficulty, p-value and average mark

Write tools appear only when ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true:

Tool What it does
ictexam_parse_question_paper Upload a local PDF/DOCX and AI-extract the questions
ictexam_publish_exam Publish a paper; returns student and teacher share URLs
ictexam_unpublish_exam Set a paper back to draft

Safety

The server is read-only by default. The three write tools are not registered
at all unless you set ICTEXAM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true, so a default install cannot
change anything on the platform. Parsing a paper spends AI credit on the server,
and publishing makes an exam live for students — both sit behind that switch on
purpose. The client authenticates with the account's own session cookie and
echoes the CSRF token on writes, exactly as the web app does; it never stores or
logs your password beyond the environment you give it.

How it connects

ICTExam runs a FastAPI backend. The server signs in once with your email and
password, keeps the session cookie for the life of the process, and talks to the
REST API under /api (configurable). No API key to provision.

About
