# psquare

psquare lets an agent read ParentSquare feeds, calendars, messages, and roster data. It relies on saved session cookies rather than a public API.

## What it does

psquare exposes ParentSquare through MCP. The server can read school feeds and post details, calendar events, conversations, staff directories, files, photos, forms, polls, payments, groups, classes, and student dashboards. Attachments can be saved locally, while images and PDFs embedded in posts are returned as part of the post data.

Admin tools cover student and guardian rosters, classes, and staff. Creating or editing records, linking guardians, and sending invitations are disabled until `PS_ENABLE_WRITES` is set. Every write attempt is recorded in a local audit log, and the server does not delete records.

ParentSquare has no public API here, so psquare relies on saved session cookies and undocumented `/api/v2/` JSON endpoints behind the web interface. Those endpoints can change or be blocked, and their use may conflict with ParentSquare terms. Without a valid saved session, the server cannot reach the account data.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add psquare -- uvx parentsquare-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from parentsquare-mcp <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add psquare -- uvx parentsquare-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from parentsquare-mcp <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "psquare": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "parentsquare-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from parentsquare-mcp <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "psquare": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "parentsquare-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from parentsquare-mcp <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add psquare uvx parentsquare-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from parentsquare-mcp <command>

## When to use it
- read school feed posts and their details
- turn calendar events into structured data
- look up conversations, staff, or groups
- download a ParentSquare attachment locally
- inspect student and guardian rosters

## Example prompts
- Show the latest ParentSquare school posts and summarize their contents.
- Find this week’s ParentSquare calendar events and include their locations.
- List students without linked guardians so I can review the roster.
