Skolverket MCP — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects AI clients to open educational registries from Sweden's Skolverket agency. Useful for querying curriculum criteria, school directories, and adult education.
claude mcp add skolverket-mcp -- npx -y skolverket-mcpWhat Skolverket MCP does
This integration exposes three public APIs maintained by the Swedish National Agency for Education: Syllabus API, the national school unit registry, and the Planned Educations catalog. Your assistant can inspect curriculum documents such as LGR22 and GY25, compare grading benchmarks across subjects, and locate accredited secondary or adult education programs.
The server implements 41 individual tools, four data resources for reference codes, and five prompt templates tailored for syllabus comparisons. Communication relies on the stdio transport. A local Node.js runtime is mandatory on your machine, since the server runs via npx or a precompiled dist/index.js file.
What it helps with
- query active or closed schools across Swedish municipalities
- compare grade criteria between curriculum revisions like LGR22 and GY25
- search adult education programs including Komvux and vocational courses
- inspect mandatory subjects for upper secondary study tracks
Example prompts for the agent
- Find all active upper secondary schools located in Stockholm municipality.
- Compare grade criteria E and A for the Svenska 1 syllabus.
- List available Komvux courses starting next semester with their study pace.
