## What it does

The server connects educational frameworks across different countries, covering subjects such as mathematics and science. It correlates national standards from jurisdictions like the United States with global programs like the International Baccalaureate. Each link includes a quality assessment score, which filters out low-confidence matches.

Self-hosting this integration requires setting the local database location in `DB_PATH`. While basic text matching functions out of the box, semantic concept retrieval relies on Ollama running `nomic-embed-text`. Without that local model, the tool falls back to strict keyword queries.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Environment variables: `DB_PATH` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add standardgraph -e DB_PATH=<DB_PATH> -- uvx standardgraph
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from standardgraph <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add standardgraph --env DB_PATH=<DB_PATH> -- uvx standardgraph
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from standardgraph <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "standardgraph": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "standardgraph"
            ],
            "env": {
                "DB_PATH": "<DB_PATH>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from standardgraph <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "standardgraph": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "standardgraph"
            ],
            "env": {
                "DB_PATH": "<DB_PATH>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from standardgraph <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add -e DB_PATH=<DB_PATH> standardgraph uvx standardgraph
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from standardgraph <command>

## When to use it
- Match a Singapore math standard against its Common Core equivalent
- Track how a specific topic progresses across multiple grade levels
- Audit curriculum coverage between different national frameworks
- Find state-level science learning targets related to a specific topic

## Example prompts
- Find the Singapore equivalent for standard CCSS.MATH.6.RP.A.3
- Trace how fraction concepts progress from grade 3 to grade 6 in CCSS
- List all curriculum systems available in the database
