Skolverket-MCP

Skolverket-MCP is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to the open application programming interfaces provided by the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket). It provides programmatic access to the Syllabus API, the School Units Register (Skolenhetsregistret), and the Planned Educations API. Educators, students, guidance counselors, and researchers use this tool to query Swedish educational curriculum requirements, analyze course progressions, and inspect public school registries. The server exposes 41 tools, 4 resources, and 5 prompt templates that let language models parse curricula like LGR22 and GY25, search active or closed school units across municipalities, and inspect adult education programs such as Komvux, SFI, and Yrkeshogskola. By translating natural-language queries into structured API lookups, it enables users to cross-reference grading criteria, audit educational provisions, and evaluate educational paths across Sweden without manually searching multiple government portals.
