AdmitBase
Model Context Protocol

Use AdmitBase inside your AI assistant

AdmitBase ships a public MCP server. Any MCP-capable client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude.ai connectors, ChatGPT custom connectors — can query admissions data for 500+ professional schools and calculate match scores. All three tools work anonymously; no signup, no API key, no header.

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add the mcpServers entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "admitbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://admitbase.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The three AdmitBase tools appear in the connectors panel.

Cursor

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global access):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "admitbase": {
      "url": "https://admitbase.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
ChatGPT Custom Connector

1. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2. Paste https://admitbase.com/api/mcp as the server URL.

3. Leave auth blank — every tool is anonymous.

Any other MCP client

POST JSON-RPC 2.0 requests to https://admitbase.com/api/mcp. Discovery manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json.

Methods supported: initialize, tools/list, tools/call, ping.

Try a prompt

Once installed, ask your assistant something like:

  • “Use AdmitBase to find the top 20 medical schools and tell me which of them my 3.7 GPA and 515 MCAT would be a target for.”
  • “What are NYU Law's 25/50/75th LSAT and GPA numbers? Pull from AdmitBase.”
  • “Compare a 3.85 GPA / 168 LSAT applicant against all T-14 law schools. Use AdmitBase's match calculator.”
