Best for
  • Educational institutions and corporate training teams already using or adopting EduBase
  • Teachers and course administrators who want LLMs to manage EduBase content (questions, exams, user data)
  • Users needing a hosted remote MCP server with OAuth 2.1 authentication
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Users not on the EduBase platform
  • Those seeking a generic connector for arbitrary LMS systems (this server only talks to the EduBase API)
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • Requires the App ID and Secret Key of an EduBase integration app (EDUBASE_API_APP, EDUBASE_API_KEY)
  • Remote deployments authenticate clients via Bearer tokens (base64-encoded app:secret) or OAuth 2.1
  • Local stdio mode requires API credentials configured as environment variables
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • A leaked API Secret lets others act on your EduBase account
  • The LLM can perform account actions on your behalf; mistakes may affect real course and exam data
  • HTTP transport exposed publicly without authentication is vulnerable to misuse
  • edubase_filebin on self-hosted private networks requires care when setting EDUBASE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
