College Scorecard
Connects Claude to the Department of Education's College Scorecard API for querying institutional data on U.S. colleges and universities. You can look up tuition costs, graduation rates, post-graduation earnings, and program-level details by institution name, location, or characteristics. Useful when you're building education research tools, comparing schools for admissions consulting, or analyzing higher ed outcomes across demographics or geographies. The server runs on OlyPort's infrastructure with a free tier of 100 calls per day, so you can prototype education data workflows without standing up your own API client. Part of their 38-server federal data catalog.
