TutorX-MCP API Documentation
This document provides comprehensive documentation for the TutorX-MCP API for developers who want to integrate with the system.
API Overview
The TutorX-MCP server exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) API that allows clients to interact with various educational tools and resources. This API follows the standard MCP protocol as defined in MCP Specification.
Authentication
For production deployments, all API requests should include an API key in the Authorization
header:
Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here
Base URL
Default: http://localhost:8000
For production: See your deployment configuration
Tools API
Tools represent functionality that can be invoked by MCP clients. Each tool is accessed via:
POST /tools/{tool_name}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"param1": "value1",
"param2": "value2"
}

Resources API
Resources represent data that can be fetched by MCP clients. Each resource is accessed via:
GET /resources?uri={resource_uri}
Accept: application/json
Available Resources
concept-graph://
Retrieves the full knowledge concept graph.
learning-path://{student_id}
Retrieves the personalized learning path for a student.
curriculum-standards://{country_code}
Retrieves curriculum standards for a specific country.
student-dashboard://{student_id}
Retrieves dashboard data for a specific student.
Error Handling
API errors follow a standard format:
{
"error": {
"code": "error_code",
"message": "Human-readable error message",
"details": {}
}
}
Common error codes:
invalid_request
: The request was malformedauthentication_error
: Authentication failednot_found
: The requested resource does not existserver_error
: Internal server error
Rate Limiting
Production deployments implement rate limiting to prevent abuse. Clients should monitor the following headers:
X-RateLimit-Limit
: Maximum requests per hourX-RateLimit-Remaining
: Remaining requests for the current hourX-RateLimit-Reset
: Timestamp when the limit will reset
SDK
For easier integration, we provide client SDKs in multiple languages:
- Python:
pip install tutorx-client
- JavaScript:
npm install tutorx-client
Example usage (Python):
from tutorx_client import TutorXClient
client = TutorXClient("http://localhost:8000", api_key="your-api-key")
# Call a tool
result = client.assess_skill("student123", "math_algebra_basics")
print(result["skill_level"])
# Access a resource
concept_graph = client.get_concept_graph()
Webhooks
For real-time updates, you can register webhook endpoints:
POST /webhooks/register
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer your-api-key
{
"url": "https://your-app.example.com/webhook",
"events": ["assessment.completed", "badge.awarded"],
"secret": "your-webhook-secret"
}
