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 malformed
  • authentication_error: Authentication failed
  • not_found: The requested resource does not exist
  • server_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 hour
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining: Remaining requests for the current hour
  • X-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"
}
