CubbyEd Classical Curriculum Connector

Model Context Protocol (MCP) · Developer preview · Last updated August 31, 2026

This connector lets an AI assistant — Anthropic's Claude / Claude for Teachers, OpenAI's ChatGPT / ChatGPT for Teachers, or any MCP client — ground its lesson planning and curriculum answers in CubbyEd's real, vetted classical K-12 curriculum.

Scope & privacy

Public curriculum only: subjects, courses, lesson outlines, key terms, trivium-stage pedagogy, and classical lesson-plan scaffolds, generated from CubbyEd's in-app catalog.
No student data, by design. There is deliberately no tool that returns a student, class, roster, grade, or mastery record. See the Privacy Policy.
No account required. The server does not read your conversation — only the parameters your assistant passes to a tool call.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_subjects`	The classical subjects CubbyEd teaches, with course and grade coverage.
`list_courses`	Browse / filter courses by grade, subject, and trivium stage.
`get_course`	Full outline of one course: units, lessons, topics, key terms.
`search_curriculum`	"Where does CubbyEd teach X?" — ranked lesson search.
`get_trivium_stage`	The classical stage and pedagogy for a given grade.
`build_lesson_plan`	A classical lesson-plan scaffold grounded in a real course, for the assistant to finish.

All tools are read-only. There is also a resource, cubbyed://curriculum/overview, with a high-level map of the curriculum.

Or run it locally (stdio)

The connector runs as a local stdio server with no hosting. Node 18+:

git clone https://github.com/<your-fork>/cubbyed
cd cubbyed/mcp-server
npm install
npm start        # stdio

Then add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cubbyed": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/cubbyed/mcp-server/src/stdio.js"]
    }
  }
}
