Q: How does the Student MCP Server help students? A: The Student MCP Server helps students organize and manage their academic life by tracking courses, assignments, exams, concepts, and study resources in a structured knowledge graph. This allows students to visualize connections, understand dependencies, and optimize their learning process.

Q: What kind of entities can I manage with this MCP Server? A: You can manage various educational entities, including courses, assignments, exams, concepts, resources, notes, lectures, projects, questions, terms, goals, and professors. You can also track the status and priority of these entities.

Q: What are the key features of the Student MCP Server? A: Key features include persistent educational context, study session management, course management, concept mapping, assignment tracking, exam preparation, deadline management, resource organization, progress monitoring, and knowledge connections.

Q: How do I start a study session with the Student MCP Server? A: You can start a study session by using the startsession tool. This tool generates a unique session ID and displays current courses, upcoming deadlines, recently studied concepts, and past study sessions.

Q: How can I load detailed context for a specific entity? A: You can use the loadcontext tool to load detailed context for a specific entity (e.g., course, assignment). This tool displays relevant information based on the entity type, including status, priority, and sequential relationships.

Q: How do I record the results of a study session? A: You can record the results of a study session using the endsession tool, which includes sub-commands for summarizing the session, documenting concepts learned, tracking assignment updates, recording status updates, updating course status, and recording new concepts.

Q: How do I create new entities or relationships in the knowledge graph? A: You can use the buildcontext tool to create new entities (e.g., courses, assignments, concepts) and relationships between entities, including status, priority, and sequential relations.

Q: How can I find upcoming deadlines for assignments and exams? A: You can use the getUpcomingDeadlines domain-specific function to find assignments and exams with approaching due dates.
