Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed
- npm or another Node package manager
- Git to clone the repository
- Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or another MCP-compatible client
- No Skolverket API credentials needed (public APIs)
Clone the repository
Clone the Skolverket-MCP repository from GitHub to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/isakskogstad/Skolverket-MCP.git
cd Skolverket-MCPInstall dependencies and build
Install all Node.js dependencies and compile the TypeScript source to JavaScript in the dist/ folder.
npm install
npm run buildNote the absolute path to the built file
The MCP client needs the absolute path to dist/index.js. Run pwd to get the current directory and append /dist/index.js.
pwd
# Example output: /Users/yourname/Skolverket-MCP
# Full path will be: /Users/yourname/Skolverket-MCP/dist/index.jsAdd to Claude Desktop configuration
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) and add the skolverket server block. Use the absolute path from the previous step.
{
"mcpServers": {
"skolverket": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/Skolverket-MCP/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Add via Claude Code CLI (alternative)
If you use Claude Code, you can register the server directly from the terminal without editing a config file manually.
claude mcp add skolverket node /absolute/path/to/Skolverket-MCP/dist/index.jsRestart your client and test
Restart Claude Desktop or Claude Code. The 41 Skolverket tools will be available. Try asking about Swedish school curricula to confirm the connection is working.

Natural language prompts that exercise the three main API areas: syllabi, school units, and planned educations.
- "Compare grade E and grade A requirements for the course Swedish 1"
- "Find all active upper secondary schools in Stockholm county"
- "How did programming topics evolve across Swedish curricula from 2011 to 2025?"
- "List vocational programs with available adult education in Gothenburg"
- "What subjects are included in the natural science program curriculum?"Troubleshooting Skolverket MCP
node: cannot find module error when starting the server
Make sure you ran `npm run build` successfully and that dist/index.js exists. The path in the config must be the absolute path to this compiled file, not to the TypeScript source.
Tools appear but return empty or error responses
Skolverket's public APIs are occasionally rate-limited or temporarily unavailable. Wait a moment and retry. Also verify your internet connection since the server makes outbound HTTPS calls to Skolverket endpoints.
41 tools not visible—only a few show up
Some MCP clients cap how many tools are shown. Confirm you have rebuilt after the latest git pull. If using Claude Code, run `claude mcp list` to check the server is registered, then explicitly ask for a tool by name to bypass any display limit.
