Admit Coach — College Search & Costs missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

application
get_application_deadlines
Recorded application, aid and commitment deadlines for up to 20 colleges, with days remaining. Also returns a prep schedule worked backwards from the earliest application deadline (recommendations, first essay draft, final essay, submission) and a calendar-file URL. Dates come from institution records for the current cycle and can lag; tell the student to confirm each on the official admissions page. No student data is read or stored.
financial
get_financial_aid
Read historical average net price, income brackets, grants and debt for a college. These cohort statistics are not a personalized cost estimate or financial aid offer. Public-college averages may not apply to nonresident students. Verify the official college net-price calculator before deciding affordability. Missing figures remain unknown.
universities
search_universities
Find colleges by name, two-letter location, field of study or historical acceptance rate. Returns at most 20 institutions and links to school profiles. This searches public institutional records, does not access student accounts, and does not predict admission.
university
get_university_details
Read a college's admissions ranges, majors, costs and outcomes by IPEDS ID. Use search_universities to resolve a name first. Values are historical and may be missing; cite the returned school URL. No login, personal profile or student documents are accessed.

The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Admit Coach — College Search & Costs working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 183 of 183 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1112 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Admit Coach — College Search & Costs?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Admit Coach — College Search & Costs need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Admit Coach — College Search & Costs answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Admit Coach — College Search & Costs?
It answers our handshake in 1112 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
