Piazza Server

An MCP server that lets AI agents browse your Piazza course forums — search posts, read questions/answers, and discover relevant course content.

Install

Requires uv (brew install uv).

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user piazza --env [email protected] --env PIAZZA_PASSWORD=your-password -- uvx piazza-mcp@latest

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "piazza": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": ["piazza-mcp@latest"],
        "env": {
          "PIAZZA_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
          "PIAZZA_PASSWORD": "your-password"
        }
      }
    }
