AppMatic Tech engineers MCP servers that expose LMS data such as courses, enrolments, progress, and assessments to language models through scoped tools, built with Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. An education assistant answers a learner's progress and next-step questions from live data while student records stay permission-bound. 330+ products shipped since 2017.
An education assistant is most useful when it knows where a learner actually is, which lives in the LMS. AppMatic Tech builds an MCP server that exposes course, progress, and assessment data as governed tools, so the model personalises guidance without unrestricted access to student records.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What LMS data can the MCP server expose?
- AppMatic Tech builds MCP servers that expose courses, enrolments, progress, and assessment results as queryable tools, so an education assistant answers where a learner is and what comes next from live LMS data.
- How are student records protected?
- AppMatic Tech scopes tokens per learner and applies role-based visibility, so a tool call only returns records the requester is entitled to see, with every access logged.
- Does it work with an existing LMS?
- Yes. AppMatic Tech integrates the MCP server with the institution's existing LMS through its API rather than requiring a migration to a new platform.
