Wilma MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Wilma - the Finnish school communication platform by Visma. This allows Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants to interact with school data including schedules, messages, and more.

Features

• Schedule - View daily or weekly timetables with subjects, times, and teachers
• Messages - Read inbox messages with read/unread status, view full content, mark as read
• Recipients - List available message recipients (teachers, staff)
• Send Messages - Compose and send messages to teachers

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• A Wilma account (student, guardian, or teacher)
• Your school's Wilma URL (e.g., https://yourschool.inschool.fi)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jessemc98/wilma-mcp.git
cd wilma-mcp

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install the package
pip install -e .

Configuration

Create a .env file with your Wilma credentials:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

WILMA_BASE_URL=https://yourschool.inschool.fi
WILMA_USERNAME=your_username
WILMA_PASSWORD=your_password

Security Note: Never commit your .env file to version control.

Usage with OpenClaw

If you use OpenClaw, this project includes a SKILL.md that automatically teaches your agent how to use the Wilma MCP tools.

1. Complete the Installation and Configuration steps above.
2. Add the MCP server to your Claude Code settings (~/.claude.json or project .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wilma": {
      "command": "/path/to/wilma-mcp/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "wilma_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/wilma-mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Place or symlink the SKILL.md into your OpenClaw skills directory so the agent can discover it.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wilma": {
      "command": "/path/to/wilma-mcp/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "wilma_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/wilma-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after updating the configuration.

Available Tools

get_schedule

Get the school schedule for a specific date.

Parameters:

• date_str (optional): Date to get schedule for. Defaults to "today".
  • Supports: "today", "tomorrow", "yesterday"
  • Weekday names: "monday", "tuesday", etc. (English or Finnish)
  • Date formats: "2024-03-15", "15.3.2024"

Example: "What's my schedule for Monday?"

get_week_schedule

Get the schedule for a full week.

Parameters:

• start_date (optional): Start date of the week. Defaults to today.

Example: "Show me next week's schedule"

get_messages

Get list of messages from inbox. Each message shows a read/unread indicator (📖 read, 📬 unread).

Parameters:

• folder (optional): Folder name - "inbox", "sent", or "archive". Defaults to "inbox".
• limit (optional): Maximum messages to return. Defaults to 20.

Example: "Check my messages"

get_message

Read a specific message with full content. Note: viewing a message automatically marks it as read on the Wilma server.

Parameters:

• message_id: The ID of the message to read.

Example: "Read message 12345"

set_message_read

Explicitly mark a message as read. Useful for marking messages as read without reading their full content. Wilma does not support marking messages as unread — this is a platform limitation.

Parameters:

• message_id: The ID of the message to mark as read.

Example: "Mark message 12345 as read"

get_recipients

Get list of available message recipients (teachers, staff).

Example: "Who can I send messages to?"

send_message

Send a new message to a teacher or staff member.

Parameters:

• recipient_id: ID of the recipient (use get_recipients to find IDs)
• subject: Message subject
• body: Message body/content
• reply_to_id (optional): Message ID if this is a reply

Example: "Send a message to teacher 123 about homework"

reply_to_message

Reply to an existing message. This is the preferred way to reply since it handles recipient resolution automatically via Wilma's reply form, without needing to look up recipient IDs.

Parameters:

• message_id: ID of the message to reply to (from get_messages)
• body: Reply message body/content

Example: "Reply to message 12345 saying I'll attend"

Example Conversations

Once configured, you can ask Claude:

• "What's my schedule today?"
• "Do I have any classes on Friday?"
• "Show me my unread messages"
• "Read the message from my teacher"
• "What time does school start tomorrow?"

Technical Notes

• Wilma has no official public API. This server reverse-engineers the web interface.
• Authentication uses session cookies obtained via the login flow.
• Schedule data is extracted from embedded JavaScript in the schedule page.
• Message lists use a JSON endpoint; individual messages require HTML parsing.
• Read/unread tracking: Wilma's JSON API includes a Status field per message — truthy means unread, falsy/absent means read. Viewing a message (GET request) marks it as read server-side. There is no API to mark a message as unread.
• The server may need updates if Wilma's web interface changes.

Development

# Install with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest
