Try the plugin

Start with a useful question.

The plugin chooses the right workflow and MCP tools. Add a free key only for custom SQL.

Four good first questions

Resolve names first · keep levels of detail separate

Research a college

Check which public sources and releases are available before asking for analysis.

What public data does EduInsights have for [college]? Resolve the college first and name the current data version.

Tools

edu_describe_dataedu_resolve_entity

Compare program fields

Keep each college, credential, and source’s level of detail visible.

Compare reported completions and available earnings or debt for [field] at [institution A] and [institution B]. Keep credentials separate. Explain privacy-hidden values or broader CIP-4 outcomes.

Tools

edu_resolve_entityedu_get_program

Draft an occupation brief

Use read-only SQL when the curated tools do not cover the question.

Draft a one-page brief on [occupation] using wages, projections, tasks, and observed AI-use signals. Separate source facts from interpretation. Do not treat AI use as a job-loss forecast.

Tools

edu_describe_dataedu_resolve_entityedu_run_sql

Enrich a local program portfolio

Combine a file you control with public context without uploading the file to EduInsights.

Read program-portfolio.csv locally. Resolve each field to a CIP-6 code. Add public completion and outcome context. Keep student-level rows out of the tools. List unmatched names separately.

Your agent reads the file locally. EduInsights receives only the names, codes, or query arguments needed for the tools. It does not receive the spreadsheet.

Tools

edu_resolve_entityedu_run_sql

Your agent and model provider apply their own permissions and data-handling terms. Do not send student-level or other sensitive rows to these tools.

Scripts + automation

Running without a browser?

Use a free API key for cron jobs, CI, servers, and direct HTTP calls. The key also enables the ad-hoc SQL tool for advanced analysis.
