## Codex

Paste this setup request into a new task:

> Install the EduInsights plugin from https://github.com/AI-Idea-Lab/eduinsights-plugin. Then confirm that its skills and MCP tools are available. If you cannot install it directly, guide me through the setup.

Approve the installation. Start a new task when it finishes.

### Codex CLI

Codex can also install the plugin from a terminal:

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add AI-Idea-Lab/eduinsights-plugin
codex plugin add eduinsights@eduinsights
```

## Claude Code

The EduInsights plugin is under review and coming soon. Use the Claude connector for now.

## Other MCP clients

Use `https://mcp.eduinsights.ai/mcp` when a client supports MCP but not plugins.

Direct MCP exposes the tools and prompts without the plugin skills.

Transport: MCP over Streamable HTTP.

## Access model

- Entity resolution, data description, and canonical program profiles are public; no account is needed.
- Ad-hoc read-only SQL requires authentication in production through client OAuth or an EduInsights API key.
- API keys are sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` for scripts, CI, servers, and direct HTTP clients.
- Every tool is read-only and returns evidence or snapshot context appropriate to the result.

## How to use it

1. Install the ChatGPT plugin, connect Claude, or use another setup path above.
2. Ask the client to resolve the relevant institution, field, or occupation.
3. Inspect the current data and table grain before retrieval or analysis.
4. Prefer curated tools; use SQL only when the question needs an aggregation or join they do not cover.
5. Carry evidence metadata and limits into the final answer.
