Access public Ohio State University campus data from services like bus, dining, events, buildings, parking, and more via osu content APIs in JSON format.
Access public Ohio State University campus data from services like bus, dining, events, buildings, parking, and more via osu content APIs in JSON format.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use the bundled fetch helper to pull JSON from OSU Content APIs. Fetch by full URL: node ohio-state-api/scripts/osu-fetch.mjs https://content.osu.edu/v2/api/v1/dining/locations Fetch by service + path: node ohio-state-api/scripts/osu-fetch.mjs --service dining --path /locations Note: --path can be passed with or without a leading / (both work). If the response is large, add --extract <dot.path> (e.g. --extract data) to print only a subtree.
If you just want raw JSON and have curl available, reference ohio-state-api/references/OSU_API.md: Full URL: curl -sS -H 'accept: application/json' 'https://content.osu.edu/v2/api/v1/dining/locations' With query params: curl -sS -H 'accept: application/json' 'https://content.osu.edu/v2/classes/search?q=cse&p=1' Optional: pipe to jq for readability: curl -sS -H 'accept: application/json' 'https://content.osu.edu/v2/api/v1/dining/locations' | jq .
This skill bundles the original MCP server under ohio-state-api/mcp-server/. Build it: cd ohio-state-api/mcp-server && npm install && npm run build Then configure your MCP client to run: command: node args: ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/ohio-state-api/mcp-server/build/index.js"] After itβs running, use tools like: get_bus_routes, get_bus_vehicles get_buildings, search_buildings, get_building_details get_dining_locations, get_dining_menu get_campus_events, get_events_by_date_range search_classes get_parking_availability (See ohio-state-api/mcp-server/README.md and the tool definitions in ohio-state-api/mcp-server/src/ for the full list.)
Identify the service area (dining, bus, buildings, events, etc.). Prefer a list/search endpoint first, then follow IDs into detail endpoints. For time-based data, always include both: the query window (absolute dates/times), and the retrieval timestamp. When returning data to a user, summarize key fields and attach the raw JSON as an artifact when possible.
