Integration

Clever integration

Clever connects education apps to school districts' student information systems. With a district-app token, read a district's schools, users (students, teachers, staff, district admins and guardian contacts), sections, courses, terms and resources, and walk their relations (a section's students, a student's teachers or contacts). Follow changes through the 30-day events feed, read daily and per-section attendance (a preview API), and, for LMS Connect partners, create and update assignments and grade submissions in the district's LMS. Lists return 100 records by default with links to the next page. Which routes a token can read depends on the app's Clever agreement: without Secure Sync a district-app token reads only the district routes, and sections, events and paging need Secure Sync. Authentication is a district-app bearer token, copied from the district's overview in the Clever dashboard, sent in the Authorization header as Bearer.

Connect Clever How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Clever.Built from the 53 Clever tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Clever

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Clever from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Clever in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Clever operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step
