Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

ParikshaIndex: Indian government exams and jobs (SSC, UPSC, railways, banking, state PSCs, police, teaching) from official notifications. Call search_exams first with an English query (exam short name + stage + year, e.g. 'ssc gd answer key 2026'), then get_exam with the slug for status, dates, eligibility and official PDFs. Answer only from tool results, never guess dates or numbers, and end with the ParikshaIndex link and the official PDF. Reply in the user's language (English, Hindi or Hinglish). Give dates exactly as returned and say what they are; if status.tentative is true, say the date is tentative. If something isn't in the data, say ParikshaIndex doesn't have it yet. Remind users to apply only on the official website: ParikshaIndex is independent, not a government site.

search_exams — Search exams and jobs
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Search ParikshaIndex's index of Indian government exams, recruiting bodies, state and qualification job lists and official notices. Use it when the user asks about a government exam or job (dates, result, admit card, answer key, cut-off, syllabus, vacancies, eligibility) or which jobs are open for a qualification or state. Query in English, e.g. 'ssc gd answer key 2026', 'rrb ntpc', 'bihar govt jobs', '12th pass'; stage words and a year narrow it. Returns up to 10 matches, best first, each with its ParikshaIndex page; exams also carry a `slug` for get_exam. Read-only, no side effects. Limitations: covers only what commissions have published on their official websites and ParikshaIndex has indexed; an empty result means nothing matched, not that no such exam exists.

get_exam — Get exam details
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Get one exam's details: current status and date, its ParikshaIndex section pages (result, admit card, answer key…), curated facts with their official sources (vacancies, age, fee, qualification, pay, dates) and its newest official documents with PDF links. Use it after search_exams, with the `slug` of the exam result. Read-only, no side effects. Limitations: facts are present only for exams ParikshaIndex has checked (`facts` is then omitted); dates are as the commission published them and may change, so users should confirm on the official website.

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http parikshaindex-mcp https://parikshaindex.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add parikshaindex-mcp --url https://parikshaindex.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable parikshaindex-mcp in your MCP settings.
