college-roi-mcp
MCP server for U.S. college-ROI data: 30-year net present value (NPV) for 500 four-year colleges, lifetime ROI for 19 major categories + 115 CIP subfields, per-state best-value rankings, and the out-of-state tuition penalty ranking.
Wraps the free, keyless LE TEEN College ROI API (static JSON, CC BY 4.0). No API key, no signup, no rate limits beyond CDN sanity. Data derives from FREOPP program-level ROI estimates, IPEDS institutional data, and BEA price deflators — methodology at le-teen.com/methodology. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21351602.

Tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
list_majors | Compact ROI rows for 19 categories / 115 subfields — median & mean lifetime ROI, share of graduates in programs that never break even, median break-even age among programs that break even, AI-exposure band (category rows only). Filter by kind/parent, sort, limit. |
get_major | Full record for one major: ROI distribution (p25/median/mean/p75), completion-adjusted & dropout ROI, graduates/programs, AI-exposure detail. |
search_colleges | Search the 500 positive-NPV-envelope colleges by name/state/control — resident & non-resident 30-yr NPV, cost of attendance, median earnings, break-even age. |
get_college | Full record for one college, incl. IPEDS unitid and FREOPP coverage. |
best_value_colleges | Each state's best-value four-years at resident pricing (top 15 per state), or a nationwide top-pick summary. |
out_of_state_penalty | Public four-years ranked by how much 30-yr NPV a non-resident gives up vs a resident. |
get_api_info | Metadata for the underlying API: endpoints, license, DOI, attribution. |
All dollar figures are lifetime/30-year totals in USD. List responses are compact projections with limit controls so they stay small in agent contexts; detail tools return the full upstream record.
Note the envelope: this server's college list holds only the 500 four-year colleges with the largest FREOPP program coverage that also clear our data gates and show a positive 30-year net value. Absence from the list is a coverage statement, not a verdict.
Example prompts
- "Is a nursing degree worth it compared to computer science?"
- "Best-value colleges in Michigan for a resident."
- "How much does going out-of-state to UVA cost me over 30 years?"
- "Which majors have the worst odds of ever breaking even?"
Data freshness & caching
The upstream API is static JSON regenerated with the dataset; this server caches responses in-process for 24 h (matching the API's CDN cache). Nothing is written anywhere; the server is read-only.
