# GPA Calculator MCP > GPA Calculator MCP helps you calculate weighted GPAs for US and Brazilian grading systems. It handles complex credits, honors status, and scale conversions in one place. Use it to track academic progress accurately without manual math. ## Overview - **Category:** education - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** gpa, grading, academic, conversion, student ## Description The GPA Calculator MCP handles the math behind academic transcripts for students and advisors who need precision. Instead of juggling different formulas for 4.0 and 10.0 scales, you just feed in your grades and credits. It figures out your weighted average, tells you if you've hit honors status, and keeps track of your total credits. If you're moving between systems, it handles the normalization for you. It's a core part of the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your agent for quick grade checks. You don't have to worry about whether a specific course weight is applied correctly or if your Brazilian grade translates properly to a US standard. It just gives you the numbers you need to make decisions about graduation or financial aid. ## Tools ### compare_semesters Compares your performance trends between two different academic periods. ### compute_weighted_gpa Calculates your weighted GPA, honors status, and total credits. ### convert_grade_scale Normalizes a grade from one academic system to another. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Calculate my GPA for this semester: Math (Grade 4.0, 3 credits) and History (Grade 3.0, 2 credits) on the US scale. ``` **Response:** ``` Your weighted GPA is 3.6, which qualifies you for Cum Laude honors. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Compare my performance: Current semester (Grade 8.0, 4 credits) vs Previous semester (Grade 7.0, 4 credits) on the BR scale. ``` **Response:** ``` Your GPA increased by 1.0, showing an Improved performance trend. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Convert a grade of 8.5 from the Brazilian scale to the US scale. ``` **Response:** ``` A grade of 8.5 on the Brazilian scale is equivalent to 3.4 on the US scale. ``` ## Capabilities ### Calculate weighted GPAs Get your weighted average and honors status in one go. ### Compare semester trends See how your performance changed between two different periods. ### Convert grade scales Turn a 10.0 Brazilian grade into a 4.0 US equivalent instantly. ### Track total credits Keep a running tally of your completed academic units. ### Determine honors eligibility Find out if your current grades qualify for academic honors. ## Use Cases ### Checking honors eligibility A student wants to know if they're on track for honors. They ask their agent to use compute_weighted_gpa with their current semester's data. ### Analyzing performance trends An advisor needs to see if a student's grades are improving. They ask the agent to use compare_semesters for the last two years. ### Converting international grades A student moving from Brazil to the US needs to know their grade equivalent. They ask the agent to use convert_grade_scale on an 8.5 mark. ### Verifying total credits A registrar needs to check if a student's weighted average meets a specific threshold. They use compute_weighted_gpa to get the total credit count and GPA. ## Benefits - Stop doing manual math by using compute_weighted_gpa to handle all grade weights and credits at once. - See clear progress trends by using compare_semesters to look at how your grades shifted between years. - Move between systems easily with convert_grade_scale to turn Brazilian 10.0 marks into US 4.0 equivalents. - Get instant honors status so you know exactly where you stand for graduation requirements. - Reduce errors in financial aid reporting by using precise, weighted calculations for every course. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get accurate academic data without doing manual arithmetic. 1. Input your grades, credits, and the specific scale into your agent. 2. The MCP processes the weights and calculates the averages. 3. You get a summary of your GPA, honors status, and any comparative trends. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Does the GPA Calculator MCP support the Brazilian 10.0 scale?** Yes, it can normalize grades from the Brazilian 10.0 system to other scales like the US 4.0. **Can I use the GPA Calculator MCP to see my honors status?** Yes, the compute_weighted_gpa tool identifies if you qualify for academic honors based on your grades. **How does the GPA Calculator MCP handle weighted credits?** It uses the compute_weighted_gpa tool to factor in the credit hours for each specific course. **Can the GPA Calculator MCP compare my grades from last year?** Yes, you can use compare_semesters to see how your performance changed between two specific periods. **Does the GPA Calculator MCP do conversions for all countries?** It specifically handles normalization between common scales like the US 4.0 and Brazilian 10.0 systems. **Which AI clients support the GPA Calculator MCP?** It works with any MCP-compatible client.
