# Language Proficiency Mapper MCP

> The Language Proficiency Mapper takes raw scores from any major language exam—IELTS, TOEFL, DELF, etc.—and instantly translates them into the standardized CEFR framework (A1 through C2). It also checks if your resulting level meets specific university or visa minimum requirements for any country.

## Description

Dealing with international admissions or visas means translating complex rules across borders. You don't just need a passing grade; you need proof of a standardized skill set. The Language Proficiency Mapper solves the mess created by wildly different scoring systems. For example, an IELTS band score doesn't map directly to a German university’s minimum requirement. This MCP standardizes that process. First, it translates your raw exam results into the globally recognized CEFR proficiency level. Next, you can use this tool to verify whether that specific level meets the documented requirements for a country or academic program. If you find yourself managing these complex mappings manually, Vinkius hosts this MCP in its catalog, letting your AI client access reliable cross-border validation instantly.

## Tools

### get_cross_exam_equivalency
Compares your proficiency level across multiple major language exams to show equivalent scores.

### map_exam_score_to_cefr
Converts any raw score from a language exam into its corresponding CEFR proficiency grade (A1-C2).

### check_minimum_requirements
Determines if your mapped CEFR level meets the required standard for a specific country and purpose.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I took the DELF exam. I scored B2 in French. What does this mean for admission to a German university?
```

**Response:** 
```
First, let's map your score using `map_exam_score_to_cefr`. Then, we can use `check_minimum_requirements` by setting the country to Germany and the purpose to 'University Enrollment'.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to know if my TOEFL score of 105 is enough for a UK Student Visa.
```

**Response:** 
```
We will first use `map_exam_score_to_cefr` with my TOEFL details. Once we have the CEFR level, I will run `check_minimum_requirements` for 'UK' and 'Student Visa'.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My primary exam is Cambridge C1 Advanced. What are some equivalent levels in TOEFL or DELF?
```

**Response:** 
```
I can run `get_cross_exam_equivalency` for you, specifying 'Cambridge C1 Advanced' and the resulting CEFR level (likely B2). This will give you a helpful comparative map.
```

## Capabilities

### Standardize exam scores
Converts any language test score into the universal CEFR proficiency level (A1 to C2).

### Compare global exams
Determines equivalent proficiency levels between different major language testing bodies.

### Validate entry requirements
Checks if a given CEFR level satisfies the minimum language standards set by a specific country or institution.

## Use Cases

### Applicant needs to know their TOEFL score's global standing
The agent runs `map_exam_score_to_cefr` using the user's TOEFL points. The result provides a CEFR level, which is then fed into `get_cross_exam_equivalency` so the applicant can see how that score stacks up against other exams like IELTS or DELF.

### Admissions office verifies a new curriculum's validity
The officer uses `check_minimum_requirements`. They input the country (e.g., Australia) and purpose ('Bachelor Degree'), then test if the newly standardized CEFR level meets the required minimum standard.

### Student applies for a specialized visa
The agent first uses `map_exam_score_to_cefr` to get the CEFR grade. Then, they pass this result into `check_minimum_requirements`, specifying 'Canada' and 'Study Permit', giving an immediate yes/no answer.

## Benefits

- Eliminate guesswork. Instead of cross-referencing dozens of university websites, you get a single pass/fail status for the required minimum level using `check_minimum_requirements`.
- Understand your value quickly. Use `get_cross_exam_equivalency` to see how your Cambridge score compares directly to TOEFL or DELF benchmarks.
- Standardization is automatic. The MCP uses `map_exam_score_to_cefr` to convert any foreign test score into the universal CEFR scale, removing ambiguity.
- Save research time. You don't need a PhD in global education policy; this tool handles the complex mapping between systems.
- Immediate validation. Know right away if your current status is enough for travel or study before spending money on extra classes.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that it takes disparate test scores and turns them into one clear, actionable pass/fail status against international academic standards.

1. Input your raw test score and specify which exam it came from (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS).
2. The system maps the score to its foundational CEFR level; you can also compare this result against other major exams.
3. Finally, provide the target country and purpose (e.g., 'UK' for 'Student Visa'), and the MCP confirms whether your mapped CEFR level passes or fails the minimum requirement.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the core function of this service?**
The primary function is to use the `map_exam_score_to_cefr` tool. You provide a raw score (e.g., IELTS band 7), and it converts that into the standardized CEFR level (B2). This mapping is critical for all subsequent checks.

**How can I check if my score meets a university's minimum requirement?**
Use the `check_minimum_requirements` tool. Simply input your target country (e.g., Germany), the purpose (University Enrollment), and your current CEFR level. The system will tell you if you pass or fail against hardcoded policy rules.

**I have a B2 score on IELTS; what does that mean for other exams?**
For cross-comparison, use the `get_cross_exam_equivalency` tool. You provide your primary exam and CEFR level (e.g., IELTS, B2), and it retrieves documented advisory equivalencies for other major tests like TOEFL or DELF.

**What input details does `map_exam_score_to_cefr` need to accept?**
It requires the specific name of your exam (like TOEFL or IELTS) and a numerical score. The system translates that raw data into its corresponding CEFR level, giving you A1 through C2.

**If I use `check_minimum_requirements` for an unsupported country, what happens?**
The MCP provides a clear error message stating the region is not supported. You must check our documentation or try querying with a major global location to get accurate results.

**How comprehensive is the comparison using `get_cross_exam_equivalency`?**
The tool compares your score against all recognized major language exams. It delivers a reliable map of equivalents, helping you understand how one test result stacks up globally.

**What is the correct order to determine my eligibility for study using this MCP?**
First, run `map_exam_score_to_cefr` with your actual score. Once you have the resulting CEFR band, then use that specific letter grade in `check_minimum_requirements`.

**What format is guaranteed when using `get_cross_exam_equivalency`?**
The output always provides a clear proficiency level and lists the equivalent score ranges for other major testing bodies. This keeps your comparison map consistent regardless of the input.
