## Description

Figuring out scholarship status is a headache. You need to juggle specific formulas for calculating income multipliers while cross-referencing your academic performance with institutional cutoffs. Manually tracking all that data—the minimum wage thresholds, the public school bonuses, the per capita requirements—is slow and you're always worried about missing one rule.

This MCP handles the entire process. You input basic details like family income and how many people live at home. It calculates your official per capita income, then uses that figure to assign a specific scholarship eligibility tier. Based on both that tier and your ENEM scores, it filters out available courses and even shows you which universities in your area participate in ProUni. Because this is financial data tied to academic opportunity, the entire workflow runs through Vinkius’s zero-trust proxy, meaning your sensitive keys are used only when needed and never stored on a disk.

## Tools

### determine_eligibility_tier
Assigns a scholarship eligibility tier by comparing the calculated per capita income to established minimum wage thresholds.

### identify_eligible_courses
Filters and lists specific college courses you qualify for, taking into account your academic scores, public school status, and financial tier.

### calculate_per_capita_income
Calculates your individual share of the family income based on total gross income and household size.

### query_university_locations
Retrieves a list of universities participating in ProUni programs that are located within a specified city.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
My family's gross income is 60,000 and there are 4 members. I scored well in Science.
```

**Response:** 
```
First, we calculate your per capita income using `calculate_per_capita_income`. Based on that result and your ENEM scores, I can then run the `identify_eligible_courses` tool to suggest majors you qualify for.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I want to know which universities are in São Paulo that offer ProUni programs.
```

**Response:** 
```
I will use the `query_university_locations` tool with 'São Paulo' as the city. This provides a list of available universities and campuses for your planning.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My per capita income is 1800, and I attended a public school. What tier am I in?
```

**Response:** 
```
The `determine_eligibility_tier` tool will analyze your income against the 1.5x and 3x minimum wage thresholds to provide a definitive scholarship tier, which is crucial for all subsequent checks.
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate family income metrics
It determines your per capita income using gross family income and the number of members.

### Determine scholarship level
It assigns a definitive scholarship tier based solely on your calculated household income.

### Filter available majors
It narrows down the list of potential courses you can actually qualify for, factoring in your scores and financial tier.

### Locate participating schools
It lists universities that participate in ProUni programs within a specific city you provide.

## Use Cases

### Advising a student after the ENEM exam.
A counselor takes a student's gross income and runs `calculate_per_capita_income`. Next, they use `determine_eligibility_tier` to set the scholarship status. Finally, they feed that tier into `identify_eligible_courses`, giving the student an immediate list of viable majors.

### Planning for a move to a new city.
A parent moves and needs to know local options. They immediately use `query_university_locations` with their new zip code to see all available ProUni campuses before doing any further research.

### Reviewing initial scholarship data.
Someone has an income of 60,000 and four members. They run `calculate_per_capita_income` first to confirm the base number, then use that result to check their tier with `determine_eligibility_tier`.

### Finding the best fit for a public school graduate.
A student who attended a public school needs specific course filtering. They combine their ENEM scores and status, running this through `identify_eligible_courses` to get majors that include the required score bonus.

## Benefits

- Avoid guessing games. Instead of relying on manual calculations, use `calculate_per_capita_income` to instantly get the official per capita figure needed for all subsequent checks.
- Stop worrying about conflicting rules. The `determine_eligibility_tier` tool analyzes your income against established wage thresholds (1.5x and 3x minimum wage) to give you a definitive scholarship status.
- Don't waste time browsing irrelevant majors. Running `identify_eligible_courses` filters the massive catalog down to only the programs you can afford and qualify for based on your scores.
- Know where you can go. Use `query_university_locations` to get a list of all ProUni-participating campuses in a city, so you know exactly which options are local.
- Build complex advice from simple inputs. By chaining these tools—calculating income, determining tier, and then identifying courses—you build an automated eligibility report that's far more reliable than spreadsheets.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a clear map of what studies are available to you without needing to consult multiple government or university websites.

1. Input your family's total gross income and the number of people living in the household.
2. The system calculates your per capita income, then uses that figure to assign an official scholarship eligibility tier.
3. Finally, it checks your ENEM scores against the assigned tier to list qualifying courses and shows local universities that participate.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does calculate_per_capita_income work with my family data?**
It takes your total gross income and divides it by the number of members in your household to get an accurate per capita figure. This is the fundamental metric needed for all other checks.

**Can determine_eligibility_tier tell me if I qualify?**
Yes, it analyzes your income against established minimum wage thresholds (specifically 1.5x and 3x) to assign a definitive scholarship tier. This status is crucial for the next steps.

**What determines which courses are available using identify_eligible_courses?**
The tool combines three data points: your assigned eligibility tier, whether you attended a public school, and your ENEM scores to narrow down qualifying majors.

**Do I need query_university_locations for my area?**
If you know the city where you want to study, running `query_university_locations` immediately gives you a list of all local universities that participate in ProUni programs.

**How secure is my family income when I run `calculate_per_capita_income`?**
Your financial data passes through a zero-trust proxy, meaning your keys are never stored on disk. The MCP uses cryptographic signatures to ensure every single calculation performed by the tool call is tamper-proof.

**What happens if my ENEM scores are incomplete when using `identify_eligible_courses`?**
The system won't guess; it will flag the missing data point. The MCP tells you exactly which inputs, like specific score categories, it needs to run the course identification tool successfully.

**Are there limits if I need to check many cities using `query_university_locations`?**
Vinkius manages rate limiting automatically for you. You don't have to worry about hitting a usage cap, even when running queries across multiple different cities and regions.
