What this is

Zooza MCP Server is a free, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Zooza — the class management and scheduling software for dance schools, language academies, swim schools, music schools, STEAM programmes, sports clubs, and other activity businesses.

It lets activity managers, school administrators, and franchise operators manage schedules, track attendance, create classes, handle bookings, and query their data through natural language conversation — using Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI client — without opening the Zooza dashboard.

Zooza powers 500,000+ learners across Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, the UK, and beyond — from single-location dance schools to international franchise networks. This MCP server brings the same platform to any AI client that speaks the Model Context Protocol.

What you can do

Take attendance

<img src="docs/screenshots/screenshot-programmes.png" alt="Show active programmes in Claude" width="720"/>

"Open the register for tonight's adult ballet class."
"Who was absent from Saturday's Spanish beginners session?"
"Mark everyone present in today's robotics group."
"Add a note to this week's yoga class — we covered breathing techniques."

Build a term from scratch

<img src="docs/screenshots/screenshot-create-class.png" alt="Create a new class in Claude" width="720"/>

"Create a new Spanish for beginners course for Spring 2026 at the city centre location.
 Classes every Tuesday 16:00–17:00 for 12 weeks, starting 3 March.
 Assign trainer Tomáš Novák and preview the full schedule before I confirm."

<img src="docs/screenshots/screenshot-schedule-preview.png" alt="Schedule preview before confirming" width="720"/>

"Set up our summer robotics camp — Monday to Friday, 9:00–13:00, for 4 weeks in July.
 Split into two age groups: 6–9 and 10–14. Preview both before I confirm."

Turn a photo into a full term — no blank page

Building a season by hand means two days of typing into empty forms. Instead, hand the assistant whatever you already have — a whiteboard photo, a hand-drawn sketch, a spreadsheet screenshot — and it drafts the whole term for you to review before anything goes live.

"Here's a photo of our autumn whiteboard — create these classes in my account, starting Monday the 8th."
"Screenshot of our timetable spreadsheet attached. Build the full term, respecting our holiday calendar."

You always see a preview table and calendar first, and nothing is created until you confirm — you bring the intent, you keep the final say. Read how one brand turned a single photo into 68 live classes across venues: From a photo to a full term of live classes.

Get instant answers

"Which programmes are running this billing period?"
"Who's teaching dance on Monday evenings?"
"Which STEAM courses still have free capacity this term?"
"What sessions are scheduled for tomorrow?"

Manage bookings

"Show unpaid registrations from this season."
"Which clients are on the waiting list for Saturday gymnastics?"
"How many spots are left in the beginner English course?"

Ask for any report — in plain language

No report modules, no spreadsheet formulas. Ask a business question the way you actually think about it, and the assistant pulls the real numbers and lays them out — shaped around your question, not a fixed dashboard.

"Who's at which venue each day this week?"
"Which instructors are stretched thin, and who has room for more?"
"What grew and what shrank between the spring and summer terms?"
"How many seats does my whole operation actually have right now?"

Reporting only ever reads — it never touches bookings, classes, or payments, so you can explore freely. More on how brands use this: Custom reports, just by asking.

No clicking through menus. No switching tabs. No automation scripts. Just ask — Claude handles the lookups, rosters, previews, and confirmations.

How it works

You → Claude / ChatGPT → Zooza MCP Server → Zooza API → Your data

The MCP server is stateless and hosted by Zooza at mcp.zooza.app. You don't run anything locally. Every request is authenticated against your Zooza account — Claude can only see and change what you're already allowed to access in the dashboard.

Every write operation requires explicit confirmation before anything is committed — Claude shows you what it's about to create or change, and only proceeds when you confirm.

Regions: EU (SK/CZ/DE/RO/HU/IT/PL), UK, US, and Asia regions are all supported. Your account is automatically routed to the correct regional infrastructure.

Multi-location and franchise accounts: Claude will ask which location to operate on at the start of each session. You can switch mid-conversation — useful for comparing across sites or managing a network.

---

Languages & regions

Zooza MCP is designed for multilingual, multi-market operation. It understands regional terminology differences out of the box:

Market	Language	How Zooza users say it
Slovakia	Slovak	kurzy (programmes), hodiny (sessions), dochádzka (attendance)
Czech Republic	Czech	kurzy / lekce (sessions), evidence docházky (attendance)
Germany / Austria	German	Kurse (courses), Stunden (sessions), Stundenplan (schedule)
UK	English	terms, registers, classes
Romania, Hungary, Italy, Poland	Local + English	supported

The negotiate_terminology tool lets Claude learn your business's specific vocabulary once and use it in every future conversation — so if you call programmes "kurzy" and sessions "hodiny," Claude will always respond in your terms.

onboarding-profile	Guided first-run setup — identifies the business model, aligns vocabulary, and walks through the full setup checklist.
class-management	Full guided flow for creating a class: interview → schedule preview → confirmation.
schedule-optimization	Build a whole weekly timetable for a new term — optimise from scratch or roll over the current period.
communication	Guided client email flow: work out the audience, pick a template or compose, preview recipient counts, send after confirmation.
report-discovery	Maps a business symptom ("feels like fewer kids coming") to the right metric and report.
report-compose	Build a focused, single-question report from the operator's real data — no invented numbers.
business-model-validator	Check whether a proposed programme structure fits Zooza's pricing and billing model before building it.
negotiate-terminology	Interview the operator about their vocabulary and save the profile to Claude memory.
feedback-nudge	Draft and submit a bug report or feature request to the Zooza engineering team.

Security & compliance

• TLS on all traffic between your AI client and mcp.zooza.app
• OAuth 2.0 — Claude receives a scoped token tied to your Zooza identity, not your password
• Permission inheritance — Claude can only do what your Zooza account allows
• Confirmation before write — all operations that create or change records require explicit confirmation
• Stateless server — the MCP server holds no session state between requests. For security and debugging, Zooza keeps a server-side audit log of tool calls (which tool ran, its arguments, and the result); it stays within Zooza's own infrastructure and is never shared with third parties
• GDPR-ready — Zooza processes data in accordance with GDPR. See the Privacy Policy and Terms of Personal Data Processing. EU accounts are routed to EU-region infrastructure.
• Regional data routing — EU, UK, US, and Asia regions each route to their own infrastructure; your JWT determines the region automatically

Queries to Zooza MCP may be processed by your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). Review their data policies alongside Zooza's when evaluating compliance requirements. All write operations require explicit confirmation before execution.

What Zooza is

Zooza is an end-to-end class management and scheduling software platform for activity brands:

Dance & movement — dance academies, gymnastics, baby movement classes, yoga
Language & education — language schools, tutoring centres, STEAM / robotics / coding
Sports — martial arts, swim schools, tennis academies, sports clubs and franchises
Camps & seasonal — summer camps, holiday programmes, weekend workshops
Music — music schools, instrument lessons, group and individual programmes

For developers

<details> <summary>Local development setup</summary>

Run locally

git clone https://github.com/zooza-dev/zooza-mcp-server
cd zooza-mcp-server
npm install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in credentials
npm run dev            # http://localhost:3001/mcp

Want to self-host, contribute, or build on top of this? The setup takes under 5 minutes — see the architecture section below.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
ZOOZA_API_BASE	yes	Zooza API base URL (e.g. http://php-server/v1)
ZOOZA_API_KEY	yes	Server-wide API key for the MCP integration
MCP_RESOURCE_URL	prod	Public URL of this MCP server
MCP_AUTH_SERVER_URL	prod	Zooza OAuth server base URL
PORT	no	HTTP port (default 3001)
ZOOZA_SERVER_REGION	no	eu (default) / uk / us / asia
ZOOZA_ALLOW_HARDCODED_AUTH	dev only	Set true to skip JWT validation locally
ZOOZA_API_TOKEN	dev only	Dev-fallback token (only with hardcoded auth enabled)
AUDIT_LOG_PATH	no	Per-tool-call JSONL audit log path (default logs/audit.log)

Smoke test

curl -sS http://localhost:3001/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Debug bookend workflow

Every tool call appends one JSON line to logs/audit.log. Each entry carries request_id, tool, args, outcome, result-or-error, and duration_ms.

Bookend pattern for debugging:

1. "I'm about to call sessions_find_events." → Claude records the log line count
2. Run the tool from your MCP client
3. "done." → Claude reads the new lines and reports what the server saw

Architecture

Claude / ChatGPT (any MCP client)
    │  Streamable HTTP over TLS
    ▼
mcp.zooza.app  (Node.js / TypeScript — stateless)
    │  OAuth 2.0 JWT validation + regional routing
    ▼
Zooza API  (your data, your permissions)

The skills layer is a differentiator worth noting: skills are .md playbooks delivered as MCP prompts resources. An operator installs them locally (/install-plugin) and Claude loads the relevant one automatically. If you're building a vertical MCP server for another domain, the skills architecture is reusable — it separates "what tools do" from "how to use them together."
