About QualisMcp
QualisMcp is a C# and .NET 9.0 project for querying Brazil’s Qualis academic-event classifications. It includes an MCP server and client, covers 2017–2020 data, and supports Docker deployment.
Key features
- 01Retrieve event classifications for 2017–2020
- 02Look up classifications by event acronym
- 03Deploy the server with Docker
Use cases
- 01Find the Qualis classification of an academic event
- 02Review event classification information for 2017–2020
MCP support
QualisMcpServer exposes the Sobre and Qualis tools over MCP, providing general classification information and acronym-based event lookups. The project also includes QualisMcpClient for connecting to the server.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Qualis
Qualis, also known as Qualis-Periódicos or Qualis/CAPES, is a Brazilian system for evaluating academic journals, maintained by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). It classifies and ranks the publication vehicles used for disseminating the intellectual output of postgraduate programs of the "stricto sensu" type (master's and doctoral degrees) based on their circulation scope (local, national, or international) and quality (A, B, C), according to the evaluation area. The Qualis values for Scientific Events are updated according to the 2017-2020 Quadrennial.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a framework designed to facilitate communication between distributed systems by defining a standardized protocol for exchanging structured data. It enables seamless interaction between clients and servers, focusing on simplicity, scalability, and flexibility. MCP is particularly useful in scenarios where systems need to share complex data models while maintaining a clear and consistent context.
Overview
By leveraging MCP, the QualisMcp project ensures efficient data exchange and robust communication between its server and client components, enabling accurate retrieval and management of event classifications. For more details, visit the official MCP documentation.
Features

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
