College Scorecard is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.
Choose Create, give it a name, paste the link as the MCP server URL, and save. If it needs a sign-in, ChatGPT asks for it here.
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste the link.
If it needs a sign-in, Claude sends you to it. Then turn the connector on in a chat from the tools menu and ask.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; on Team and Enterprise accounts an admin may need to add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in Claude

Null scorecard_get_earningsInstitution-level earnings of federally aided undergraduate entrants working and not enrolled, regardless of completion.

For graduate program earnings use scorecard_get_programs.scorecard_search_programsFind programs by CIP code across institutions, ranked by median earnings within the fetched school page. Accepts school-side filters (state, ownership, max cost). Minimum earnings is applied locally; totals and pagination count schools before local program filtering. Use scorecarscorecard_compare_schoolsSide-by-side comparison of 2–5 schools with ordinal competition ranks within the selected set (ties share a rank). Topics: costs (tuition, net price by income bracket, debt), admissions (acceptance rate, SAT/ACT, enrollment), outcomes (completion, earnings, repayment), aid (Pell scorecard_value_analysisAnalyze costs, debt, repayment progress, and earnings for one school.
