Overview

AI-generated overview

CounselorAI gives an assistant tools to draft college recommendation and financial aid appeal letters, analyze aid award letters, and explain aid options.

What you can do
  • Draft and revise counselor letters: recommendation letters from notes, financial aid appeal letters, and instruction-based revisions
  • Critique and translate: analyze a finished recommendation letter for vague or unsupported claims, and translate counselor output while keeping aid terms in English
  • Analyze financial aid: break down award letters, build a FAFSA action checklist, and explain likely aid outcomes across schools
  • Search scholarships: find current scholarship pages as research leads
  • Prepare student profiles: turn raw counselor notes into a structured profile for use in later calls
  • Manage credits: check remaining balance and get a free cost quote for a tool call
When to use it
Useful for school counselors, students and families working through college applications and financial aid: drafting or reviewing letters, comparing award letters, planning FAFSA steps, or finding scholarships. The free quote and balance tools make it easy to budget before billed calls.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint; no local install. An API key sent in the Authorization header, which can be created as a free test key. Billed tools draw on prepaid credits, so an account with a balance is needed for anything beyond the free tools.
Before you install
Most tools spend credits per call, roughly 0.07 to 0.37 dollars each, and the scholarship search is the slowest and costliest. Student and family details, including income band and counselor notes, are sent to a third-party service. Outputs are drafts and explanations, not official aid determinations, and scholarship results are unverified leads.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open CounselorAI in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.The-825%2Fcounselorai/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

appeal

Financial aid appeal letter

Draft a financial aid appeal letter to a college financial aid office. Call this when a family needs to ask for a review of an award: income dropped, an expense appeared, another school offered more, or the FAFSA was wrong. Returns the letter, not advice on whether to appeal. Runs a 5-step drafting pipeline, so it is the most expensive tool here and the slowest, typically 30 to 60 seconds. Cost: about 353 credits (~$0.353) per call.

ParameterslengthstatuscompetingappealTypekeyDetailsrequiredschoolNamenaturalnessstudentNameamountNeededcurrentAwardcounselorName

rec

Letter of recommendation

Draft a letter of recommendation from counselor notes. Call this to WRITE a letter. To critique one that already exists, call letterlens instead, which is much cheaper. Runs the same 5-step pipeline as appeal. Cost: about 369 credits (~$0.369) per call.

ParametersmajorstorytraitsrequiredpurposeschoolsprofTyperecipientresumeTextsampleTextselectivitystudentNamecontribution+2 more

letterlens

Review a letter

Analyze a finished recommendation letter and return specific fixes: what is vague, what is asserted without evidence, what reads as generated. Read-only and far cheaper than drafting. Use it to critique a draft, not to rewrite one, and use revision to apply the fixes. Cost: about 93 credits (~$0.093) per call.

ParametersfocuspurposeletterTextrequired

awardlens

Read an award letter

Break down one to three financial aid award letters: what is grant, what is loan, what is work-study that has to be earned, what the supported net price is, and what renewal conditions are buried in the language. Identifies missing facts and questions for the aid office. With more than one letter it compares them side by side. Read-only. Cost: about 173 credits (~$0.173) per call.

Parametersletter1requiredletter2letter3studentNamescorecardData

fafsa

FAFSA checklist

Produce a FAFSA action checklist for one student, keyed to their grade, dependency status and income band. Answers the process question a family actually has: what do we do, in what order, by when. Does not compute an award. Cost: about 87 credits (~$0.087) per call.

ParametersgradenotesincomeschoolsspecialstimelinedependencystudentName

aid

Aid estimate explainer

Explain what a family is likely to see across a list of schools and why, in plain language. An explanation for a counselor to walk a family through, never an official determination, and the output says so. Cost: about 73 credits (~$0.073) per call.

ParametersincomecontextschoolCountstudentNamefafsaContextrepayContextschoolSummaries

scholarship

Scholarship research links

Search for current scholarship pages to review. A page in the result is a research lead, not a verified match. Confirm program terms, deadline, and student eligibility on the sponsor page before advising the student. Live web search makes this slower and costlier than the other analysis tools. Cost: about 165 credits (~$0.165) per call.

ParametersgpagrademajornotesstateactivitiesbackgroundsstudentName

profile

Student profile summary

Turn raw counselor notes into a structured student profile. Run this first when working one student across several tools: it is cheap, and its output is good input for the relationship, traits and story fields on rec, or keyDetails on appeal. Cost: about 87 credits (~$0.087) per call.

ParameterstagsgoalsgrademajornotesschoolacademicsstrengthsactivitieschallengesstudentName

revision

Revise a draft

Apply one instruction to an existing letter and return the revised text. Pair it with letterlens: review to find the problems, revise to fix them. Changes only what the instruction asks for. Cost: about 97 credits (~$0.097) per call.

ParameterscurrentTextrequiredinstructionrequired

translate

Translate for families

Translate counselor-facing output into a family's language, holding the financial aid terms in English on purpose. FAFSA, Pell, SAI, COA and the loan names stay untranslated so a family can match what the school actually sends them against what they were told. Read-only. Cost: about 173 credits (~$0.173) per call.

ParameterssourceTextrequiredtargetLangrequired

humanize

Humanize reader-facing text

Rewrite reader-facing prose so it sounds direct, specific, and personal without changing facts or inventing a voice. Use it for outreach, emails, letters, posts, and narrative copy. It preserves quoted text and checks the result against the source. It does not evade or promise to beat AI detectors. Do not use it for code, SQL, JSON, legal text, or technical specifications. Cost: about 413 credits (~$0.413) per call.

ParameterstextrequiredaudiencestrengthpreserveFormatting

account_balance

Check remaining credits

Free. Returns the credits left on this API key. Call it before a long run of billed calls.

Takes no parameters.

quote_call

Quote a tool call before paying for it

Free. Validates the input for a tool and returns the exact credit hold a real call would take at your price, plus whether your balance covers it. Use it to budget before a billed call or to lint an input for free.
