# PantherWatch

> PantherWatch (https://www.pantherwatch.app) is a free, student-built course browser for Georgia State University (GSU). It shows live seats and waitlists from GSU's registration system (GoSolar), meeting times, GSU grade history per course and professor, RateMyProfessors ratings and syllabi, and emails signed-in students when a seat opens in a class they track. Not affiliated with Georgia State University.

Course data is available as a public JSON API (no key, CORS-enabled). Use it instead of scraping the results pages, and keep to at most 1 request per second.

AI assistants and agents that support MCP connectors (for example Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor) should connect to https://www.pantherwatch.app/api/mcp (remote MCP server, OAuth): the student allows it once, and the assistant can find a course by name ("calculus 2" → MATH 2212), search courses, read prerequisites and restrictions, summarize a section's syllabus (grading, exams, attendance, textbook), check conflicts, track sections and edit the student's schedule.

Signed-in students can also chat with PantherWatch Assistant, the built-in assistant at https://www.pantherwatch.app/assistant. It uses the same tools as the MCP connector; it has no public API.
