Module 4 – MCP Data Modeling Structure

In this module, we design a complete data model for the Attendance Tracking System. This data model will be carried across all further MCP commands and backend logic.

📌 Real-World Scenario

• 2 Courses: 8-semester degree, 4-semester diploma
• 14 Staff members
• 6 Subjects per semester
• 60 Students per semester
• Odd Semesters → 1,3,5,7
• Even Semesters → 2,4,6,8
• Each semester has a 40-hour weekly timetable

🎯 Goal of This Module

Define a clean MCP-ready data model with all entities, relationships, and JSON structures.

📘 Entities We Will Model

• Course
• Semester
• Subject
• Staff
• Student
• Timetable
• Attendance Records

🛠️ CLI Commands for MCP Integration

# Register data model inside MCP configuration
mcp set model attendance_model.json --namespace academic_tracker

# Push initial dataset
tool push academic_tracker attendance_model.json

🎉 Module 4 Complete!

You now have a fully structured MCP-compliant data model for the entire University Attendance System.
