What This Skill Does
Fetches public data from The Ohio State University Content APIs (content.osu.edu) across 13+ campus services, including dining, bus routes, buildings, events, parking, classes, and student organizations. Works via direct HTTP fetch, a Node.js helper script, or a bundled MCP server.
Covers 13+ OSU campus data sources through a single interface with no authentication required, so there is no need to manually locate endpoints or write custom fetch logic per service.
When to use it
- Checking dining hall menus before heading to campus
- Looking up real-time bus vehicle locations between classes
- Finding parking garage availability before driving in
- Searching upcoming campus events within a date range
- Building a class search tool using OSU course catalog data
