Guided planning for finishing a college degree
Overview
The StraighterLine Degree Planner builds a route to graduation from a set of stated constraints. A guided sequence collects degree level, intended major, hours available each week, budget, target timeline, learning style, and any school preferences.
What comes back is a multi-phase roadmap with cost estimates and a realism score, plus notes on which parts of the plan hold up and which do not. Scenarios can be varied and the plan adjusted as inputs change, with practical recommendations attached at each step.
Example questions in the record include planning a nursing degree under a fixed budget and finding ways to cut both cost and time to completion.
Adult learners and returning students weighing cost and timeline against a degree they want to finish.
The output includes a realism score against the stated budget and weekly study hours, not just a course sequence.
Availability
StraighterLine Degree Planner is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. StraighterLine has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from StraighterLine Degree Planner's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with StraighterLine, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
