Canvas LMS, Exposed to Your AI Agent
An MCP server that lets AI clients read and act on Canvas LMS data, from deadlines and grades to course files and assignment submissions.
Field notes
The documented workflow uses an MCP client configuration with CANVAS_API_TOKEN, CANVAS_BASE_URL, and an optional role such as student. The tool surface spans both read and write operations: users can inspect projected grades, missing work, modules, files, announcements, and inbox threads, while also submitting text, URLs, or files and posting discussion replies. A raw GraphQL passthrough is listed alongside higher-level shortcuts such as term_snapshot and pass_status.
