Enables Claude to interact with Canvas LMS, allowing natural language queries about courses, deadlines, grades, and feedback.
README
Canvas MCP
MCP server for Claude Desktop that connects to the Canvas LMS API. Ask Claude about your courses, deadlines, grades, and feedback directly from your chat interface.
How it works
Canvas MCP exposes 29 tools across six categories: courses, deadlines, grades, content, communication, and planning. Once connected, you can ask Claude things like "what assignments are due this week" or "how am I doing in my algorithms course" and get answers pulled directly from Canvas.
Deadlines are classified into four urgency levels: critical, urgent, attention, and okay. You can export your schedule as an .ics file compatible with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Twelve pre-built prompts cover the most common study workflows, including a morning briefing and a catch-up plan.
Currently configured for Fontys. Other institutions can be added via the CANVAS_BASE_URL environment variable.
