The Canvas Assignment Assistant MCP Server allows interaction with Canvas courses and assignments through an LLM interface.
The Canvas Assignment Assistant MCP Server is designed to facilitate seamless interaction with Canvas/Instructure courses and assignments directly from a Language Model (LLM) interface, such as Claude Desktop. This server enables users to programmatically retrieve, search, and summarize course and assignment information, making it easier to manage educational tasks without leaving the LLM environment. Users can check due dates, search for specific assignments, and access detailed assignment information in various formats. The server requires a Canvas LMS account, API token, and domain to function, and it integrates with platforms like Claude Desktop and Cursor.
