Canvas MCP Overview
The admin978/canvas-mcp MCP server connects local MCP clients to Canvas LMS through the Canvas REST API. It runs over stdio and reads the institution URL and personal access token from ~/.canvas.env, keeping requests in the local client-to-Canvas path without a third-party token broker. Tools retrieve courses, assignments, modules, announcements, pages, file metadata, grades, planner items, upcoming events, and todo items. Reach for it when you want Canvas data available in Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible workflow, particularly across multiple courses.
