Documentation Overview

brightspace-mcp

CI Docs npm version License: MIT Node.js

πŸ“– Full documentation site β†’

MCP server for D2L Brightspace. Gives Claude (and any MCP-compatible client) access to your courses, grades, assignments, content, calendar, and more β€” with multi-strategy authentication, full MFA support, and production-grade resilience built in.


Quick start

Terminal
npx brightspace-mcp@latest setup   # interactive wizard (recommended for first time)

The interactive wizard handles everything: base URL, auth strategy, MFA, credential storage, and auto-registration with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf.

For CI pipelines or DevContainers with no TTY, use the non-interactive init command instead:

Terminal
npx brightspace-mcp@latest init \
  --base-url https://yourschool.brightspace.com \
  --strategy api_token \
  --token-ref env:BRIGHTSPACE_API_TOKEN

Installation

npx (recommended β€” no install needed)

Terminal
npx brightspace-mcp@latest setup   # first-time wizard
npx brightspace-mcp@latest serve   # run the server

Global install

Terminal

brightspace-mcp serve

From source

bash
git clone https://github.com/JhostinAleck/brightspace-mcp.git
cd brightspace-mcp
npm install && npm run build
node build/cli/main.js serve

Requirements: Node.js β‰₯ 20.


Authentication strategies

Pick the strategy that matches your Brightspace setup. Run npx brightspace-mcp@latest setup and it will walk you through the right one.

API Token (simplest)

Requires a Valence API token from your Brightspace admin panel.

yaml
profiles:
  my_school:
    base_url: https://school.brightspace.com
    auth:
      strategy: api_token
      api_token:
        token_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_API_TOKEN
server.ts
export BRIGHTSPACE_API_TOKEN="your-token"
npx brightspace-mcp@latest serve

Headless (username + password)

Automates HTTP-level login β€” no browser window. Supports all MFA strategies including Duo Push.

yaml
profiles:
  my_school:
    base_url: https://school.brightspace.com
    auth:
      strategy: headless
      headless:
        login_url: https://school.brightspace.com/d2l/login
        username_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_USERNAME
        password_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_PASSWORD
        mfa:
          strategy: duo_push     # or: totp, manual_prompt, none
          duo_push: {}           # uses defaults: poll every 1s, timeout 120s

Browser (Playwright)

Launches a headless Chromium instance and automates the login UI. Best for SSO flows (Microsoft Azure AD, SAML) where the login page has complex JavaScript.

Terminal
npm install playwright && npx playwright install chromium
yaml
auth:
  strategy: browser
  browser:
    login_url: https://school.brightspace.com/d2l/login
    headless: true
    username_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_USERNAME
    password_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_PASSWORD
    selectors:
      username: "#i0116"
      password: "#i0118"
      submit: "#idSIButton9"
      password_submit: "#idSIButton9"
      mfa_input: "#idTxtBx_SAOTCC_OTC"
      mfa_submit: "#idSubmit_SAOTCC_Continue"
      post_login: "d2l-labs-navigation"
    mfa:
      strategy: totp
      totp:
        secret_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_TOTP_SECRET

The setup wizard includes a Microsoft SSO preset that fills all selectors automatically.

Session Cookie

Paste the D2L session cookies from your browser's DevTools. Useful when other strategies are blocked.

yaml
auth:
  strategy: session_cookie
  session_cookie:
    cookie_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_COOKIE
    session_ttl_seconds: 3600
server.ts
# Cookie format: "d2lSessionVal=XXX; d2lSecureSessionVal=YYY"
export BRIGHTSPACE_COOKIE="d2lSessionVal=...; d2lSecureSessionVal=..."

MFA strategies

StrategyWhen to use
noneNo MFA on your account
totpAuthenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
duo_pushDuo Security β€” server polls for mobile approval automatically
manual_promptAny TOTP/OTP β€” server pauses and asks you to paste the code

TOTP example

yaml
mfa:
  strategy: totp
  totp:
    secret_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_TOTP_SECRET   # base32 secret from QR code setup
    digits: 6       # 6 or 8
    period: 30      # seconds
    algorithm: SHA1 # SHA1, SHA256, or SHA512

Duo Push example

yaml
mfa:
  strategy: duo_push
  duo_push:
    poll_interval_ms: 1000   # how often to check (default: 1000)
    timeout_ms: 120000       # give up after this many ms (default: 120000)

Configuration reference

Full config file (~/.brightspace-mcp/config.yaml):

yaml
default_profile: my_school

profiles:
  my_school:
    base_url: https://school.brightspace.com
    auth:
      strategy: api_token          # api_token | browser | headless | session_cookie | oauth
      api_token:
        token_ref: env:BRIGHTSPACE_API_TOKEN
    session:
      cache_backend: memory        # memory | file | redis
      preemptive_refresh_seconds: 300

output:
  tz: America/Bogota               # IANA timezone; default: auto-detected from system
  locale: es-419                   # en-US | es-419 | pt-BR | fr-CA; default: auto-detected
  format: markdown                 # markdown (default) | plain
  include_meta_footer: true

logging:
  level: info                      # debug | info | warn | error

writes:
  enabled: false
  dry_run: false

# Optional β€” required when session.cache_backend: redis
redis:
  url: redis://localhost:6379
  key_prefix: "brightspace:"

Credential references

Secret values are never stored in plain text. Use ref: notation to point to the actual value:

PrefixExampleDescription
env:NAMEenv:BRIGHTSPACE_API_TOKENRead from environment variable
keychain:service/accountkeychain:brightspace-mcp/tokenOS keychain (macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring, Windows Credential Manager)
file:labelfile:api_tokenEncrypted file (~/.brightspace-mcp/credentials.enc, AES-256-GCM)

Output: timezone and language

All tool responses are formatted in your configured timezone and language.

yaml
output:
  tz: America/Bogota       # IANA name; default: auto-detected from system
  locale: es-419           # en-US | es-419 | pt-BR | fr-CA; default: auto-detected
  format: markdown         # markdown (default) | plain
  include_meta_footer: true

Run brightspace-mcp setup and choose your timezone and language. Or set it in ~/.brightspace-mcp/config.yaml.


Redis cache

When running multiple instances or want cache persistence across restarts, enable Redis:

1. Add the redis section to config:

yaml
redis:
  url: redis://localhost:6379
  key_prefix: "brightspace:"

profiles:
  my_school:
    session:
      cache_backend: redis

2. Install ioredis (optional dependency):

Terminal
npm install ioredis

3. Start Redis and the server:

Terminal
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine
npx brightspace-mcp@latest serve

The domain cache (courses, grades, assignments, etc.) automatically uses Redis as persistent layer when the redis: section is present in config. Session tokens are stored with TTL derived from the token expiry.


Write operations

Write tools (submit_assignment, post_discussion_reply, mark_announcement_read) are disabled by default and require two separate opt-ins:

1. Config file:

yaml
writes:
  enabled: true
  dry_run: false   # set true to preview without mutating D2L

2. CLI flag:

Terminal
npx brightspace-mcp@latest serve --enable-writes
