Google Classroom Student MCP Overview

google-classroom-student-mcp connects an MCP-compatible AI app to Google Classroom through the Classroom API, exposing read-only student data.

  • Find assignments that still need to be submitted
  • Check overdue and upcoming work across classes
  • Review grades and teacher comments
  • Calculate points needed to reach a target percentage
