Canvas

Overview

Canvas is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Manage courses, submissions, grades, and student data in Canvas LMS. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.

It runs locally: the Python package mcparmory-canvas (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v1.0.3, with source at mcparmory/registry on GitHub, where it has earned 30 stars.

You'll find Canvas in the Design category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
