Canvas MCP

Ask Claude, Cursor or VS Code about your Canvas courses, deadlines and grades. Reads Canvas with your own sign-in, no API token.

Canvas MCP lets the AI app you already use answer questions about your Canvas courses: "what's due this week?", "which assignments am I missing?", "what's my grade in each class?" How it works The extension reads Canvas through the session you are already signed in to in Chrome. There is no API token to create and nothing to paste. It hands what it reads to a small companion program on your own computer, and your AI app asks that program over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Connect one from the extension's popup in a click. Then ask. If Canvas MCP does not know your school's Canvas address yet, the AI asks you for it. What the AI can read Courses, assignments with due dates and submission status, grades and grade weights, calendar events, your Canvas to-do list (including grading, for TAs), modules, announcements, discussions, pages, files, the syllabus and your profile. It is read-only: it cannot submit, post or change anything on Canvas. Privacy The extension sends Canvas data only to the companion program on your own computer. There is no Canvas MCP server, and nothing goes to the developer. Your AI app sends what it reads to its own model provider, as it does with anything you ask it.
