Bulk grading workflows for Canvas LMS assignments using rubrics. Covers single grading, batch grading, and code execution strategies with safety-first dry runs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Canvas Bulk Grading

Grade Canvas LMS assignments efficiently using rubric-based workflows. This skill requires the Canvas MCP server to be running and authenticated with an instructor or TA token.

## Prerequisites

- Canvas MCP server running and connected
- Authenticated with an **educator** (instructor/TA) Canvas API token
- Assignment must exist and have submissions to grade
- Rubric must be created and associated with the assignment with `use_for_grading=true`. Use `create_rubric` for creation and `associate_rubric` for an existing rubric; use `update_rubric` (two-call preview + token) for text/point edits; add or remove criteria in the Canvas UI.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Assignment and Rubric Information

Before grading, retrieve the assignment details and its rubric criteria.

```
get_assignment_details(course_identifier, assignment_id)
```

Then get the rubric. Use `get_rubric` if the rubric is already linked to the assignment, or `list_rubrics` to browse all rubrics in the course:

```
get_rubric(course_identifier, assignment_id=assignment_id)
list_rubrics(course_identifier)
get_rubric(course_identifier, rubric_id=rubric_id)
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vishalsachdev/canvas-mcp/canvas-bulk-grading@sha256:11f40d46e66fa8fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.e9456c6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
