Learning designer quality check for Canvas LMS courses. Audits module structure, content completeness, publishing state, date consistency, and rubric coverage. Use when asked to "QC a course", "is this course ready", "pre-semester check", or "quality review".
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 Course QC Automated quality checklist for Learning Designers to verify a Canvas course is ready for students. Runs structure, content, publishing, and completeness checks — then reports issues by priority. ## Prerequisites - **Canvas MCP server** must be running and connected. - Authenticated user must have **instructor, TA, or designer role** in the target course. - Best run before the semester starts or before publishing a course to students. ## Steps ### 1. Identify Target Course Ask the user which course to QC. Accept a course code, Canvas ID, or course name. If not specified, prompt: > Which course would you like to quality-check? Use `list_courses` to look up available courses if needed. ### 2. Retrieve Course Structure Call `get_course_structure(course_identifier)` to get the full module-to-items tree in one call.

Run Structure Checks Analyze the module tree for structural issues: | Check | Priority | What to Look For | |-------|----------|------------------| | Empty modules | Warning | Modules with 0 items (confusing to students) | …

How to install
mdr add vishalsachdev/canvas-mcp/canvas-course-qc@sha256:f1457df33869b3aeThe 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.
