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 MCP - AI Agent Guide

This guide helps AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Zed, Windsurf, and other MCP clients) effectively use the Canvas MCP server.

## Quick Start

Canvas MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges AI assistants with Canvas Learning Management System. It provides tools for students to track their academic work and for educators to manage courses, grade assignments, and communicate with students.

**Key capability:** The server supports both traditional MCP tool calls and a code execution API. Process bulk operations locally without loading every item into the model’s context.

## Authentication

All tools require a valid Canvas API token.

> **Note:** The public hosted server (`mcp.illinihunt.org`) has been **retired** — a public MCP endpoint without an access gate would expose the code-execution tool. Use local (self-hosted) mode below. The HTTP/streamable transport remains supported for self-hosting behind your own authentication; for a shared institutional deployment, see [deploy/azure/](deploy/azure/).

### Local (Self-Hosted)
Configure credentials in the MCP server's `.env` file:
```
CANVAS_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vishalsachdev/canvas-mcp/AGENTS.md@sha256:07e58b57383e6864

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.5d7c2c2, 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.
