Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17cjx1a349nz5apaqp02vgz4h85728z:canvas-parent

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# canvas-parent-mcp

MCP server for Canvas LMS (Instructure) — read courses, grades, assignments, announcements, planner items, and conversations; download course files. Mirrors the parent/observer scope of the sibling `infinitecampus-mcp`.

- **npm:** [npmjs.com/package/canvas-parent-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/canvas-parent-mcp)
- **Source:** [github.com/chrischall/canvas-parent-mcp](https://github.com/chrischall/canvas-parent-mcp)

## Setup

### Option A — npx (recommended)

Add to `.mcp.json` in your project or `~/.claude/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canvas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "canvas-parent-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CANVAS_BASE_URL": "https://cms.instructure.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

With the [ContextMint Bridge](https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge/releases) browser extension installed and a signed-in Canvas tab, that's enough — the MCP reads your session cookies from the browser on the first request and again whenever the session expires, so keep the extension installed and the browser running. Add `CANVAS_TOKEN`, `CANVAS_CLIENT_*`/`CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN`, or `CANVAS_USERNAME`/`CANVAS_PASSWORD` to the `env` block if you'd rather use one of those modes.

### Option B — from source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/chrischall/canvas-parent-mcp
cd canvas-parent-mcp
npm install && npm run build
```

## Authentication

**fetchproxy fallback (recommended, zero-config).** Set only `CANVAS_BASE_URL`. Install the [ContextMint Bridge](https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge/releases) browser extension, sign into your Canvas instance once. The MCP reads `canvas_session` + `pseudonym_credentials` cookies from your tab on the first request and re-reads them on every 401; API calls go directly from Node in between, but the extension must stay reachable to renew the session. Works with any auth flow (SSO/SAML/2FA included). It's the fetchproxy extension under its new name, same maintainer ([fetchproxy's README](https://github.com/chrischall/fetchproxy#extension) points to it); verify a release zip with `shasum -a 256 -c <zip>.sha256` or build it from [source](https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge).

### Alternatives (env-var)

- **Personal access token** — set `CANVAS_TOKEN`. Most institutions have disabled this for non-admins.
- **OAuth** — set `CANVAS_CLIENT_ID`, `CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET`, `CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN`. Bootstrap via `canvas-parent-mcp-qr-login`.
- **Username/password (session-scrape)** — set `CANVAS_

## Description:

Helps users check courses, grades, assignments, messages, and files in their own or an observed student's Canvas account.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[chrischall](https://clawhub.ai/user/chrischall)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Students and parents or other observers use this skill to review Canvas coursework, grades, deadlines, announcements, conversations, and course files for accounts they can access.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Canvas tokens, passwords, or browser session cookies may expose private account records.

Mitigation: Use the least-privilege authentication available, protect credentials like passwords, and disable the browser-cookie fallback if live session cookies should not be used.

Risk: Downloaded course files and Canvas responses may contain confidential student information.

Mitigation: Limit access to authorized accounts and handle downloaded files and responses as confidential student data.
