-Bring AI to your Canvas Virtual Classroom! 🚀
+Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for **Canvas LMS**. It acts as a bridge that allows AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, n8n, OpenAI Custom GPTs, and generic MCP clients) to query, grade, audit, and manage Canvas courses, assignments, rubrics, submissions, quizzes, conversations, and analytics using natural language. Two transports are supported: `stdio` (default) and Streamable-HTTP with interactive Swagger API documentation.

-
-### 📖 Course Auditing & Querying
-* 💬 *"What active courses do I have this semester? Check if there are multiple active sections/parallels."*
-* 💬 *"Show me all ungraded submissions for 'Essay 1: Introduction to Sociology' in Sociology 101."*
-* 💬 *"Who is in Student Group A for the Chemistry class?"*
-* 💬 *"Does the assignment 'Project Proposal' have an active rubric associated? If so, retrieve its criteria."*
-* 💬 *"Search for everything related to 'photosynthesis' across my Biology course — assignments, pages, and discussions."*
+```bash
+npx @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest
+```
 
-### ✍️ Creating & Organizing Course Content
-* 💬 *"Create a new module named 'Week 1: Foundations' in my course."*
-* 💬 *"Add a SubHeader 'REQUIRED READINGS' inside the 'Week 1' module, and link the syllabus page to it."*
-* 💬 *"In my Business course, create an assignment called 'Case Study 1: Market Analysis'. Add an instructions table with columns for Criteria, Requirements, and Points."*
-* 💬 *"Create a threaded discussion topic in my course titled 'Weekly Reflection' and pin it to the top."*
+This is the recommended path for end users. `npx` keeps the binary cached and self-updates on `@latest`.
 
-### 💯 Grading & Absence Management
-* 💬 *"For assignment 'Case Study 1', find all students who haven't submitted their work. Assign them a grade of 0 and add the comment: 'Activity not submitted. Please contact the instructor if you have a valid excuse.'"*
-* 💬 *"Grade John's submission for 'Essay 1' with a 90 based on the rubric, and add a comment: 'Great job! The analysis is well-structured, though you could expand more on the conclusion. Keep it up!'"*
+### Interactive CLI Setup
 
-### 📊 Student Engagement & Analytics
-* 💬 *"Show me the activity analytics for my Calculus course — how active have students been this week?"*
-* 💬 *"Which students haven't been active in course 12345 in the last few days? I want to reach out to them."*
-* 💬 *"Get the analytics for student [ID] in my Biology course — how many page views and participations do they have?"*
+Configure your Canvas credentials interactively before running:
 
-### 💬 Messaging & Communication
-* 💬 *"Send a private message to student [ID] reminding them their 'Project Proposal' is due tomorrow."*
-* 💬 *"How many unread messages do I have in my Canvas inbox?"*
-* 💬 *"Show me my last 10 inbox conversations."*

-* 💬 *"Search for a student named 'Maria Gonzalez' in account 1."*
-* 💬 *"Enroll user [ID] as a TA in my Physics course."*
+### From source
 
-### 🔄 Peer Reviews

-## Setup Guide
+## Connect to Claude Code
 
-To connect your AI assistant to Canvas, you need to configure **two things**: your Canvas credentials and your AI client (like Claude).
+CLI form:
 
-### Step 1: Obtain Canvas Credentials
-To let the server act on your behalf, it needs permission:
-1. Log in to your **Canvas LMS** account.
-2. Go to **Account** ➡️ **Settings** in the sidebar menu.
-3. Scroll down to the **Approved Integrations** section and click **+ New Access Token**.
-4. Enter a purpose (e.g., "Claude Assistant") and click **Generate Token**.
-5. **Copy the generated token immediately** and store it somewhere safe (you won't be able to see it again after closing the page).
+```bash
+claude mcp add canvas \
+  --env CANVAS_API_TOKEN=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE \
+  --env CANVAS_API_DOMAIN=myschool.instructure.com \
+  -- npx -y @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest
+```
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> You will also need your Canvas Domain. This is the web address of your school/university, for example: `myschool.instructure.com`.
+Or from a local build:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add canvas \
+  --env CANVAS_API_TOKEN=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE \
+  --env CANVAS_API_DOMAIN=myschool.instructure.com \
+  -- node /absolute/path/to/mcp-canvas-server/dist/index.js
+```
+
+Manual form — drop into `~/.claude.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "canvas": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest"],
+      "env": {
+        "CANVAS_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE",
+        "CANVAS_API_DOMAIN": "myschool.instructure.com"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

-### Step 2: Connect to your AI Client
+## Connect to Other Clients
+
+### Claude Desktop
+
+Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:
+- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "canvas": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest"],
+      "env": {
+        "CANVAS_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE",
+        "CANVAS_API_DOMAIN": "myschool.instructure.com"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-#### Option A: Claude Desktop (Desktop Application)
-1. Open your Claude Desktop configuration file. On Windows, it is located at:
-   `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
-   *(On macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`)*
-2. Add the Canvas server configuration under `mcpServers`:
+### Cursor — `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
 
 ```json
 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "canvas": {
       "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "@charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server"],

       "env": {
         "CANVAS_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE",
         "CANVAS_API_DOMAIN": "myschool.instructure.com"

   }
 }
 ```
-3. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. You will see a socket/plug icon indicating the server is successfully connected.
 
-#### Option B: Claude Code (Terminal CLI)
-If you are using the Claude Code terminal tool, install the plugin by running:
+### Codex CLI
+
 ```bash
-/plugin install canvas-lms@claude-community
+codex mcp add canvas \
+  --env CANVAS_API_TOKEN=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE \
+  --env CANVAS_API_DOMAIN=myschool.instructure.com \
+  npx -y @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest
 ```
-Then, configure your credentials interactively:
+
+### Generic MCP client (stdio)
+
+Any client that can spawn an MCP server over stdio can use `npx -y @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest`. The server speaks MCP 2025 (`tools`, `resources`, `prompts`).
+
+### HTTP Server & OpenAI Custom GPTs
+
+Run the server in HTTP mode with Fastify and interactive Swagger documentation:
+
 ```bash
-/canvas-lms:config
+npx @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server serve-http --port 3000 --host 0.0.0.0
+# or from source:
+npm run start:http
 ```
 
+Visit `http://localhost:3000` to inspect interactive Swagger / OpenAPI definitions or hook into OpenAI Custom GPT Actions.
+
+---
+
+## Authentication & Credentials
+
+### Step 1: Obtain Canvas Credentials
+
+1. Log in to your **Canvas LMS** account.
+2. Go to **Account** ➡️ **Settings** in the sidebar navigation.
+3. Scroll to **Approved Integrations** and click **+ New Access Token**.
+4. Enter a purpose (e.g. "Claude Canvas MCP") and click **Generate Token**.
+5. Copy the generated token immediately and store it securely (it will not be shown again).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Note down your **Canvas Domain**. This is the web address of your institution's Canvas platform, for example: `myschool.instructure.com`.
+
+### Token Auto-Renewal
+
+If your institution enforces token expiration, the server checks the active token's expiry before each request and automatically regenerates and persists it once it is within 24 hours of expiring.
+
+Toggles & Tuning:
+- `CANVAS_TOKEN_AUTO_RENEW=false` — Disable automatic token regeneration.
+- `CANVAS_TOKEN_RENEW_THRESHOLD_HOURS=48` — Change the renewal threshold window (default: `24` hours).
+
 ---
 
-## CLI Configuration
-If you prefer to configure your credentials locally for development, run:
+## Transports
+
+The server supports two transport modes:
+
+### stdio (default)
+
 ```bash
-npx @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server config
+npx @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server@latest
 ```
-This will guide you step-by-step to input your domain and API token, storing them securely in a local configuration file.
+
+Used by desktop applications and CLI tools (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex).
+
+### HTTP Server / Fastify REST API
+
+```bash
+npx @charlie.act7/canvas-mcp-server serve-http --port 3000 --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+Optionally pass `--port <port>` (default `3000`) and `--host <host>` (default `0.0.0.0` or `127.0.0.1`).
