About Brightspace MCP Server

This tool connects AI assistants (like Claude or ChatGPT) to Brightspace, a learning management system used by schools. It lets you check grades, assignment due dates, announcements, rosters, syllabus content, and course materials through an AI chat interface.

Who it’s for

Students and educators who want to access their Brightspace course information via AI assistants instead of logging into the Brightspace website directly. It works with any school that uses Brightspace (also called D2L).

Alternatives

Direct Brightspace web interface: Use the official Brightspace website or mobile app—most secure since you control login directly.
Brightspace API: Build your own integration using the official API if your school supports it.
Canvas LMS: Some schools use Canvas instead; similar MCP connectors may exist for that platform.
Manual checking: Continue checking your grades and assignments by logging into Brightspace yourself through your browser.

Setup

Check these steps against the project’s own instructions before running anything.

Install via npm with: npx brightspace-mcp-server@latest. Then configure your AI client (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Windsurf) to connect to it. Follow the project's README for specific configuration steps for your AI platform.

Risks to watch for

School account access: The tool needs your Brightspace login credentials to fetch your grades, assignments, and course data—anyone with access to these credentials could see all your school information.
Credential storage: Your login information must be stored somewhere for the tool to work; if stored insecurely, attackers could steal it.
AI sees your data: All your grades, assignments, and course content get sent to the AI assistant you're using, which may store or log this information.
Malicious course content: A teacher or attacker could embed hidden instructions in course announcements, syllabus text, or assignment descriptions to trick the AI into leaking your data or credentials.
Man-in-the-middle attacks: If the connection to Brightspace isn't fully encrypted, someone on your network could intercept your login or data.

How to lower the risk

Least-privilege permissions

Create a separate Brightspace account or API token if your school allows it, rather than using your main account.
Only grant the minimum permissions needed to read grades and assignments.

Network isolation

Run this on a trusted device and network, never on public Wi-Fi.
Keep your Brightspace password unique and strong, different from other accounts.

Monitoring

Check your Brightspace login history regularly for unexpected access.
Review any API logs or connection history your school provides.

Red flags to watch for

Unusual activity in your Brightspace account after setting this up.
Prompts or announcements in your courses asking you to share credentials or confirm information.
The AI sharing your grades or assignments when you didn't ask it to.
