Brightspace MCP Server

An open-source community MCP server that allows AI agents to read course data from D2L Brightspace Learning Management Systems. It supports checking grades, due dates, assignments, announcements, rosters, syllabus, and course content. The server is read-only, ensuring it never submits, edits, or deletes data, and integrates with clients like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.
