常见问题

What environment variables are required?

`CANVAS_ACCESS_TOKEN` (your Canvas API token) and `CANVAS_BASE_URL` (the base URL of your Canvas instance, e.g., `https://canvas.ust.hk`).

How do I get a Canvas API token?

Create a new access token at **sidebar** > **Profile** > **Settings** (`/profile/settings`) > **Approved Integrations** > **New Access Token**. Your admin may disable this option, in which case you cannot create a token.

What transport does the server use?

It uses `stdio` transport, as indicated in the installation configuration.

What runtime does it require?

The server is a Node.js project (you need `npm`/`npx` to run the installation command `npx -y mcp-canvas-lms`).

Can I use this server with any Canvas instance?

Yes, by setting `CANVAS_BASE_URL` to the base URL of your institution’s Canvas instance.
