Installation

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/moodle-mcp-server.git cd moodle-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Create a .env file with the following configuration:
MOODLE_API_URL=https://your-moodle.com/webservice/rest/server.php MOODLE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token MOODLE_COURSE_ID=1 # Replace with your course ID
  1. Build the server:
npm run build

Usage with Claude

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server configuration:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "moodle-mcp-server": { "command": "/path/to/node", "args": [ "/path/to/moodle-mcp-server/build/index.js" ], "env": { "MOODLE_API_URL": "https://your-moodle.com/webservice/rest/server.php", "MOODLE_API_TOKEN": "your_moodle_api_token", "MOODLE_COURSE_ID": "your_course_id" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

For Windows users, the paths would use backslashes:

{ "mcpServers": { "moodle-mcp-server": { "command": "C:\\path\\to\\node.exe", "args": [ "C:\\path\\to\\moodle-mcp-server\\build\\index.js" ], "env": { "MOODLE_API_URL": "https://your-moodle.com/webservice/rest/server.php", "MOODLE_API_TOKEN": "your_moodle_api_token", "MOODLE_COURSE_ID": "your_course_id" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Once configured, Claude will be able to interact with your Moodle course to:

  • View the list of students and their submissions
  • Provide comments and grades for assignments
  • Examine quiz attempts and offer feedback

Development

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Debugging

MCP servers communicate through stdio, which can make debugging challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Obtaining a Moodle API Token

  1. Log in to your Moodle site as an administrator
  2. Go to Site Administration > Plugins > Web Services > Manage tokens
  3. Create a new token with the necessary permissions to manage courses
  4. Copy the generated token and add it to your .env file

Security

  • Never share your .env file or Moodle API token
  • Ensure the MCP server only has access to the courses it needs to manage
  • Use a token with the minimum necessary permissions
