Debugging

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