file with the following configuration:
- Build the server:
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
For Windows users, the paths would use backslashes:
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:
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
- Log in to your Moodle site as an administrator
- Go to Site Administration > Plugins > Web Services > Manage tokens
- Create a new token with the necessary permissions to manage courses
- 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
License
You must be authenticated.
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
