List the student’s currently visible Blackboard (Syracuse University) courses. Returns course ids needed by every other blackboard tool. Read-only.

List a course’s content items (folders, documents, files, assignments, tests, links) from Blackboard. Hierarchy is expanded a couple of folder levels; pass folder_id to go deeper into one folder. Read-only.

List announcements for one Blackboard course, newest first. Optionally filter to items created or modified after a date. Read-only.

List assignments and assessments with due dates, combined and deduplicated from Blackboard course content, the gradebook, and the calendar. Optionally scope to one course and/or a due-date window. Read-only.

List the student’s own grades for one Blackboard course: assignment, score, points possible, percentage, feedback, and grading status. Only grades visible to the signed-in student are returned. Read-only.

Download a course file (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, images, ...) from Blackboard to this machine and return its local path. Files are saved under ~/.blackboard-mcp/downloads only when you call this tool; nothing is sent anywhere. Small text files also include a text excerpt. Read-only.

Upcoming assignments and assessments across ALL Blackboard courses, sorted by due date. This is the one call to answer “what do I have due?”. Read-only.

Recent Blackboard activity across all courses since a point in time (default: last 7 days): announcements, new/changed content items, changed assignments, and newly posted grades. Read-only.

One package describing a Blackboard assignment: instructions, due date, points, rubric (when available), attachments with local file paths, the student’s grade/status for it, and related course announcements. Use this instead of many low-level calls. Read-only.
