My school runs on D2L Brightspace. I wanted to ask my AI one thing, "what should I work on right now", and get a real answer.
The problem is that most tools only read due dates. They have no idea you already handed something in, so they keep nagging you about finished work.
So I built brightspace-d2l-mcp. It's an MCP server that checks your actual submission status for every assignment. Ask it what's left and it skips everything that's done.
What it can do
- A ranked to-do list across every course
- Grades, plus what you need on the final to hit a target
- Exam dates and course calendar events
- Reading slides, rubrics and assignment files
- Exporting deadlines to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook
Setup
One command. It connects Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot and about ten other apps for you.

A normal browser window opens so you sign in the way you always do. Duo, Microsoft, Okta and Shibboleth all work.
Privacy
It's read-only, runs on your computer and never stores your password. A test fails the build if anyone ever adds a write call.

It's only been tested at one college so far. If it works at your school, open an issue and I'll add you to the list.
