Brightspace
Connects Claude to D2L Brightspace with 26+ tools covering courses, grades, assignments, content, and calendar operations. Handles the full auth complexity: API tokens, headless username/password flows, Playwright-driven browser automation for SSO (including a Microsoft Azure AD preset), and session cookies. Supports Duo Push and TOTP for MFA. Write operations are gated behind explicit config flags. Ships with MCP Resources for structured data access, custom prompts, and a terminal dashboard. The setup wizard auto-registers with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf. Use this when you need programmatic access to Brightspace data without wrestling with session management or multi-factor prompts yourself.
