Common questions

Is Moodle MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: MOODLE_URL, MOODLE_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Moodle MCP

An open source, read-only MCP server for Moodle. Connect it to Claude and ask about your assignments, deadlines, grades, courses, forums and notifications in plain language.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Moodle Pty Ltd. "Moodle" is a trademark of its owner.

What you can ask

"Which assignments do I still have to hand in this month?"
"What's due this week, and what have I already submitted?"
"What are my grades in Machine Learning?"
"Any new announcements in my courses?"
"Show me the sections and activities of my Computer Graphics course."

Tools

All tools are read-only and return concise, readable output.

Tool	What it does	Parameters
`get_site_info`	Validates the token; site, Moodle version and current user	–
`list_courses`	Your courses (current ones by default)	`includePast?`
`get_course_contents`	Sections and activities of a course. Each module has `id` and `instance`	`courseId`
`list_assignments`	Assignments with due dates, sorted by due date	`courseId?`, `upcomingOnly?`, `limit?` (25)
`get_assignment_status`	Submission/grading status, grade and feedback comments	`assignmentId`
`get_upcoming_deadlines`	Calendar events + assignments in the next N days, each assignment marked `submitted` or `pending`	`days?` (14), `onlyPending?`

`get_notifications`	Recent Moodle notifications	–

Requirements

A Moodle site with Web Services / mobile app access enabled (Moodle 4.x; developed against 4.5).
Your own web service token (below). Functions your institution disables simply return an error for that tool.
Node 20+ for the server (Node 22+ to deploy with Wrangler), or Docker, or a free Cloudflare account.

Setup

1. Get your Moodle URL and token

URL: the root of your Moodle, without a page or /webservice, e.g. https://moodle.example.edu (if Moodle lives in a subfolder, include it: https://example.edu/moodle).
Token: in Moodle, *Preferences → Security keys* shows a key for Moodle mobile web service. Some sites only show a label there; *Reset* generates a new key (and signs out your Moodle mobile app). Alternatively, if you log in with a Moodle username and password (not SSO), request one: curl -s "$MOODLE_URL/login/token.php" -d username=... --data-urlencode password=... -d service=moodle_mobile_app (type the password interactively so it doesn't end up in your shell history).

2. Configure

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in MOODLE_URL, MOODLE_TOKEN and MCP_AUTH_SECRET (generate the latter with openssl rand -hex 24). .env is git-ignored.

3. Run it, pick one

Cloudflare Workers (free, always on, no domain needed): recommended

npm ci

npx wrangler login npx wrangler secret put MOODLE_URL # https://your.moodle.edu npx wrangler secret put MOODLE_TOKEN # your Moodle web service token npx wrangler secret put MCP_AUTH_SECRET # openssl rand -hex 24 npm run deploy # prints https://moodle-mcp. .workers.dev

Check Cloudflare's current free-tier limits. Try it locally first by copying your `.env` values to a

git-ignored .dev.vars and running npm run dev:worker.

Docker / Node (self-hosted)

docker build -t moodle-mcp . && docker run --env-file .env -p 3000:3000 moodle-mcp

or: npm ci && npm run build && npm start

Then expose it over HTTPS (for example with a Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale Funnel).

Local only (Claude Desktop / Claude Code, stdio): no install needed:

MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio MOODLE_URL=https://your.moodle.edu MOODLE_TOKEN=... npx -y @fabioov/moodle-mcp

MCP_AUTH_SECRET is not needed in this mode.

4. Add it to Claude

Claude.ai: *Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector*. URL https:// /mcp, choose No sign-in, then *Add header* Authorization = Bearer .
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http moodle https:// /mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer "
If a client can only be given a URL, use https:// /mcp/ . Treat that URL as a password; the header is preferred because URLs end up in logs.

Security and privacy

Your token acts as you: anyone who can call your endpoint can read what your token can read. Keep MOODLE_TOKEN and MCP_AUTH_SECRET in environment variables or Cloudflare secrets, never in the repo.
The server is read-only by design and has no write tools.
Whatever the tools return (grades, messages, names) is sent to Claude as part of your conversation. Check your institution's rules on sharing academic data with third-party services before using this, especially if you have access to other people's data (for example as a teacher).
See SECURITY.md to report a vulnerability.

Known limitations

Tested mainly against Moodle 4.5 with a student account. Teacher/admin roles and other versions or plugins are untested; reports and fixtures are welcome.
Sites can disable individual web service functions, so some tools may not work everywhere.
Large result sets are trimmed (for example, 25 assignments by default) to save context.

Development

npm ci

npm test # unit tests with fixtures (no Moodle needed) npm run typecheck npm run dev # HTTP server on :3000 (needs .env) npm run dev:worker # Cloudflare Worker locally (needs .dev.vars)
