Overview

Moodle MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows large language models (LLMs) to interact with the Moodle platform for managing courses, students, assignments, and quizzes.

To use the Moodle MCP Server, clone the repository, install dependencies, configure the .env file with your Moodle API details, and build the server. Then, integrate it with Claude Desktop for interaction with your Moodle courses.

  • Student management tools to list students and their details. - Assignment management tools to retrieve assignments, examine submissions, and provide feedback. - Quiz management tools to get quizzes, check attempts, and give feedback.
  1. Managing student information and tracking their progress.
  2. Facilitating assignment submissions and feedback for students.
  3. Analyzing quiz attempts and providing insights to improve learning outcomes.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moodle-mcp-server-peancor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-moodle-mcp-server-peancor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moodle-mcp-server-peancor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-moodle-mcp-server-peancor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moodle-mcp-server-peancor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-moodle-mcp-server-peancor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-moodle-mcp-server-peancor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moodle-mcp-server-peancor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-moodle-mcp-server-peancor"
      ]
    }
  }
}
