🔐

You'll be asked for 4 credentials: CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET, CANVAS_PASSWORD, CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN, CANVAS_TOKEN

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// required environment variables

This server reads these from process.env. You'll be asked to provide them before it can run.

configCANVAS_BASE_URL— Set plus one of four auth modes. canvas-parent-mcp tries them in priority order:

configCANVAS_CLIENT_ID— 2. + CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET + CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN → OAuth

🔐 secretCANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET— 2. CANVAS_CLIENT_ID + + CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN → OAuth

configCANVAS_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY— Set =1 to opt out (missing creds become a hard error — useful in headless CI).

configCANVAS_NAME— cms # optional, defaults to host portion of base URL

🔐 secretCANVAS_PASSWORD— 3. CANVAS_USERNAME + → session-scrape (direct Canvas accounts only)

🔐 secretCANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN— 2. CANVAS_CLIENT_ID + CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET + → OAuth

🔐 secretCANVAS_TOKEN— 1. → personal access token

configCANVAS_USERNAME— 3. + CANVAS_PASSWORD → session-scrape (direct Canvas accounts only)
