Open-source · Moodle plugin + MCP server
Let an AI assistant read your courses and build real content — pages, quizzes, forums, assignments — from plain-English instructions. No clicking through admin menus.

The plugin adds the activity-creation functions Moodle's core API is missing. The server exposes everything as typed tools for the AI. One web service token connects them.
The screenshot below is an actual result — a four-course program with its content, created from plain-English prompts.

Site administration → Plugins → Install plugins → upload mcpbridge.zip and confirm the upgrade.
Turn on web services and the REST protocol, then create a token. This is how the AI authenticates — no password required.
Run the Python MCP server with your Moodle URL and token, then register it in claude_desktop_config.json.
Describe what you want and the assistant calls the right tools against your live Moodle.
Runs on any Moodle 4.2+, self-hosted or institutional. It authenticates with a web service token — not a password — so it is independent of how your users sign in.
The AI sends a token an admin generates — never a password. It can only do what that user's capabilities allow.
SSO/SAML, LDAP, Google/Microsoft OAuth, CAS or manual — all identical. Tokens are a separate channel.
Admin access to install the plugin and enable web services. Some managed clouds may not allow custom plugins.
