Campus CLI MCP server

Lets your AI read your Blackboard courses, assignments, grades, announcements, and materials for you.

Campus CLI is a free helper that connects your AI assistant to your university Blackboard account. It was made for students at UPC in Peru, so your AI can look at your courses, homework, and grades without you opening a browser. If you use ChatGPT or Claude for school stuff, this saves you a lot of copying and pasting.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. It cannot see your university account. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill, in this case a connection to your Blackboard Learn account at UPC. Once it is connected, you can just ask your AI about your courses, and it will go look things up for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like what homework is due this week. The AI passes that question to this helper program running on your computer. The helper logs in to your Blackboard account using your own session, reads the information you asked for, and sends it back. Then the AI turns it into a clear answer in the chat. You never have to open Blackboard yourself.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What homework is due this week?”, on your own computer the Campus CLI MCP server works with blackboard, and you get back A clear answer in chat.
