Brightspace D2L MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to your school's Brightspace (also called D2L). Once it is set up, you can ask plain questions about your courses instead of clicking through every page. It is made for students who use Brightspace every day and want a quicker way to keep track of things.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like what is due this week. The AI passes that question to this helper. The helper signs in to Brightspace the same way you do in your browser, and reads the pages you can already see. Then it hands the answer back to your AI, which explains it to you in the chat. It only reads. It cannot submit, post or change anything.
