Installation

**Option 1: Let your AI do it** Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, or any AI coding assistant:

Install brightspace-mcp-server for me by following https://github.com/RohanMuppa/brightspace-mcp-server/blob/main/LLMs.md (use --purdue if I'm at Purdue).

**Option 2: Run it yourself**

npx brightspace-mcp-server setup

Purdue students can add --purdue to skip entering the school URL.

**Manual Client Configuration** For clients not supporting the automatic setup:

Run npx brightspace-mcp-server setup first to save credentials
Register the server with command: npx -y brightspace-mcp-server@latest
On Windows: cmd /c npx -y brightspace-mcp-server@latest

**Claude Desktop Configuration** Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brightspace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "brightspace-mcp-server@latest"]
