The Canvas LMS integration provides access to manage Canvas LMS list courses, get course, list assignments, create assignment, list submissions through the Integrate MCP server.

## Installation

The Canvas LMS integration is included with the SDK:

```typescript
import { canvasLmsIntegration } from "integrate-sdk/server";
```

## Setup

### 1. Create a Canvas LMS OAuth App

1. Create an OAuth application for Canvas LMS
2. Configure your redirect URI
3. Note your Client ID and Client Secret

### 2. Configure the Integration on Your Server

Add the Canvas LMS integration to your server configuration. The integration automatically reads `CANVAS_LMS_CLIENT_ID` and `CANVAS_LMS_CLIENT_SECRET` from your environment variables:

```typescript
import { createMCPServer, canvasLmsIntegration } from "integrate-sdk/server";

export const { client: serverClient } = createMCPServer({
  apiKey: process.env.INTEGRATE_API_KEY,
  integrations: [
    canvasLmsIntegration({
      scopes: ["url:GET|/api/v1/courses", "url:GET|/api/v1/users/:id/profile", "url:POST|/api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments"], // Optional
    }),
  ],
});
```

You can override the environment variables by passing explicit values:

```typescript
canvasLmsIntegration({
  clientId: process.env.CUSTOM_CANVAS_LMS_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.CUSTOM_CANVAS_LMS_SECRET,
      scopes: ["url:GET|/api/v1/courses", "url:GET|/api/v1/users/:id/profile", "url:POST|/api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments"], // Optional
});
```

### 3. Client-Side Usage

The default client automatically includes all integrations. You can use it directly:

```typescript
import { client } from "integrate-sdk";

await client.authorize("canvas_lms");
const result = await client.canvas_lms.listCourses({
  canvas_domain: "value",
});

console.log(result);
```

If you're using a custom client, add the integration to the integrations array:

```typescript
import { createMCPClient, canvasLmsIntegration } from "integrate-sdk";

const customClient = createMCPClient({
  integrations: [canvasLmsIntegration()],
});
```
