Canvas Course Builder

Build complete Canvas course structures from a natural language description, a JSON template, or by cloning an existing course. Creates modules with pages, assignments, discussions, and proper organization in one workflow.

Prerequisites

• Canvas MCP server must be running and connected.
• Authenticated user must have instructor or designer role in the target course.
• Target course must already exist in Canvas (this skill populates it, does not create the course itself).

Modes

This skill operates in three modes:

Mode 1: Build from Spec (default)

The user describes the course structure in natural language or provides a structured spec.

Mode 2: Build from Template

Load a saved JSON template to scaffold a course.
