What you can do with this MCP connector
This Google Classroom MCP Server connects your AI client right into your academic workflow. You'll manage everything—courses, assignments, submissions, and announcements—without jumping through Google's tabs. You'll talk to your agent, and it'll handle the heavy lifting.
View and Manage Courses
You can get a list of every course you're in using list_courses. If you need to know the specifics of a single class, get_course pulls up all the details when you give it the course ID. You can also create a brand-new class using create_course, which returns that unique ID you'll need later.
If you gotta tweak an existing course, update_course lets you modify its details with just the ID.
Handle Assignments and Grades
Need to set up work? create_course_work lets you set up a new assignment, quiz, or material for the class. You can see everything that's due and what the status is by calling list_course_work. To check student work, list_submissions gives you a summary, telling you who submitted, if the work is late, and what the grades are.
You can also look at one student's specific submission details using get_submission. When you're done grading, return_submission sends the graded assignment back to the student. Students can also turn in work using turn_in_submission, which simulates clicking 'Turn In' in the UI.
Manage Student Records
You can list every student enrolled in a class with list_students. You can also pull a list of all instructors assigned to that course using list_teachers.
Control Course Communications
To keep everyone in the loop, you can post an announcement to the course stream using create_announcement. If you need to see what's already been posted, list_announcements shows you a list of recent announcements.
How Google Classroom MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to this server and enter your Google Classroom OAuth Access Token.
- 2 Reference the course ID (e.g., from
list_courses) to scope your operations. - 3 Tell your AI client what you need (e.g., 'List all late submissions for Math 101').
The bottom line is, your AI client accesses your Google Classroom data through structured tools, allowing you to manage complex academic tasks conversationally.
Who Is Google Classroom MCP For?
Teachers and department heads who spend too much time manually checking assignment statuses, posting updates, or compiling grade reports. If you're tired of jumping between the Gradebook, the Stream, and the Roster tab just to figure out who needs a reminder, this is for you. It lets you run your entire academic cycle through simple commands.
Uses it to quickly list submissions, check who's late for a quiz, and post a reminder announcement for the next chapter's reading.
Uses it to monitor course rosters across multiple classes or list all available courses for curriculum planning.
Uses it to check the status of a specific assignment or view their current grades.
What Changes When You Connect
- Check student work status instantly. Instead of clicking through the Gradebook, use
list_submissionsto get a real-time count of who submitted, who is late, and who hasn't started. - Streamline course communication. Post important updates or reminders to the whole class using
create_announcementwithout leaving your agent chat. - Track course progress across multiple classes. Run
list_coursesfirst, then uselist_studentsandlist_course_workto build a full picture of enrollment and deadlines. - Handle the grading loop. After reviewing a paper with
get_submission, usereturn_submissionto send it back to the student and notify them that it's done. - Create and maintain structure. Use
create_course_workto schedule new assignments andlist_course_workto see when everything is due. You never miss a deadline. - Keep records clean. If a course needs a name change or description update,
update_coursehandles it, keeping your records accurate.
Real-World Use Cases
The Teacher Needs a Grade Summary
A teacher needs to know who submitted the Chapter 5 exam. They ask their agent to run list_submissions for the assignment ID. The agent returns a clear breakdown: ✅ Turned In (2), ⏳ Late (1), ❌ Not Submitted (1). They then use return_submission to grade and send the work back.
Building a New Class
An administrator needs to launch a new elective. They first use create_course to generate the ID. Then they use list_teachers to confirm staff, and create_course_work to schedule the first unit's assignments. The whole setup is done in a single, conversational flow.
Checking Roster Accuracy
A department head needs to verify student enrollment for an audit. They run list_courses to find all relevant course IDs. Then, they run list_students against each ID to get a comprehensive, up-to-date roster for every class.
Responding to Student Inquiries
A student asks about a late grade. The agent runs get_submission using the student ID and assignment ID. This pulls the exact grade and status, letting the student know exactly what they need to do.
The Tradeoffs
Manually Checking Status
Going to the Google Classroom dashboard, clicking the 'Assignments' tab, then clicking each student's name to see if they submitted the work. This takes minutes and requires multiple context switches.
→
Just ask your agent to list_submissions for the specific assignment. It returns a summary table showing submission status, grade, and lateness all in one go.
Updating Course Details
Remembering that the course description needs changing and having to navigate to the course settings page, finding the field, and saving it. This is slow and error-prone.
→
Use update_course and pass the new details directly to your agent. The agent handles the API call and confirms the change.
Roster Management
Trying to manually track if a student was added or removed from a class roster by checking multiple external databases or spreadsheets.
→
Use list_students with the course ID. This gets the current, authoritative list of enrolled students directly from Google Classroom.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if you need to manage the entire lifecycle of a class—from creating the course structure (create_course) and setting assignments (create_course_work) to monitoring student performance (list_submissions) and communicating updates (create_announcement). This is for the full academic workflow.
Don't use this if you just need to read a single piece of data, like checking a single student's email address. For that, you'd use a dedicated user directory tool. This server is built for actions and workflows, not just simple data reads.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 14 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Checking student work status shouldn't require 10 clicks.
Today, checking who turned in an assignment means opening Google Classroom, going to the Assignments tab, and clicking through the list. Then, you might have to click on individual student names or open the Gradebook to see if the work was submitted, if it was late, or what the grade was. It's a multi-step, confusing process that burns time.
With the Google Classroom MCP Server, you just ask your agent to `list_submissions`. It instantly pulls the data, showing a clean summary of every student: who submitted, who's late, and what the grade is. You get the answer without opening a single tab.
Google Classroom MCP Server: Manage Student Records and Grades
Manual steps that disappear: You don't have to remember which tool to use to list students, check the course details, or post an announcement. The agent knows the required IDs, the correct function (`list_students`, `get_course`), and the necessary sequence to get the full context.
This server brings all the core functions—roster management, assignment tracking, and grading review—into one conversational layer. It makes the whole academic process feel like one continuous, simple workflow.
Common Questions About Google Classroom MCP
How do I use the `list_courses` tool to start managing classes? +
Run list_courses first. This gives you a list of all your course IDs. You must use one of these IDs when calling other tools, like get_course or list_students.
What is the difference between `list_submissions` and `get_submission`? +
list_submissions shows a summary of all student submissions for an assignment. get_submission retrieves the full, detailed data for just one specific student's work.
Can I create an assignment and set a due date using `create_course_work`? +
Yes. The create_course_work tool lets you create new assignments, set due dates, and specify the max points for students in the course.
After grading, how do I send the work back using `return_submission`? +
You use return_submission after you have reviewed the work. This sends the assignment back to the student and notifies them that the grading process is complete.
How does `create_announcement` work? +
You simply tell the agent to post an announcement. The tool posts the text to the course stream, making it visible to all students and teachers.
What should I use first to see all the courses I can manage, like with `list_courses`? +
Start with list_courses to pull a full list of all available courses. This function provides the course IDs you need before you can query specific students or assignments.
If I want to update class details, what tool do I use, and what does it require? (e.g., `update_course`) +
Use update_course to modify an existing course. You must provide the course ID and at least one specific field you want to change.
How do I check which teachers are assigned to a specific course using `list_teachers`? +
list_teachers pulls a roster of all instructors associated with a course ID. It lets you see who is teaching before you try to manage class content.
How do I get a Google Classroom access token? +
Go to Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Classroom API, create OAuth 2.0 credentials, and generate an access token with scopes: classroom.courses, classroom.rosters, classroom.profile. Use Google's OAuth Playground for quick testing.
Can I create and grade assignments? +
Yes! Use create_course_work to create assignments with due dates and max points. Use list_submissions to see who turned in work, then get_submission to review individual student work. After grading, use return_submission to send it back to the student.
Can I manage student enrollment? +
This MCP focuses on read-only operations for safety: listing students/teachers, viewing assignments, and tracking submissions. To add/remove students, use the Google Classroom web interface directly.
