Perplexity

Claude Code lists Moodle courses

Run `list_courses` to dump your entire course catalog into your terminal output. It is the fastest way to get IDs for your automation scripts. If you need to filter by category, use `list_categories` first. This gives you the structure you need before you start moving data around.

Automate Moodle grades via Claude Code

Pipe the results of `get_user_grades` into your own analytics scripts. It allows you to process student performance without ever touching a web interface. This is essential for SREs who need to monitor system health and student progress. You get the raw data delivered right to your CLI session.

Claude Code executes Moodle tasks

Use `create_users` to bulk register accounts from a shell command. It is ideal for provisioning new semesters through your existing deployment pipelines. Pair this with `enrol_users` to finalize your setup. Everything happens in your terminal, keeping your workflow fast and headless.
