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 connection provides 14 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
The old way of managing class assignments was a multi-tab nightmare.
Today, if you want to see who handed in the last quiz and what grade they got, you open Google Classroom. Then you navigate to the 'Grades' tab. You filter by assignment name, then scroll down through dozens of student names, checking status indicators one by one. If you need to check a whole class roster, that’s another manual trip to another dashboard.
With this MCP, all that clicking and filtering disappears. You simply ask your agent: 'Show me the grade summary for the last quiz.' It runs the necessary checks across student submissions, compiling the status directly into your conversation window.
The Google Classroom MCP gives you full control over coursework.
You don't have to manually create assignments and then remember to publish them. The agent handles creating the course work, setting the max points, and publishing it instantly for all students in the class to see when ready. It’s a single action that covers multiple manual steps.
What you get is complete administrative control over your academic content. You can manage everything—from initial setup using `create_course` to final grading with `return_submission`—all through conversational commands.
What your AI can actually do with this
Managing an educational environment involves juggling multiple moving parts: courses, due dates, who submitted what, and how many points they earned. This MCP lets your AI agent talk directly to Google Classroom. You can ask it to list all active classes or check the roster for a specific course. Need to grade? Your agent reviews submissions and returns work to students with a single command.
It's built for people who manage classrooms, not just files. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, your AI client gets access to an entire set of educational tools, letting you handle the full cycle from lesson planning to final grades through natural conversation.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that once it's connected, all of Google Classroom's core functions become natural commands for your AI client.
First, subscribe to this MCP and provide your Google Classroom OAuth Access Token.
Next, connect that token to your preferred AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.).
Then, you start by asking your agent a direct question, like 'What submissions are due for Math 101?' The agent runs the necessary tool calls and gives you the answer.
Who is this actually for?
Teachers who spend hours manually checking grades are the primary users here. If you manage multiple classes or courses and hate repetitive administrative tasks, this is for you. Admins using it save time on roster checks; students use it to track their progress.
Posts weekly announcements, creates new assignments, and uses the MCP to list submissions across 30+ students for grading.
Needs to monitor course rosters and ensure all necessary courses are created or updated before the academic year starts.
Checks the status of a specific assignment, verifies if their work was successfully turned in, and reviews grades.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop manually checking grade books. By calling list_submissions, your agent instantly shows who turned in work, who's late, and the current status for all students on one screen.
Never miss a student enrollment detail again. Use list_students to quickly pull up an accurate roster or verify if a specific student was assigned to the course.
Keep everyone updated without opening the web app. Posting important reminders is as simple as calling create_announcement, and it lands right in the class feed.
Grade cycles are faster than ever. After reviewing work, you just need to run return_submission to give back grades and notify students immediately.
Creating new material takes seconds. You can use create_course_work to set up a quiz or assignment with due dates for the whole class without leaving your chat window.
See it in action
The end-of-unit grading crunch
A teacher needs to grade 50 submissions from 'Midterm Project.' Instead of opening the web app, they ask their agent to run list_submissions for that assignment. The agent immediately returns a summary: 42 submitted, 3 late, and 5 missing. They then use return_submission on the graded work.
Adding an emergency reminder
The admin realizes there's a policy change for next week. Instead of sending emails to every class list, they just tell their agent to call create_announcement for all relevant courses, making sure the update hits the course stream instantly.
Verifying student enrollment
Before starting a new semester, an admin needs to confirm the official list of students. They ask their agent to use list_students for Course ID 12345; it returns the full roster and confirms all necessary staff are listed using list_teachers.
Setting up a new curriculum module
The department head needs to launch a brand-new elective. They ask their agent to use create_course, get the ID, and then immediately follow up by calling list_course_work to ensure they set the initial mandatory assignments.
The honest tradeoffs
Assuming all student data is in one list
Asking your agent, 'Show me all grades.' The agent can't do that because grading requires knowing which specific assignment and course you mean. It needs multiple calls.
You must specify the resource hierarchy. First, run list_courses to get the ID. Then use list_course_work with that ID for the assignment name. Finally, call list_submissions using the resulting Assignment ID and Course ID.
Trying to update a course without an ID
Telling your agent, 'Change the syllabus description.' This fails because the system needs to know which specific class you're talking about. It can't guess.
You must first run list_courses to identify the correct Course ID. Then use that ID when calling update_course with the new details.
Forgetting a student needs to submit first
Telling your agent, 'Grade this submission.' This fails because submissions must be actively tracked and potentially submitted by the user before grading can happen.
First, ensure the student has created their work (if necessary) using turn_in_submission. Then you can check the details with get_submission and finally call return_submission.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your primary job involves managing resource lifecycles within an LMS. Specifically, if you need to track student progress across multiple assignments or post mandatory class updates, this is the tool. Don't use it if your goal is simple file sharing or collaborating on documents outside of the formal assignment structure; for that, a general document management MCP would be better. If you only need to see one static list—like just checking who is enrolled—you might get away with list_students, but if you ever need to create an assignment, post an announcement, or track grades, this MCP is necessary because it provides the full mutation control layer.
Questions you might have
How do I use list_courses to find all my classes? +
Running list_courses provides a master overview of every course you have access to. This is essential because it gives you the specific Course IDs you'll need for almost every subsequent action, like listing students or checking announcements.
Can I check student grades using list_submissions? +
Yes, list_submissions shows key data points including the grade and whether the submission was late. It’s your central tool for tracking performance against an assignment's due date.
What is the difference between create_course_work and get_course? +
create_course_work builds a new assignment or quiz, giving it a deadline. get_course just pulls all the general details about an existing course container; it doesn't deal with specific lessons.
How do I post an announcement without going to Google Classroom? +
You use the create_announcement tool. Just tell your agent what you want to say and which course, and it posts the update directly into the course stream for everyone to see.
How do I use list_teachers to find out who can grade work in a course? +
The tool lists all teachers assigned to your specific Google Classroom. This confirms which users have the permissions needed for grading actions, like returning submissions or viewing grades.
What is the prerequisite before I use turn_in_submission? +
You must ensure the student has first created a submission draft. Running this tool finalizes the work, mimicking the 'Turn In' button click in the Classroom UI and making it ready for grading.
Using update_course, what data fields can I modify on an existing class? +
You need to provide the course ID and specify which metadata field you want to change. This lets you maintain or adjust core details about a course without needing to recreate it.
If I use get_submission, what specific data points will I receive? +
You retrieve detailed information on one student's work. This includes the grade assigned, the submission state (e.g., returned or new), and key metadata about that specific assignment.
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.
