How to integrate D2lbrightspace MCP with OpenClaw

OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access D2lbrightspace with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on D2lbrightspace via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

• Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
• Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
• Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 850+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

How to install D2lbrightspace with OpenClaw

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

• Go to dashboard.composio.dev/composio/~/connect/clients/openclaw
• Copy the setup prompt

• Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
• Authenticate D2lbrightspace from the dashboard
• Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.

Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin

1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin

2. Copy the API Key from dashboard.composio.dev

3. Setup OpenClaw Config

openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"

4. Restart OpenClaw

openclaw gateway restart

5. Go to your chat interface and start asking questions.

6. When prompted, authenticate the app and you're all set.

How It Works

The plugin connects to Composio's MCP server at https://connect.composio.dev/mcp and registers all available tools directly into the OpenClaw agent. Tools are called by name — no extra search or execute steps needed.

If a tool returns an auth error, the agent will prompt you to connect that toolkit at dashboard.composio.dev.

Configuration

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The D2lbrightspace MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your D2L Brightspace account. It provides structured and secure access to your LMS, so your agent can perform actions like creating courses, managing quizzes, handling user enrollment, and automating gradebook operations on your behalf.

• Automated course creation and management: Instantly create new courses, course offerings, or templates, and streamline updates or deletions without manual intervention.
• Quiz and assessment automation: Let your agent set up new quizzes, organize quiz categories, and configure assessment parameters to enhance the learning experience.
• Gradebook and feedback management: Effortlessly create, modify, or delete grade objects to keep your course grading up to date and provide prompt feedback to learners.
• User enrollment and management: Create new user accounts, manage user roles, and handle enrollment or impersonation tasks to simplify onboarding and administration.
• Role and permissions control: Copy existing roles, adjust specific permissions, and fine-tune access for different user groups—all directly through your agent.
