How it works

Plan the work

Overview
NLearn MCP, also called Sentinel, is an MCP server that connects Claude to an NLearn/Moodle dashboard. It is for deadlines and assignment briefs. I designed and built it solo.
Problem
What is due, and what a brief actually says, lives inside Moodle. That is a clumsy place to ask an assistant.
Solution
A local server reads one configured host and turns deadlines and brief files into answers and calendar-ready events.
Key features
- Upcoming and past deadlines
- Text extracted from PDF, DOCX, and PPTX briefs
- Calendar-ready events
- One-click

Security notes
Requests are limited to the configured host. That is the SSRF control: the server does not fetch an address a prompt invents. Credentials stay on the machine and are not committed.
Outcome
The server can say what is due and pull the text of a brief without sending those credentials anywhere else.
