PLATO (Pusan National University LMS) MCP server via Moodle Web Service API + ubboard scraping

What it does

PLATO MCP is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.

From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: web scraping. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as collect data behind logins or extract website data.

Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

67 tools offered to AI assistants

list_courses · List the courses the logged-in PLATO account is enrolled in.
get_course_contents · Get a course's weekly sections, modules, and file links.
list_assignments · List assignments across one or more courses, with due dates.
get_assignment_detail · Get one assignment's details and this account's submission status.
submit_assignment · Submit text and/or file attachments for an assignment. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False (same parameters) after they explicitly con
remove_submission · Withdraw/clear this account's own submission for an assignment. IRREVERSIBLE and DESTRUCTIVE once dry_run=False -- this discards already-submitted work (files/text), not a draft. KNOWN ISSUE: live testing found dry_run=False currently fails
get_grades · Get this account's grade items for a course, if visible.
get_grades_access_info · Check what grade-related permissions this account has in a course -- e.g. whether it can see its own grades vs. (as a teacher/TA) everyone's grades. Most student accounts will see canviewallgrades=False.
list_calendar_events · List upcoming calendar events within the next `days_ahead` days.
get_calendar_access_info · Check this account's calendar-management permissions -- a student account can typically manage its own personal entries only, not course/group entries.
create_calendar_event · Create a personal calendar entry. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Only personal ("user") events are supported -- course/group events are not something a student account can create. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview t
delete_calendar_event · Delete a personal calendar entry this account owns. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

Show 55 more

get_unread_messages · Get this account's unread PLATO notifications.
get_unread_notification_count · Get a count of this account's unread notifications (a cheaper check than get_unread_messages when you don't need the content). Note: PLATO has person-to-person messaging disabled site-wide, so this counts notifications only, not conversatio
list_notices · List announcements posted to a course's Notices board.
get_notice_detail · Get the full text of one notice/announcement.
list_qna · List questions posted to a course's Q&A board.
get_qna_detail · Get one Q&A question's text. Does not include replies -- see issue #23.
post_qna_question · Post a new question to a course's Q&A board. IRREVERSIBLE and VISIBLE to the instructor once dry_run=False (posted as private/secret by default). Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with
download_course_file · Download a course file (the `fileurl` from get_course_contents). Running locally (stdio, e.g. Claude Code/Desktop): saves the file to `save_path` on this machine and returns the saved path -- `save_path` is required in this case. Running as
get_course_completion_status · Get this account's overall course-completion status, if the course has course-level completion criteria configured. Most courses on this platform don't (available=False, with a message explaining why) -- try get_activity_completion_status f
get_activity_completion_status · Get this account's completion status for every activity/module in a course -- richer than get_course_contents's per-module `completed` flag (includes tracking rules, e.g. 'must view' vs 'must spend N minutes'). For `vod` (video lecture) mod
get_upcoming_action_events · Get Moodle's own "what needs action soon" feed -- assignments due, video lectures with a watch deadline, etc. -- sorted by urgency, from now onward. Unlike combining list_assignments + get_calendar_events, this is Moodle's own cross-activit
get_courses_by_timeline · List enrolled courses filtered by Moodle's own timeline classification (in-progress/future/past), based on course start/end dates. Unlike list_courses (which returns everything unfiltered), this answers "what am I actually taking right now"
get_grades_overview · Get this account's overall grade for every enrolled course in one call. For the individual grade *items* within one course (e.g. each assignment's score), use get_grades instead -- this tool only returns one summary grade per course.
list_quizzes · List quizzes across one or more courses.
get_quiz_attempts · Get this account's past attempts at one quiz.
get_quiz_best_grade · Get this account's best grade on one quiz, if any attempt has been graded.
get_quiz_access_information · Check whether this account can currently attempt a quiz, and why not if blocked (e.g. time window, password, previous attempts exhausted). UNVERIFIED against a real quiz -- call this before start_quiz_attempt and sanity-check the result.
get_quiz_required_qtypes · List the question types used in a quiz (e.g. 'multichoice', 'truefalse', 'essay') -- useful to know what kind of answers to expect before starting an attempt.
get_quiz_feedback_for_grade · Get the grade-boundary feedback text configured for a quiz at a given grade (e.g. 'You passed!' / 'Please review chapter 3').
get_quiz_combined_review_options · Check which review details (marks, feedback, right answers) this account is allowed to see for a quiz's attempts.
start_quiz_attempt · Start a new attempt at a quiz. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False -- consumes one of the quiz's limited attempts. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz -- call get_quiz_access_information first and check canattempt/preventaccessreasons. Call with dry
get_quiz_attempt_data · Get the questions for one page of an in-progress quiz attempt. Each question's `html` is Moodle's own rendered question form -- parse it for the actual answer-field names before calling save_quiz_attempt_responses/process_quiz_attempt. UNVE
get_quiz_attempt_summary · Get a summary of all questions in an attempt (answered/ unanswered), across all pages. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.
get_quiz_attempt_review · Get the grade and per-question review for a finished quiz attempt. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz.
save_quiz_attempt_responses · Save in-progress answers WITHOUT finishing the attempt -- can still be changed later. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they ex
process_quiz_attempt · Submit answers for a quiz attempt. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False AND finish_attempt=True -- that is the final, graded submission and cannot be undone. UNVERIFIED against a real quiz. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the previe
list_forums · List standard Moodle forums across one or more courses. NOT the same as PLATO's notice/Q&A board (use list_notices/list_qna for that) -- this covers the separate, less-commonly-used mod_forum module.
get_forum_discussions · List discussion threads in one standard Moodle forum.
get_discussion_posts · Get all posts in one forum discussion thread.
add_discussion · Start a new discussion thread in a forum. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False. Call with dry_run=True (default) first, show the preview to the user, and only call again with dry_run=False after they explicitly confirm.

get_course_updates_since · Get what changed in a course since a given time -- configuration, completion, grades, submissions, etc. Only reports modules that implement Moodle's change-tracking (confirmed: the standard `assign` module does; this platform's own custom l
get_course_module · Resolve a single course module by its id directly, without fetching and filtering the whole course's contents.
search_courses · Search PLATO's entire course catalog by name -- not limited to this account's enrolled courses (use list_courses for that).

get_starred_courses · Get this account's starred/favourited courses, if any.
list_video_conferences · List BigBlueButton video-conference activities across one or more courses. Joining a meeting is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only. Zoom activities (mod_zoom) are not covered -- no real instance has existed
list_lessons · List Lesson activities across one or more courses. Taking a lesson (answering pages) is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.
list_workshops · List Workshop (peer assessment) activities across one or more courses. Submitting or assessing work is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.
list_feedbacks · List Feedback (survey) activities across one or more courses. Responding to a survey is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.
list_choices · List Choice (single-question poll) activities across one or more courses. Voting is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.
list_surveys · List Survey activities across one or more courses. Answering is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.
list_scorms · List SCORM packaged-content activities across one or more courses. Launching/tracking a SCORM attempt is not supported by this server -- this tool is read-only coverage only.

get_private_files_info · Get a summary (file/folder count, total size) of this account's Moodle private files area.
get_user_preferences · Get this account's Moodle user preferences. Note: most of these are internal UI state (e.g. which dashboard sections are collapsed), not information meaningful on its own.
add_private_file · Upload a file to this account's Moodle private files area. IRREVERSIBLE once dry_run=False -- no delete tool exists for private files yet, so this permanently adds the file until the user removes it via PLATO's own UI. Only works when this
get_my_course_groups · Get the groups this account belongs to within a course, if any.
get_enrolled_users · Get the list of users enrolled in a course (classmates and instructors), with their role. Same data visible in PLATO's own participant list to any enrolled student.

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method

Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
