Setup: Our team sets up the Canvas connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.

Canvas MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot

Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed Canvas MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your Canvas data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.

In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp.
