Moodle + Memtro

Which assignments are due in Biology this week, and what is in week 3?

Memtro reads your institution's own Moodle site: courses with enrolment counts, each course's sections and activities with their dates, assignments by due date and announcements. It never reads grades, submissions or discussion forums. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it posts announcements and forum replies, sends messages, adds calendar events, enrols and unenrols users, creates and changes courses, adds group members and grants assignment extensions. Announcements email subscribers. Deleting a forum post is permanent, and unenrolling may remove a student's work. Use a dedicated user, never a site administrator.

In Memtro

What you can do with Moodle in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Moodle tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Lists courses with short name, category, dates, whether visible and, for the token user's own courses, how many are enrolled.
  2. 02Shows a course's sections in order, with each activity's opening, due and closing dates.
  3. 03Lists assignments by due date, with the opening, cut-off and grading due dates and maximum points.
  4. 04Reads a course's announcements newest first, with subject, the text cut short, when posted and how many replies.
  5. 05When asked and granted, posts an announcement or discussion that Moodle emails to subscribers, replies to posts, sends messages that cannot be unsent, locks discussions, and permanently deletes a post.
  6. 06When asked and granted, adds calendar events, enrols or unenrols users (unenrolling may remove their work), creates or changes courses, adds group members and grants assignment extensions.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Moodle. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Moodle is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Moodle + Memtro
  • Which assignments are due in Biology this week?

  • How many are enrolled on Biology 101?

  • What is in week 3 of Chemistry 201?

  • What did we tell Biology students this week?

  • Give Sarah Chen and Tom Baker a week's extension on the Biology lab report.

01

Week three at a glance

Priya Sharma, course leader at Northwind, asks what is in week 3 of Biology 101. Memtro reads the course's sections and lists the week's activities with their opening and due dates.

02

Extending a deadline

Tom Reilly, programme administrator at BigCo, asks Memtro to give two named students until next Friday on the Biology lab report. Memtro grants both extensions on that assignment, each student sees the new date in Moodle, and Moodle may notify them.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Moodle most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Moodle is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in People and HR

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withMoodle host, optional path and web service token
  1. 1

    In Moodle, enable web services and the REST protocol, and create a dedicated user for Memtro with a teacher or read-only manager role.

  2. 2

    Under Site administration → Server → Web services, create a custom service with the read functions listed beside the token field, plus only the functions for the actions you want. Then use Manage tokens → Create token for that user.

  3. 3

    In Memtro, open Connections → Moodle and fill in Moodle host, Path (if Moodle is in a folder) and Web service token.

  4. 4

    Ask: which assignments are due in Biology this week?

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Moodle tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Moodle?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: post an announcement or start a forum discussion; reply to a forum post; delete a forum post or discussion; lock or unlock a forum discussion; send a Moodle message to a user; add an event to a course, group or the token user's calendar; enrol a user in a course with a role; unenrol a user from a course; change a course's name, summary, dates or visibility; create a course in a category; add a user to a course group; give named users an assignment extension. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Moodle connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Moodle data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Moodle?+

Moodle host, optional path and web service token. In Moodle, enable web services and the REST protocol, and create a dedicated user for Memtro with a teacher or read-only manager role.
