Setup Guides
Two steps.
That’s the whole setup.
A bCourses token, and a line of config in the AI app you already use. No OpenMind account, no API keys to buy, nothing to deploy.
📘
Step 1 2 min
bCourses access token
Generate a Canvas access token from your bCourses account. This is the one credential OpenMind needs, and it stays in your operating system’s keychain.
🖥
Step 2 3 min
Connect to Claude or ChatGPT
Point Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or the ChatGPT desktop app at OpenMind. One config block per app, no secrets in any of them.
Then, if you want it
Run openmind index --course <id> to make one course’s
slides and readings searchable, so tutoring can quote them with page citations.
It extracts text into a private file on your machine, and
openmind clear deletes it. Nothing is stored until you ask.
