Issue Description:
I'm experiencing a technical problem with the Canvas MCP server integration. When trying to post to discussion boards through the API, I'm getting an "Unknown tool" error. Specifically, the canvas_post_to_discussion function is not being recognized by the system, even though other Canvas functions like listing courses and assignments are working properly.
What's happening:
- The Canvas connection itself is working fine (I can see courses, assignments, etc.)
- When attempting to post to discussions, the tool returns "Error: Unknown tool: canvas_post_to_discussion"
- This suggests there's a mismatch between the available tools and the function calls being made
Technical details:
- The function signature appears correct:
canvas_post_to_discussion(course_id, topic_id, message) - Other Canvas MCP functions are functioning normally
- This appears to be a server-side tool registration issue rather than a connection problem
Impact:
- Unable to automatically post discussion responses through the MCP integration
- Need to manually copy/paste responses into Canvas
- The integration is partially functional but missing key discussion posting capabilities
This seems like a configuration issue where the discussion posting tool wasn't properly registered or is named differently than expected in the MCP server setup.
