MCP server for Synology NAS — browse files, monitor health, and automate operations

Environment

Name	Required	Notes
CANVAS_BASE_URL	Yes	Canvas instance base URL, e.g. https://cms.instructure.com
CANVAS_USERNAME	No	Canvas login username/email (recommended) — pair with CANVAS_PASSWORD for auto-login. No SSO/2FA.
CANVAS_PASSWORD	No	Canvas password (recommended) — required iff CANVAS_USERNAME is set Secret.
CANVAS_TOKEN	No	Canvas personal access token (advanced) — most schools have disabled token creation Secret.
CANVAS_CLIENT_ID	No	Canvas OAuth client ID (advanced — for SSO accounts that can't use username/password)
CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET	No	Canvas OAuth client secret (advanced) Secret.
CANVAS_REFRESH_TOKEN	No	Canvas OAuth refresh token (advanced) — bootstrap via canvas-parent-mcp-qr-login Secret.
CANVAS_NAME	No	Friendly name for the Canvas instance (defaults to the host portion of the base URL)
CANVAS_SESSION_CACHE	No	Set to false to disable the on-disk session cache and re-authenticate on every process start. Defaults to enabled.
CANVAS_SESSION_FILE	No	Absolute path for the session cache file. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/.canvas-parent-mcp/session.json.
CANVAS_OUTPUT_DIR	No	Directory canvas_download_file may write into (default ~/Downloads). A relative destinationPath is resolved against it.
CANVAS_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY	No	Set to 1 to turn off the browser (fetchproxy) fallback, so missing credentials are a hard error instead.
FETCHPROXY_WS_PORT	No	Localhost port of the fetchproxy concentrator the ContextMint Bridge extension connects to (default 37149). Every MCP on one machine shares it, so move it for all of them or not at all.
FETCHPROXY_WS_HOST	No	Bind interface for the fetchproxy concentrator, a literal IP only (default 127.0.0.1). Keep on loopback; it exists for hosted deployments that run each MCP in its own network namespace.
FETCHPROXY_IDENTITY_DIR	No	Absolute path where the fetchproxy long-term identity keypair is stored (default ~/.fetchproxy/identity/).
