Grade an entire class by chatting with Claude
The Proctor AI MCP is a Model Context Protocol connector that turns Claude into a fully capable AI teaching assistant. Once added, Claude can use every Proctor AI grading tool through natural conversation: splitting a class PDF, reading handwritten answer sheets, grading against your rubric, flagging copying with page-level evidence, and drafting personalised feedback for each student.
You bring your own Claude account. Proctor AI is free to start. The teacher stays the final grader on every mark that goes home.
How to connect Claude to Proctor AI in three steps

Example prompts teachers already run
- Grade the Class 10B math quiz I uploaded this morning. Use the rubric I attached. Flag any copying and give me the class average.
- Write a short, warm feedback note for every student in Grade 8. Mention one thing they nailed and one thing to work on before Friday.
- Aarav Kumar's marks dropped in the last quiz. Compare his last three papers and tell me which topics are slipping.
- Here is my ideal answer for Q4. Draft a five-point rubric and use it to grade every submission for that question.
- Give me a report of Class 9A's performance across the three unit tests this term. Chart the weakest chapters.
Bring your own Claude
You already pay Anthropic for Claude. Use it. Proctor AI never marks up the model, so bulk grading runs on Claude tokens you control, at Anthropic's own pricing. Proctor AI charges only for the platform and grading workflow, and starts free.
Who this is for
- Class teachers who want to grade a full section in the time it takes to reheat dinner.
- Coaching centres running weekly mocks without hiring an army of correctors.
- Schools and academies standardising a rubric across sections.
- Curriculum leads pulling cohort trends across a term.

Is my class data private?
Yes. Class data lives in your Proctor AI account and is only touched when Claude calls a tool for the request you just made. Nothing you upload is used to train any AI model.
Does this work with Claude Code and the CLI?
Yes. Add the same URL as an MCP server in your Claude Code .mcp.json. Anywhere Claude runs, Proctor AI grading is one prompt away.
What if my students write in Hindi or Kannada?
