Overview

We recommend the following steps for instructors wishing to set-up LLM grader:

• Install the LLM Grader python package on a local machine
• Set the Google OAuth credentials for administrator access
• Selector an IDE to edit the XML files for the class. We recommend VS Code.
• If you are using VS Code, optionally configure an MCP server to enable automatic agentic assistance in building the course material
• Set Gradescope keys if you wish to use the digital signing feature with integration with Gradescope.
