- A **System Admin** account in Brightspace.
- All LTI 1.3 parameters from mentorAI:
  - **Domain**
  - **Redirect URL(s)**
  - **OpenID Connect Login URL**
  - **Key-set (JWK) URL**
  - **Target Link URI** (points to the specific mentor you want to surface)


## Register the Tool

- Log in as a system admin and click the **gear icon**.
- Choose **Manage Extensibility**.
- Open the **LTI Advantage** tab.
- Click **Register Tool → Standard**.
- Fill out:
  - **Name and Description** (anything you like)
  - Paste the **Domain**, **Redirect URL(s)**, **OpenID Connect Login URL**, and **Key-set URL** provided by mentorAI
  - **Target Link URI** → link to the exact mentor (varies per integration)
- Leave **Extensions**, **Roles**, **Substitution Parameters**, and **Custom Parameters** blank unless mentorAI instructs otherwise.
- Save the registration.
- Copy the **Registration Details** (they include the issuer, client ID, etc.) and send them back to mentorAI so they can complete their side of the setup.


## Create a Deployment

- In the same **LTI Advantage** area, click **View Deployments**.
- Choose **New Deployment** (or open the one you just created).
- Under **Security Settings**, check the user-related boxes so Brightspace passes learner identity to mentorAI.
- If the mentor will push grades back, enable **Assignments and Grade Services**.
- Under **Configuration Settings**, tick **Make Tool Available to the Org** so any course can use it.
- Save the deployment.
- Copy the **Deployment ID** and provide it to mentorAI (needed to finish the integration).


## Create a Link to the Mentor

- Still inside the deployment, click **View Links → New Link**.
- Fill out:
  - **Name** (e.g., “mentorAI – Biology Tutor”)
  - **URL** → the same **Target Link URI** you used in registration
  - **Type of Launch** → Basic
- Save the link.


## Add the Mentor to a Course

- Return to the Brightspace homepage and open a course.
- Navigate to the content area or module where you want the mentor.
- Click **Add Existing → External Tool Activity**.
- Select **mentorAI** from the tool list.
- **Publish** the item so learners can see it.


## Summary

- **Register Tool** with mentorAI-supplied URLs.
- **Deploy it**, enabling user identity (and grade services if needed).
- **Create a Link** pointing to the specific mentor.
- **Insert the link** into any course via **External Tool Activity**.


Your mentorAI assistant is now live in Brightspace, ready to help learners directly inside their course pages.
