- You must be a Canvas admin.
- Obtain all LTI parameters from the MentorAI team (redirect URI, target link URL, OpenID details, JWK URL, etc.).


## Create a Developer Key

- In Canvas, open **Admin → Developer Keys**.
- Click **Add Developer Key** and choose **LTI Key**.
- Fill the form:
  - **Name**: mentorAI (or similar).
  - **Owner Email**: your contact.
  - **Configuration Type**: Manual Entry.
  - **Redirect URI**: paste the value supplied by MentorAI.
  - **Title / Description**: e.g., “mentorAI – LTI 1.3 integration.”
  - **Target Link URI**: the mentor link provided by mentorAI.
  - **OpenID Connect Initiation URL**: supplied by mentorAI.
  - **JWK Method**: select **JWK URL** and paste the URL from mentorAI.
  - **Placements**: enable **Account Navigation** (top-level link) and/or **Link Selection** (in-course content).
- Save the key and set its **State** to **On**.
- Note the **Client ID** shown in the list (you’ll need it shortly).


## Register the Key as an App

- Navigate to **Admin → Settings → Apps**.
- Click **View App Configurations → Add App**.
- Choose **By Client ID**.
- Paste the **Client ID** from the Developer Key page and submit.
- The MentorAI app now appears in the list.
- Open the app’s settings to confirm or adjust **Placements**.
- Copy the **Deployment ID(s)**—send them to mentorAI so they can finalize the provider-side setup.


## Add mentorAI to a Course

- Go to **Courses** and open the desired course.
- Enter **Modules**.
- Click **+ Module**, give it a name, and **Add Module**.
- Inside the new module, press **+** to add an item.
- Select **External Tool**.
- Choose **mentorAI** from the list (URL and page name auto-populate).
- Leave **Load in a New Tab** unchecked unless preferred.
- Click **Add Item**, then **Publish** the module item.
- Once published, learners will see and access the integrated mentor directly in Canvas.


## Recap

- **Developer Key** creates the LTI credentials.
- **Client ID** registers the app inside Canvas.
- **Deployment ID** completes provider-side setup.
