Pawtograder Documentation

Pawtograder is a course-management and autograding platform for university programming courses. Students push code to GitHub, an autograder runs on each push as a GitHub Action, and results — per-test outcomes, rubric scores, and feedback — flow back into the Pawtograder UI. Beyond grading, Pawtograder includes discussion boards, office-hours queues, polls, surveys, a gradebook, and an MCP server and CLI for power users.
