Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Skilljar

Ask your AI to enroll a learner in a course, check how far someone has come, or add people to a group in Skilljar. It can search learners, courses and learning paths, read lesson-by-lesson progress and manage who has access to each training domain. Routine LMS admin gets done from a chat instead of the Skilljar dashboard.

“Enroll [email protected] in the Onboarding Basics course.”

It reads his lesson-by-lesson progress in that published course.
“Which courses is Mark enrolled in, and has he finished them?”
It lists his enrolled courses with progress and completion status.

What your AI can do

Enrollments and learning paths

Enroll learners in published courses and learning paths, register them for virtual instructor-led sessions, and change or deactivate enrollments.

Learners and progress

Search learners by email or name, update their details, and see their courses, learning paths and lesson progress.

Groups and domain access

Add and remove learners from groups, give access to a domain, and activate, deactivate or set an expiry on that access.

“Add these three learners to the Partner Training group.”
It looks up the group ID and adds each learner to the group.
“Give [email protected] access to our partner domain until 31 December.”
It gives her access to the domain with that expiry date and creates the user if she is new.
“Who is enrolled in the Product Fundamentals course?”
It lists the enrollments in that published course.

Questions

What can the AI do in Skilljar?

It can search and read learners, courses, published courses, learning paths, groups, domains, instructor-led sessions and enrollments, including a learner's lesson progress. It can enroll learners in courses and learning paths, register them for virtual sessions, give or change domain access, update learner details and add or remove learners from groups.

Does the AI see my Skilljar API key?

No. Your Skilljar API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with lookups only. Removing a learner from a group, and other changes like deactivating access, can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Skilljar account.

Which Skilljar domain does the AI use?

Skilljar publishes courses on domains, which are your training sites. The AI can list your domains and uses the domain name in enrollment and access tools. Name the domain in your request, or let the AI list them first so you can pick one.
