Give your AI agents the keys to your academy

LearnBase ships with a public REST API and a built-in Model Context Protocol server so any AI agent can read and write to your tenant with a single API key.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol

MCP is an open protocol from Anthropic that lets AI agents discover and call tools. It is the standard way Claude Desktop, Cursor, and the ChatGPT desktop app connect to external systems.

Every LearnBase tenant exposes an MCP server at /v1/mcp. The server wraps our public API, so AI agents can list your catalog, enroll students, create courses, upload videos, and more — scoped to whatever the API key you issue allows.

One-line install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "learnbase": {
      "url": "https://api.uselearnbase.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "lb_xxx..."
      }
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Create a custom connector in ChatGPT pointing at your MCP URL with the X-API-Key header.

Security

You stay in control

Every request is authenticated with an API key you create from your dashboard. Keys are scoped (read:courses, write:users, full:access, etc.) and can be rotated or revoked at any time.

All calls are logged and rate-limited. Agents can only touch data in your tenant — never across tenants. When in doubt, start with a read-only key and expand from there.
