Learn Amp MCP Connector (alpha testing)

Overview

The Learn Amp MCP Connector lets you plug Learn Amp into Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, so you can ask questions about your platform in plain English and get answers pulled live from your own Learn Amp data. Ask "which learners haven't started their onboarding pathway?" and Claude answers from your instance, right inside the conversation you're already having.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard Claude uses to connect to external systems. Once connected, Claude can see and use the same data available through the Learn Amp API — users, teams, learning content, enrolments, activities and more.

This connector is currently in Early Access. It's live and ready to use, but your Learn Amp account team switches on access per company, and a few parts of the experience are still evolving (see Availability and what's coming below).

What you can ask

Once you're connected, you can explore your Learn Amp data conversationally. For example:

"Which learners haven't started their onboarding pathway?"
"Give me a completion summary for the Leadership Essentials course."
"Which channels have had the most content added in the last 30 days?"
"What learning content do we have tagged under 'compliance'?"

Claude reads your data using your access token, so it sees exactly what your own account can see.

Availability and what's coming

We're rolling the connector out gradually so we can support early adopters closely. Here's an honest picture of where things stand.

What's here now

Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code to your Learn Amp instance and query your data live.
Your Learn Amp account team enables access per company — you won't be able to connect until they've switched it on for you.
Your account team gives you the exact server address to use, so there's nothing to work out about regions or hosting.

⚠️ Your token currently has full access. During Early Access, the access token carries the same authority as your admin account — it can read, create, change and delete data through the API. Treat it like an admin password: don't share it, don't post it in chat tools, and only paste it into Claude clients you trust. If in doubt, regenerate it (which instantly revokes the old one).

What's coming next

Read-only access — scoped tokens that can look but not touch, so you can safely hand Claude read access without write or delete authority.
One-click sign-in — signing in to Learn Amp from Claude directly (including from http://claude.ai in the browser), instead of generating and pasting a token.
Listing in Claude's connector directory — so connecting Learn Amp becomes a built-in option inside Claude.

Pre-requisites

Before you connect, you'll need three things:

Early Access switched on for your company. Contact your Learn Amp account team to request it — they enable the connector and give you your server address.
API access in your Learn Amp package. If you already use the Learn Amp API, you have this.
A Claude client that supports remote MCP servers — such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Connecting from http://claude.ai in the browser isn't supported yet.

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Ask your account team to enable Early Access

Your Learn Amp account team switches the connector on for your company and gives you your server address. You can't connect until this is done, so this is always the first step.

Step 2: Generate your access token

Log in to Learn Amp as an Owner or Admin.
From the sidebar, go to Settings > Company > API (labelled API & sFTP if your plan includes SFTP transfers).
In the MCP access token section, select Generate MCP access token.
Copy it straight away — for security, it won't be shown again. If you lose it, generate a new one.

Tokens are valid for 30 days. Generating a new token revokes your previous one, so you always have exactly one live token — and regenerating is how you revoke a token you no longer trust.

Step 3: Connect Claude

Use the server address your account team gave you.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http learnamp \
  YOUR-SERVER-ADDRESS \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"

Claude Desktop (and other apps that use a config file)

Claude Desktop connects through a small bridge utility called mcp-remote, which needs Node.js installed. Go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "learnamp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "YOUR-SERVER-ADDRESS",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Save and restart Claude Desktop. Learn Amp appears in the tools menu once connected.

💡 Tip: Your server address ends in /mcp. If your account team gave you an address ending in /sse, ask them for the updated one — the older format is no longer supported.

Step 4: Test it

Ask Claude something simple, such as "Can you list the first 10 users in Learn Amp?" If Claude answers with real data from your platform, you're connected.

FAQs

Q: How do I get access?
Contact your Learn Amp account team. Early Access is enabled per company, and they'll switch it on and give you your server address.

Q: How is this different from Volt?
Volt is Learn Amp's own built-in AI assistant, ready to use inside the platform. The MCP Connector works the other way round: it lets you bring your Learn Amp data into your own external assistant, such as Claude. Use Volt for help inside Learn Amp; use the connector when you want your Learn Amp data in the AI tools your team already works in.

Q: Do I need to know which region or pod my platform is on?
No. Your account team gives you the exact server address to use, so there's nothing to look up.

Q: How long does my token last?
30 days. When Claude starts reporting that it can't connect, generate a fresh token from Settings > Company > API and update it in your Claude configuration.

Q: What can Claude actually do with my data?
Claude sees and acts with the same authority as your account. During Early Access every token carries full read, write and delete access, so treat it like an admin credential and only connect clients you trust. Scoped read-only access is coming.

Q: Can I connect from http://claude.ai in the browser?
Not yet — browser-based connectors need a sign-in flow that's on the roadmap. For now, use Claude Desktop or Claude Code.

Q: Is my data shared with anyone?
Claude accesses your Learn Amp data using your token and handles it under your organisation's agreement with Anthropic. Anything Claude retrieves becomes part of your conversation with Claude, so check your own AI and data-handling policies before connecting.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution

Issue	Solution
Claude says it can't connect, or authorisation failed	The token is wrong, expired or revoked. Generate a fresh one from Settings > Company > API and update your configuration.
"Access denied" when connecting	Early Access isn't enabled for your company yet, or your package doesn't include API access. Contact your Learn Amp account team.
The MCP access token section is missing in Settings	Either the connector isn't enabled for your company yet, or you're not signed in as an Owner or Admin.
Claude connects but answers are slow or requests fail now and then	Fair-use rate limits keep the service responsive for everyone. We may briefly throttle heavy automated use — try again shortly.

Data and privacy

Claude accesses Learn Amp with your token, so it sees what your account can see. Anything Claude retrieves becomes part of your conversation with Claude and is handled under your organisation's agreement with Anthropic. Check your organisation's AI and data-handling policies before connecting, and make sure the right people know the integration is in place.
