This page walks through connecting Skillsail to your AI assistant so it can build and edit modules in your workspace.

​
What you’ll need

  • A Skillsail account.
  • An AI assistant that can connect to external tools through MCP. Claude Desktop, Cursor, and several others can do this.

​
Add the Skillsail connector

1

Open your assistant's connector or MCP settings

The menu name varies by assistant. Look for “Connectors”, “Tools”, “MCP”, or a similar settings area.
2

Add Skillsail as a connector

Skillsail runs online, so there is nothing to install. If your assistant asks for a connection type, choose Streamable HTTP.
3

Enter the Skillsail connection address

4

Sign in to Skillsail when prompted

Your assistant will open a Skillsail sign-in window. Sign in with the same account you use in the Skillsail web app.
5

Pick your organization

If your account belongs to more than one organization, choose the workspace you want the assistant to act in.
6

Verify the connection

Ask the assistant something simple like “Are you connected to Skillsail?” or “List my Skillsail modules.” A working connection returns your modules; a failed one will say so.

​
Working with multiple organizations

The assistant can only see the organization tied to the sign-in you completed during setup. If you switch organizations later, you may need to reconnect Skillsail in your assistant’s settings so it picks up the new workspace.

​
Test prompts to try once connected

  • “List my Skillsail modules.”
  • “Create a new module called ‘First day safety basics’.”
  • “Open the module called ‘Phishing 101’ and tell me what slides it has.”

​
Troubleshooting

Reconnect Skillsail from your assistant’s connector settings and sign in again.
Make sure you signed in with the right account, and that the module is in the organization the assistant is connected to. If you recently switched organizations, reconnect.
Some assistants cannot connect to online MCP tools yet. Check your assistant’s documentation for MCP connector support. If that option does not exist, that assistant cannot connect to Skillsail yet.
Sign-in windows may be blocked by pop-up blockers in some setups. Allow pop-ups for your assistant and try again.
