# Connect an assistant

> Add Skillsail to Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible AI assistant.

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your assistant's connector or MCP settings">
    The menu name varies by assistant. Look for "Connectors", "Tools", "MCP", or a similar settings area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the Skillsail connection address">
    ```txt theme={null}
    https://skillsail.com/mcp
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your organization">
    If your account belongs to more than one organization, choose the workspace you want the assistant to act in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The assistant asks you to sign in again">
    Reconnect Skillsail from your assistant's connector settings and sign in again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The assistant can't see one of my modules">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My assistant does not show Skillsail or online MCP tools">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The assistant keeps asking me to sign in">
    Sign-in windows may be blocked by pop-up blockers in some setups. Allow pop-ups for your assistant and try again.
  </Accordion>
