Connect Claude with a connector (web, desktop and mobile)

Connect Claude to your LMSable account with a custom connector, so Claude can read your courses directly, instead of you pasting them in by hand.

This is the recommended method, also for Claude Desktop. A remote custom connector like this one works in Claude on the web, in Claude Desktop and in the Claude mobile apps, with no files to edit on your computer.

Before you start

You need a Claude account with the custom connectors feature. On the Claude Free, Pro and Max plans you add the connector yourself; the Free plan is limited to one custom connector. On the Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds it for the organization.

Reading and editing your courses from Claude works on every LMSable plan.

Steps

  1. In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors, click Add and choose Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it in Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web.
  2. Name it LMSable, paste the LMSable connector address shown on the connections screen and click Continue. In the next step leave the detected sign-in settings as they are, click Add and then Connect.
    The Claude on the web connector steps on LMSable, with the connector address https://lmsable.com/mcp to paste into Claude
    The connector address to paste into Claude is shown on the AI chat connection guide.
  3. If LMSable asks you to sign in, enter the 6-digit code from your e-mail.
  4. On the LMSable consent screen, choose an access level: Read only, or Read and edit. Every edit Claude makes saves a lesson version first, so you can always go back.
  5. Click Allow.

What you should see

Claude confirms the connection. Ask it "List my courses" to check it can see your account.

Disconnecting

In Claude: go to Customize → Connectors, find LMSable and click Remove, or open its three-dot menu and remove it there. You can also revoke the access under Connected apps on LMSable's AI chat connection screen.

If something goes wrong

  • 401 Unauthorized when Claude tries to use the connection: the connection may have been revoked - reconnect from step 1.
  • "This course is archived because your account exceeds the Free plan limit.": editing from the chat works on every plan, but on Free only your active course can be edited. Make this course your active course or upgrade to Pro. A "Denied" message about the missing scope means the connection is read only - reconnect with Read and edit. See Free and Pro: what is included.
  • The consent screen shows a different app name than expected: check it carefully before clicking Allow - it names the exact application requesting access.
