companyLEARN in the chat

Through the Learn MCP server, companyLEARN is also available in the CompanyGPT chat. The assistant finds courses, enrolls you, shows your progress and opens lessons and quizzes right in the conversation. It works with your account: whatever you complete in the chat counts exactly as it does in the interface.

You need the Use courses permission (see Permissions).

Enabling the MCP server

Select the Learn MCP server in the chat – the same way you add other MCP servers to a conversation. General information is on MCP Server. After that, a request in plain language is enough, for example “Which courses are available?”.

The tools

The server provides seven tools. You don’t call them yourself: the assistant picks them based on your request and takes the identifiers (IDs) of courses, lessons and quizzes from its earlier results.

Tool	Purpose	Inputs
learn_list_courses	List published courses, each with enrollment status and progress	optional enrolledOnly: only courses you are enrolled in
learn_course_overview	Outline of a course with chapters, lessons and quiz, including lock and completion status	courseId
learn_enroll	Enroll in a published course and name the first lesson; calling it again changes nothing	courseId
learn_my_progress	Progress across all enrolled, published courses, with a suggestion for the next step in each	–
learn_watch_lesson	Show a lesson (video or text) in the chat	lessonId
learn_take_quiz	Show a quiz in the chat	quizId
learn_open_ui	Open companyLEARN’s interface in the chat: dashboard (default), course catalog or a specific course	optional page (dashboard, courses or course) and courseId (required for course)

The tools only list published courses. Lessons and quizzes can only be opened after enrolling and only in unlocked chapters; otherwise the assistant receives a corresponding notice, for example that you need to enroll first. You cannot create or change courses through the chat – that is what course management is for.

Lessons and quizzes in the chat

learn_watch_lesson, learn_take_quiz and learn_open_ui show companyLEARN right in the conversation, without sidebar and menu:

• Lesson: The title plus course and chapter are shown at the top, below them the Mark complete button, then the video or the text. A video that plays to the end is marked as done automatically.
• Quiz: You answer the questions, click Submit answers and see the result – just as in the interface (see Quiz). In addition, the quiz automatically sends your result to the conversation as a message, with score, pass threshold and number of correct answers. This lets the assistant respond to it right away, for example by suggesting the next step. Retry starts a new attempt; its result also arrives in the chat as a new message.
• Interface: The dashboard, the course catalog or a course page appear as in companyLEARN, only without the sidebar.

Below an embedded lesson or quiz, Open full course opens the course in companyLEARN in a new tab.

Tip

After a lesson, simply ask for the next step, for example “What’s next?”. Using learn_my_progress, the assistant can then retrieve your current status and suggest the right lesson or quiz. After a quiz, this is not necessary: the assistant receives the result automatically.

Assigning the Learn tools to an agent

Instead of enabling the MCP server in every chat, you can create an agent with the Learn tools, for example as a learning companion for your team. companyLEARN does not ship ready-made agents or skills.

1. Create an agent or open an existing one (see Agents).

2. Add the Learn MCP server to the agent and select the tools it should use. For a learning companion, all seven are usually useful.

3. Add short instructions, for example:

   You support employees learning with companyLEARN.
   Use the Learn tools to find courses, show progress and open
   lessons and quizzes directly in the chat. After each step,
   suggest the next one. When you show a lesson or a quiz, do not
   write any additional introductory text.

4. Save the agent and share it with your team if needed.

Note

The agent always works with the account of the person currently chatting with it: it sees that person’s enrollments and progress. Everyone who uses the agent needs the Use courses permission.
