Understand Articulate MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools securely connect to external services. Articulate MCP uses this connection to bridge your AI chat tool, like Claude or ChatGPT, and your Articulate 360 account. Once the connection is established, the work you start in chat can show up where you actually build.

Articulate MCP lets you do two things from your AI chat tool:

• Build training. Describe your course topic, audience, and goals, and AI generates a draft outline in Rise 360, ready for you to review and build on. Frontline customers can also initiate package creation the same way.
• Browse existing content. List and filter your existing Rise 360 courses and Frontline packages without switching tools.

Set Up Articulate MCP

The setup process depends on your AI tool subscription. If your organization uses Claude Enterprise or ChatGPT Enterprise, Business, or Education, an IT admin must first add the Articulate connector before individual users can connect. If you're on a personal plan, you can skip straight to connecting your own account.

Add the Connector for Claude Enterprise

To complete these steps, the admin must be an Owner or Primary Owner of the Claude organization.

1. Sign in to Claude and go to Settings > Organization Settings > Connectors.
2. Click Add to add a new custom connector.
3. Enter the following details:

4. Click Add to save the connector.

Once saved, the connector appears in your organization's connector catalog, and individual users can connect their own accounts from there.

Add the Connector for ChatGPT Enterprise, Business, or Education

The admin must be a Workspace Owner to complete these steps.

1. Sign in to ChatGPT and go to Workspace Settings > Apps.
   • Developer mode may need to be enabled in workspace settings before custom apps are available.
2. Click Create to add a new custom app.
3. Enter the following details:

4. Save and publish the app to your workspace.

Once the Articulate app has been published, users in your organization can find and connect to it from Settings > Apps.

Connect to Articulate MCP

Once your IT admin has added the connector, or if you’re on a personal plan, you can follow these steps to connect your own Articulate account.

Create or Browse Content With Articulate MCP

Once you’ve completed setup, you can start to build training! Follow these steps:

1. Open a chat in your connected AI tool.
2. Enable or select the Articulate MCP connector.
   • Claude: Click the plus icon in the lower left of the chat box. Select Connectors, then toggle the switch for Articulate MCP.
   • ChatGPT: Click the plus icon in the lower left of the chat box. Then, select More > Articulate MCP.

5. Review and continue building directly in Rise 360.

Frontline customers can follow the same steps to initiate package creation.

Pro tip: The more context you give, the better your draft outline. Include details like the experience level of your audience or any specific outcomes you want learners to walk away with.

If you have other tools connected to your AI chat tool, you can also pull in source materials from places like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Notion.

To browse existing content:

1. Open a chat in your connected AI tool.
2. Enable or select the Articulate MCP connector.
3. Ask your AI tool to list your courses or Frontline packages.
4. Filter or narrow results by describing what you're looking for, such as:
   • Finding content by topic.
   • Seeing what’s recently updated.
   • Locating content published within a time range.
