Does Skool have an MCP server?
Not an official one. Skool has no MCP server and no public API. StickyHive runs a hosted Skool MCP server at https://stickyhive.ai/mcp/ with 90 tools. You add that URL to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor as a connector, sign in, and your AI can read and manage your Skool community.
There's nothing to download or host. It's included in every paid StickyHive plan, and you can try it free for 14 days.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants like Claude and Cursor actually do things in the real world — not just chat. It's how AI tools connect to external services: databases, APIs, platforms, and now your Skool community.
Think of it as giving your AI assistant hands. Instead of copying content from ChatGPT and pasting it into Skool, you say "Schedule this post for Thursday at 9am" and it happens. That's MCP.
The Problem: AI Can't Touch Skool
You're probably already using AI to write community posts, generate engagement prompts, and plan content calendars. But here's where the workflow breaks:
The Copy-Paste Gap
- No native Skool MCP. Skool doesn't offer MCP support. AI tools can't connect to your community directly.
- No official Skool API. There's no first-party API to build integrations against. The third-party API is limited to basic webhooks.
- Manual publishing. You generate content in AI, then manually copy-paste to Skool. Every. Single. Time.
- No calendar awareness. Your AI has no idea what's already scheduled, when gaps exist, or what spaces you have.
- Can't batch operations. Scheduling 20 posts means 20 separate manual operations in Skool's interface.
What It Looks Like in Practice
Once StickyHive's MCP server is connected, your AI conversations become actionable:
Example: Planning next week's content in Claude
get_available_slots. You have posts scheduled Monday 9am and Wednesday 2pm, but nothing Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. That's 3 open slots with good engagement windows at 9am and 12pm.• Tue 9am: "What's the biggest win you had this week?" (engagement prompt)
• Thu 9am: "3 frameworks I use for..." (value post)
• Fri 9am: "Weekend challenge: try this one thing..." (action prompt)
All scheduled in your Community space. Want me to adjust any of them?
90 MCP Tools for Full Skool Control
StickyHive's MCP server exposes 90 purpose-built tools across ten groups — giving AI assistants complete access to your Skool operations, lead pages, and social accounts:
Workspace (3 tools)
The starting point for every conversation — see what's connected, load extra tools, and check on background jobs.
Get workspace overview
Your communities, spaces, defaults, and recent drafts in one call. When you have only one community or space, other tools no longer need you to name it.
Load more tools
Load extra tools for a group — scheduling, courses, lead pages, workflows, and more — into the current conversation and refresh the client's tool list.
Check a background job
Check on a background job started by a queued tool, such as a Skool write or a file upload: queued, working, completed, or failed, with the result when it's done.
Post Scheduling (9 tools)
Create & Schedule Posts
Create posts with title, content, scheduling time, pin settings, poll options, and auto-first-comment — all in one call.
Find Calendar Gaps
AI-powered calendar intelligence: finds open time slots in any space, respecting minimum gaps between posts.

A real conversation, start to finish
Here's what a planning session looks like once the connector is set up.
You: "What does my content calendar look like next week? Any gaps in the Community space?"
Claude: "You have posts on Monday at 9am and Wednesday at 2pm, but nothing on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. That's three open slots."
You: "Write three engagement posts for those gaps. Mix question prompts and value posts. Schedule them at 9am."
Claude: "Done. Tuesday 9am is a question prompt, Thursday 9am is a value post and Friday 9am is a weekend challenge. All three are scheduled in your Community space. Want me to change any of them?"
No copying, no pasting, no switching tabs. Claude checked the calendar, wrote the posts and scheduled them in one chat.
Is the Skool MCP server secure?
- You approve access. Claude and ChatGPT connect with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. You sign in to StickyHive and approve the connection on a consent screen, and you can disconnect it anytime from the app's connector settings.
- Access is scoped. A connection can read, or read and write. Publishing social posts is a separate permission you have to tick yourself on the consent screen.
- Your AI never sees your Skool login. StickyHive connects to Skool with a session token from the Chrome extension, not your password, and the AI only talks to StickyHive.
- Other clients use a key you control. Cursor and other MCP clients can authenticate with an API key from your StickyHive account instead of OAuth.
Skool MCP on GitHub, pricing and download
If you search for a Skool MCP on GitHub, you'll find open-source projects. They run on your own computer, log in to Skool with your own session, and you install, update and fix them yourself when Skool changes its site.
StickyHive's Skool MCP server is hosted, so there's no download, no install and no server to keep running. You paste one URL into your AI app. It's included in every paid StickyHive plan, from $29 a month, with a 14-day free trial.

Skool MCP FAQ
What is a Skool MCP server?
A Skool MCP server connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to a Skool community through the Model Context Protocol, so the AI can read and manage the community instead of only writing text. Skool doesn't make one itself. StickyHive runs a hosted one with 90 tools.
Does Skool have an official MCP server?
No. Skool has no official MCP server and no public API. You use a third-party server: StickyHive's hosted one, or an open-source project from GitHub that you run yourself.
How do I connect Claude to my Skool community?
Connect your Skool community to StickyHive (2-minute setup with the Chrome extension). Then add StickyHive to Claude as a custom connector: go to Customize → Connectors, click + Add, choose Add custom connector, paste https://stickyhive.ai/mcp/ and sign in to approve access. It works on claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps. Full steps are in our Connect Claude to Skool guide.
Can I use ChatGPT with my Skool community?
Yes, on ChatGPT's paid plans. Turn on Developer Mode in ChatGPT's settings, create a connector named StickyHive with the URL https://stickyhive.ai/mcp/, choose OAuth and sign in. Then start a new chat, click + and pick StickyHive.
What can I do with the Skool MCP server?
StickyHive's MCP server provides 90 tools across ten groups: 17 for social posts (draft, schedule, and publish to Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, and LinkedIn), 14 for workflow automation (create, test, run, manage exclusion rules), 14 for course management (create courses, sections, pages with rich content, reorder, publish/unpublish, upload media), 12 for lead pages (create from templates, edit content and forms, publish, read analytics and submissions), 11 for DM sequences (create, enroll members, manage enrollments, simulate), 9 for post scheduling (create, update, delete, reschedule, publish, find calendar slots, bulk-schedule), 3 for workspace setup (one-call overview, loading more tools, checking background jobs), 3 for community management (list communities, get and update about page descriptions), 4 for synced community content (read posts and comments from your feed), and 3 for community health audits (overall lifecycle score, per-tab drill-down, and refresh). All accessible through natural language in any MCP-compatible AI tool.
Which AI tools work with StickyHive's Skool MCP server?
Claude (web, desktop and mobile), ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and any other client that supports remote MCP servers. Claude and ChatGPT sign in with OAuth. Other clients can use an API key from your StickyHive account.
Is there a Skool MCP server on GitHub?
Yes, there are open-source Skool MCP projects on GitHub. They run on your own machine and log in with your own Skool session, so you install, host and maintain them. StickyHive's server is hosted, so there's nothing to download.
How much does the Skool MCP server cost?
MCP access is included in every paid StickyHive plan, from $29 a month, and you can try it free for 14 days.
Does Skool have an API?
Not a public one. Skool's only API key is for its official Zapier plugin on the Pro plan, which has two triggers and two actions. StickyHive adds a REST API, webhooks and this MCP server on top of your Skool community. See Skool API: what exists and what to use instead.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Setup is pasting a server URL into your AI app and signing in. After that you just ask in plain English. No terminal commands and no API calls to write.
How is this different from using ChatGPT to write posts?
Writing posts with AI has always been possible. With MCP connected, your AI can also publish, schedule and manage that content inside Skool, instead of you copying its output and pasting it in yourself.
What happens if Skool changes its site?
StickyHive maintains the integration, so it keeps working as Skool changes. You don't need to update anything on your end.
Is my community data safe?
Claude and ChatGPT connect with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE, so you sign in to StickyHive and approve access, and you can disconnect anytime. Other MCP clients use an API key from your StickyHive account. Your AI never sees your Skool password: StickyHive connects to Skool with a session token, and all traffic goes over HTTPS.
