Build training from Claude or Codex

What you need

• A Helpable plan or trial.
• A role that builds training: owner, admin, training manager or course creator.
• Claude (a plan with custom connectors), Claude Code, or Codex.

The server address

Every app uses the same address. You also find it in Helpable under Settings → Integrations → Connected apps.

https://gethelpable.com/api/mcp

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Name it Helpable and paste the server address.
3. Click Connect. Sign in to Helpable, pick the workspace and choose what Claude may do.
4. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner of your Claude organization may need to add the connector first.

Claude Code

Add the server, then run /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http helpable https://gethelpable.com/api/mcp

Codex

Add Helpable to ~/.codex/config.toml, then sign in once:

[mcp_servers.helpable]
url = "https://gethelpable.com/api/mcp"

codex mcp login helpable

Can't use a browser (a server or script)? Make a personal access token in Settings → Integrations → Connected apps, put it in an environment variable, and point Codex at it:

[mcp_servers.helpable]
url = "https://gethelpable.com/api/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "HELPABLE_TOKEN"

What to ask

• “Make a draft course on our returns policy, based on the articles about returns. Three short lessons and a quiz of five questions.”
• “Add a quiz to the onboarding course with an explanation for every answer.”
• “Create a roleplay where a new cashier handles an annoyed customer who wants a refund after 40 days.”
• “Which questions in the safety course quiz do people get wrong?”

What it can and can't do

• Look at your courses, quizzes and published articles and procedures.
• Create draft courses, text lessons, lessons that link an article, procedure or roleplay, quizzes with explanations, and draft roleplay scenarios.
• Add lessons only to courses that are still drafts.

It can never publish, assign training, delete anything, or see people, billing or settings. A person publishes in Helpable.

Safety

• The app works as you, in the one workspace you picked, with the same permissions you have in Helpable. If your role changes, so does what the app can do.
• Sign-in uses OAuth with PKCE. Access tokens last an hour and renew on their own; Helpable stores only a fingerprint of each token.
• Personal access tokens are shown once and stop after 7, 30 or 90 days.
• Every change is in the audit log. You can disconnect an app any time in Settings → Integrations → Connected apps; admins can disconnect anyone's.
