Udemy MCP Server and API by Cotlet

How to connect Udemy to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Udemy account. Udemy's official ChatGPT app helps you discover public courses, and the official Udemy Business connector for Claude needs an Enterprise subscription with the AI Connectors add-on. Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Udemy instructor account to any AI agent, so the AI creates coupons and updates your courses for you.

What you can ask

Create a coupon BLACKFRIDAY26 for my Python Bootcamp course at $12.99, starting November 27 and running for 5 days.

Make a free coupon for 100 students on my Excel for Beginners course and send me the link.

Change the title of my React course to "React 19 Complete Guide" and rewrite the subtitle to match.

Add a lecture called "Deploying to Vercel" at the end of section 8 in my Next.js course and upload this video.

Which of my coupons end this week? Create new ones at the same price for my top 3 courses.

Connect in 2 minutes

Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as COTLET_API_KEY.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps → add connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.

Cursor

Copy .cursor/mcp.json from this repo into your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cotlet": {
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run it locally (stdio)

This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its Udemy tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.

{"mcpServers":{"udemy":{"command":"uvx","args":["udemy-mcp"],"env":{"COTLET_API_KEY":"your-key"}}}}

Or with Docker:

docker build -t udemy-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY udemy-mcp

Tools: udemy_guide, udemy_status, udemy_open, udemy_read, udemy_click, udemy_type, udemy_close. Without COTLET_API_KEY a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".

Command line

Python 3.10+, nothing else to install. From PyPI:

pip install udemy-mcp        # or run it once: uvx udemy-mcp connect
udemy-mcp connect

Or straight from this repo:

export COTLET_API_KEY="your-key"
python3 udemy_agent.py connect   # ready config for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT
python3 udemy_agent.py status    # is Udemy ready in your Cotlet.dev account
python3 udemy_agent.py guide     # Udemy screens and sign-in link
python3 udemy_agent.py read      # open Udemy, read the page, close the browser
python3 udemy_agent.py tools     # list Cotlet.dev tools
python3 udemy_agent.py serve     # start the stdio MCP server (same as no argument)

Questions from Udemy users

Does Udemy have an API?

Udemy has an Instructor API that lists your courses, reads reviews, and reads and answers Q&A questions and direct messages (checked 12 Oct 2026). It has no coupons, announcements, review responses, course edits or revenue. Cotlet.dev works in your own signed-in Udemy account, so your AI agent can create coupons and update courses with no API key and no code.

How do I connect Udemy to ChatGPT?

Udemy's official ChatGPT app helps you discover public courses. To manage your own courses, add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1), sign in to Udemy once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Udemy API key.

Is there a way to use Claude with Udemy?

Yes. Claude lists an official Udemy Business connector, which needs an Enterprise subscription plus the AI Connectors add-on. To work in your own Udemy account, run the one-line claude mcp add command above in Claude Code, or add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as a custom connector in the Claude app.

Is there a Udemy MCP server?

Udemy offers an official Udemy Business connector for Claude, focused on learning. Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in your own Udemy account for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.
