Coursebox MCP by usefulapi

Use your Coursebox account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Create and edit courses, sections and lessons, fill lessons with Coursebox's AI, and publish or unpublish courses. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://coursebox.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://coursebox.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http coursebox https://coursebox.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coursebox": {
      "url": "https://coursebox.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Coursebox credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/coursebox/

On first connect you provide your Coursebox portal name (myportal from myportal.coursebox.ai) and your Coursebox Open API key, found under Settings → Integrations → Open API. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
