# Thrive MCP Server

The **Thrive MCP Server** is an intelligent bridge between AI assistants and your Thrive platform. Instead of clicking through admin screens, you (and your learners) can manage content, skills, and users – and find the right learning – through natural conversation.

## Works With Your AI Tools

The server speaks the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), so it works with any MCP-compatible AI tool. We provide step-by-step setup guides for:

- **Claude** – on the web ([claude.ai](http://claude.ai)), the desktop app, and Claude Code
- **Microsoft Copilot** – as a custom connector/agent in Copilot Studio
- **Gemini Enterprise** – as an MCP data source in your agent configuration

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> Other MCP-capable tools can connect using the same MCP Server URL, Client ID, and Client Secret. See [Setting up the Thrive MCP Server](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-thrive-mcp-server) for more details.

## What You Can Do

### Manage Learning Content

- Create new learning materials with rich mixed media – text blocks, images, videos, audio, documents, quizzes, assessments, embeds, and more
- Update existing content, including titles, descriptions, and individual components
- Publish finished content or delete drafts
- Build and manage wiki/space pages and posts, with control over layout
- Search across your content library

### Skills and Tags

- Search the skills taxonomy
- View and manage tags (skills, interests, topics) – your own, or, with the right permissions, those of other users
- Add or remove tags individually or in bulk
- Create new tags, and delete tags you no longer need
- Generate AI-suggested tags for your content to improve discoverability
- Adjust user skill levels and targets
- Check tag permissions

### People and Engagement

- See the badges and achievements you've earned – or, with the right permissions, those of other users
- Track learning assignments and progress – your own, or other users' if your permissions allow
- Look up audiences (groups)
- Endorse content to signal quality and relevance to your learners
- Like posts on behalf of the signed-in user

## Built for Learners Too

It isn't only for admins. Your learners can ask their AI assistant to find the right course, surface content matched to their skills and goals, or tap into the knowledge in your portal – all in plain language. The server reasons about what's relevant to each person: their current skill levels, their goals, their assignments, and what they've already achieved.

## Secure Sign-In

Connecting is a one-time setup per tool, carried out by an administrator. When you first connect, a simple browser-based login authenticates you securely using your existing Thrive credentials. The AI tool never sees your password – it only receives a secure token after you've logged in, and access can be revoked at any time.

## Next steps

[Setting up the Thrive MCP Server](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-thrive-mcp-server#who-should-do-this) – connect Thrive to Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or Gemini Enterprise

## Building an Integration?

If you're building a product or AI agent that could benefit from talking to the Thrive MCP Server, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch at [integrations@thrivelearning.com](mailto:integrations@thrivelearning.com).

Any learning material in Thrive, including courses, quizzes, videos, documents, external links, and user-generated resources. Content serves to educate, engage, and assess learners, supporting a wide range of learning experiences across the platform.

Tags applied to content helping users personalise their learning experience and discover relevant development opportunities, either by personal choice or assignment.

Content tags, identified by a hash symbol (#), allowing users to follow their interests to discover relevant content and receive personalised suggestions, primarily appearing in sections on the homepage.
