Docsie MCP server · Training courses

Turn a video or a PDF into a course from your AI assistant.

Give Claude, ChatGPT or your IDE a training video or a manual. Docsie's Video to Course and PDF to Course apps build the lessons and a quiz, and your assistant tells you what was built.

Runs the same Video to Course and PDF to Course apps as Docsie. Uses AI credits. Docsie Learn needs the Hobby plan or higher.

https://app.docsie.io/mcpWorks in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any MCP client.

01

Lessons and a quiz from one recording

A Video to Course result in Docsie: 2 modules, 1 lesson and a 4-question quiz, a handbook to download, and the course ready to open in Docsie Learn. The same app runs over MCP.

What you can ask

Ask for a course, not a summary.

Your assistant runs Video to Course on a recording or PDF to Course on a document, then reads back the modules, lessons and quiz it built.

How it works

How course creation works over MCP.

Point it at the source

For Video to Course, give a YouTube, Loom, Vimeo or Google Drive link, a direct video URL or a video in Docsie. For PDF to Course, use a PDF or Word file in your workspace.

Docsie builds the course

The app writes lessons and a quiz from the video or document. For a PDF you can name the course and say who it's for.

Review, then publish

Open the course in Docsie Learn to edit, publish and assign it. With the Full Docsie workspace agent pack, your assistant can do those steps too.

Permissions and limits

What to tick, and what it costs.

Two packs to know

Running Video to Course or PDF to Course needs Workspace create and edit. Publishing, adding modules, assigning to a portal tenant and SCORM export need the Full Docsie workspace agent pack. Both are off by default.

AI credits and plan

Each course run uses your organization's AI credits. Docsie Learn, where the course lives, needs the Hobby plan or higher. It isn't on Free.

Upload documents first

PDF to Course reads a PDF or Word file that's already in your Docsie workspace, so add the file to Docsie before you ask.

FAQ

Common questions

Can Claude or ChatGPT create a training course?

On their own they can draft an outline in the chat. Connected to the Docsie MCP server, they can run Docsie's Video to Course and PDF to Course apps, which build a course with lessons and a quiz in your Docsie workspace.

What does a course include?

Lessons and a quiz built from the video or document. A Video to Course run also returns a handbook document you can download.

Which sources work?

Video to Course takes YouTube, Loom, Vimeo and Google Drive links, direct video URLs and videos already in Docsie. PDF to Course takes a PDF or Word file in your workspace.

Can my assistant publish the course and enroll people?

Yes, with the Full Docsie workspace agent pack ticked on the sign-in screen. It covers publishing, adding modules and assigning the course to a portal tenant, which enrolls that tenant's viewers.

Can I export a course to SCORM?

Yes. SCORM export over MCP needs the Full Docsie workspace agent pack, which is off by default.

Which plan do I need?

The MCP server is on every Docsie plan. Docsie Learn needs Hobby or higher, and each course run uses AI credits.
