Skool MCP

Give Claude access to your Skool community. Posts, comments, members, classroom, and your DM inbox.

Ask Claude things like "what did people post this week?", "draft a reply to the last 5 DMs", or "pull my member list into a spreadsheet". It runs on your computer, using your own Skool login.

Unofficial. Not built by Skool, not affiliated with Skool.

What you can do with it

13 tools. The read ones are safe to fire off. The write ones post publicly under your name, so Claude should confirm the wording with you first.

Tool	What it does	Read or write
skool_whoami	Confirms your Skool login works and lists the communities you belong to. Run this first when something breaks.	read

skool_get_post	Reads one full post and its comments.	read
skool_create_post	Publishes a new post to your community feed.	write
skool_comment_on_post	Adds a comment to a post.	write
skool_list_members	Lists members of your community: id, name, email, short bio.	read
skool_list_courses	Lists the classroom courses in your community.	read
skool_get_lesson	Reads a course's modules and lessons, and the content of one lesson.	read

Before you start

• macOS or Windows. (Linux is untested.)
• Claude Code or Claude Desktop.
• A Skool account that is actually a member of the community you want to connect.
• That's it. You do not need Python installed. The setup installs everything it needs.

Install

Step 1. Get the folder onto your computer. Either way works.

Option A, if you have git:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Solnest-AI/skool-mcp-community.git skool-mcp

That drops it at ~/skool-mcp, which is exactly where you want it.

Option B, the ZIP:

1. Download the ZIP (on the repo page: green Code button, then Download ZIP).
2. Unzip it.
3. Rename the folder to skool-mcp and move it so it sits directly in your home folder.

Step 2. Put it in the right place. This matters more than it sounds like it should.

• Mac: ~/skool-mcp (that is /Users/yourname/skool-mcp)
• Windows: C:\Users\yourname\skool-mcp

Not Documents. Not Desktop. Not Downloads. macOS locks down those folders, and background tasks that try to read them fail in a way that is genuinely annoying to debug. Home folder, done.

Step 3. Point Claude at the folder and say "set this up".

In Claude Code:

cd ~/skool-mcp
claude

Then type: Set this up.

Claude reads SETUP.md and runs the whole thing: installs the tools, opens a browser so you can log into Skool yourself, verifies the connection, registers the server, and tests it. It stops and asks you when it needs you.

Setting up for Claude Desktop instead? Same thing. Run the setup from Claude Code (or by hand), and at the registration step tell Claude you want to use it in Claude Desktop.

How this works and what to know

Read this part. It is short and it is the honest version.

Skool has no official API. There is no developer program, no API key, no supported way in. So this does what your browser does: it uses your own logged-in session to talk to the same internal endpoints the Skool website uses.

Your login stays on your machine. During setup, a real browser window opens and you log into Skool yourself, exactly like normal (Google sign-in and 2FA both work). The script reads the session cookie out of that browser and writes it to a local file called .env. Nothing is sent to Solnest, to Anthropic, or anywhere else.

Never paste your cookie into a chat. Not to Claude, not to me, not to anyone in the community being helpful. That cookie is your entire Skool account: your posts, your DMs, your billing, your members. Anyone holding it is logged in as you. Setup is built so the cookie never has to appear in a conversation, and Claude is instructed to refuse if you offer it.

.env is your password file. Treat it exactly like one. Don't open it in a screenshare, don't screenshot it, don't paste it anywhere, don't drop it in Drive or Slack. The bundle is already set up to keep it out of any code you upload, so you mostly just have to not go out of your way to share it. If you ever think it leaked, log out of Skool everywhere and re-run setup.

The tools act as you. A post created by skool_create_post is your post. A DM is from you. It looks identical to typing it yourself, because functionally it is. Have Claude read the draft back to you before anything goes out.

Only use it on communities you actually belong to. These are your own credentials against your own memberships. Don't get cute.

Skool can break it. No official API means no stability promise. If Skool changes their site, tools can stop working overnight. When something breaks, run the doctor first:

cd ~/skool-mcp
uv run doctor.py

It tells you exactly which piece is broken and how to fix it. It never prints your cookie.

Your session expires eventually. The Skool login token lasts about a year. The AWS firewall token bundled with it lasts about 4 days, and that is the one that quietly kills your tools. Setup offers an optional background job that refreshes it for you. If you skip it, just re-run uv run connect_skool.py whenever the tools start failing.

Getting help

Run uv run doctor.py, then paste the output into Claude and ask it to fix what failed. The output is safe to share: it prints check results, cookie lengths, and expiry dates, never the cookie itself.

Still stuck? Post in the community with the doctor output. Do not post your .env.
