Turn on the Axis LMS connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

What you can do with Axis LMS in Claude and ChatGPT

For training managers who run courses, learning paths and certifications in Axis LMS.

See who is doing what in a course

The AI reads a course report: each user's status, progress, score, start and completion date, and lists the users enrolled with their access dates.

Find certifications that expire soon

The AI reads the certifications issued in a program with number, issue, renewed and expire dates, and the certifications one user holds.

Review a learner's courses, certifications and ILT

The AI finds a user and reads their transcript: course status, progress and score, certifications, instructor-led training and learning paths.

Enroll users in or remove them from courses and paths

The AI enrolls a user in an online course or learning path, or removes them. For a course it can set access start and end dates.

Changes data

Enroll or remove ILT users and record attendance

The AI checks the seats left in a session, enrolls a user (or removes them), and marks the user attended or absent for one meeting.

Changes data

Create users and groups, update users, add members

The AI creates a user, changes profile fields, creates a usergroup and adds users to it. Groups can drive course or path assignments.

How do I connect Axis LMS?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your LMS web address and Axis REST API key.

The address is the one your learners sign in at, for example https://training.yourcompany.com (https only). Create the key in your LMS admin area under System > Integrations > Axis REST API > Manage API Keys; the Axis REST API must be enabled for your system. The key can read and change users, enrollments and groups, so create one for this connection and delete it in the same place to disconnect. Your key is used only to call your LMS on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Axis LMS and this URL, then click Add:
    https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your LMS web address and Axis REST API key.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Axis LMS.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Axis LMS and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your LMS web address and Axis REST API key.
  4. In Plugins, install Axis LMS, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http axis-lms https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axis-lms": {
      "url": "https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "axis-lms": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add axis-lms --url https://axis-lms.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login axis-lms

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://axis-lms.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: the login page asks for your LMS web address and Axis REST API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this Axis LMS server only. Ask your AI to run axislms_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with axislms_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with axislms_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)axislms_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featureaxislms_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Axis LMS tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+axislms_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Axis LMS (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionaxislms_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Axis LMS Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run axislms_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Axis LMS in Claude or ChatGPT?

See who is doing what in a course. Find certifications that expire soon. Review a learner's courses, certifications and ILT. Enroll users in or remove them from courses and paths. Enroll or remove ILT users and record attendance. Create users and groups, update users, add members. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Axis LMS product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Axis LMS. The server calls the Axis LMS API with your own Axis LMS access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Axis LMS to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your LMS web address and Axis REST API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Axis LMS key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. 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: the login page asks for your LMS web address and Axis REST API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Axis LMS credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Axis LMS API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Axis LMS.

Can the AI change my Axis LMS data?

Yes, if you approve it. 12 of the 44 Axis LMS tools can create or change data. The other 32 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Axis LMS server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run axislms_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run axislms_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run axislms_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Axis LMS tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with axislms_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.

Need a tool this server does not have, or a connection to another system? We build custom integrations and MCP servers.
