usefulapiLessonspace MCP server
Read Lessonspace sessions, recordings, transcripts, spaces and users; launch spaces, edit sessions. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
What can I ask?
Turn on the Lessonspace connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
- Which sessions were held in our classroom spaces this week?
- Show me the participants who joined yesterday's session.
- Is the recording of my last session ready to watch?
- List all the teachers and students in my organisation.
What you can do with Lessonspace in Claude and ChatGPT
For tutors and online schools who teach in virtual classrooms with Lessonspace.
See which sessions were held and who joined
The AI lists sessions with start and end time, space, participants, guests and billable seconds, filtered by time, duration, participant or space.
Check if a recording or transcript is ready
The AI gets the playback URL of a session recording and says if it is ready, still preparing or not recorded. It also gets a transcript download URL.
Review a space's join and leave log
The AI lists the sessions held in one space with who joined, left or went idle and when, and the users connected now.
List teachers and students of your organisation
The AI lists users with role (teacher, student or admin), active state and external id.
Launch spaces, rename sessions or set recording access
The AI creates a space, or reuses one, and returns a join link for one participant. It can rename a session and set who may watch its recording.
Changes dataHow do I connect Lessonspace?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Lessonspace organisation API key.
Create it in Lessonspace → Settings → Developer (owner or Developer role, two-factor sign-in required). Lessonspace shows the key once, so copy it right away. The key acts for your whole organisation, so use a key made for this connection and delete it in Lessonspace to disconnect. Your key is used only to call the Lessonspace API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"lessonspace": {
"url": "https://lessonspace.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"lessonspace": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://lessonspace.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
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.
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 Lessonspace organisation 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.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper API key | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API key | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Lessonspace server only. Ask your AI to run lessonspace_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 lessonspace_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 lessonspace_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

- List sessions
lessonspace_list_sessionsList the organisation's sessions (a session is one meeting held in a space): name, uuid, start/end time, space, participants (name, email, role), guests, billable seconds, tags, summary and recording state. Filter by time, duration, participant, space, launch id or tags. Newest first as Lessonspace orders them. Each session's playback_url is an access link to its recording, and participant emails are personal data: treat both as sensitive and share them only with someone entitled to see them. - Get session
lessonspace_get_sessionOne session by uuid, with its space, participants, guests, tags, summary and recording state. - Get session recording URL
lessonspace_get_session_recordingThe playback URL of a session's recording. status 'ready' = the URL works now; 'preparing' = Lessonspace is still creating it (ask again in a minute); 'no_recording' = recording was disabled, so none exists. The URL is an access link: give it only to someone entitled to watch the recording. - Get session transcript URL
lessonspace_get_session_transcriptA signed download URL for a session's transcript. Only works if transcription was switched on for the session (launch with transcribe=true). The URL is an access link: give it only to someone entitled to read the transcript. - List spaces
lessonspace_list_spacesList the organisation's spaces (persistent rooms): id, name, slug, alias, url, tags, lock state, region and recording/transcription settings. The url of a space is a way in; treat it as sensitive. - List sessions of a space
lessonspace_list_space_sessionsSessions held in one space, with the join/leave log (who joined, left or went idle, and when) and the users connected now. Same filters as lessonspace_list_sessions. - List users
lessonspace_list_usersList the organisation's users: Lessonspace user id, name, email, role (teacher, student, admin), active state and external id. Names and emails are personal data.

- Rename session / set recording access
lessonspace_update_sessionWRITE: rename a session and optionally set who may watch its recording (a list of participant, admin, teacher, student; an empty list falls back to the organisation policy). The name is always sent (Lessonspace requires it). - Launch a space (create a join link)
lessonspace_launch_spaceWRITE: create a space, or reuse the one with the same `id`, and get a join link (client_url) for one participant. The link is a live credential for a real person: share it only with that person and never post it elsewhere. Calling again with the same id reuses the space but issues a new link; it is not safe to repeat blindly. Lessonspace's own `secret` is never returned.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
lessonspace_usage_statusReport 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 feature
lessonspace_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Lessonspace 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+
lessonspace_upgradeGet a paid plan for Lessonspace (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: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. 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 subscription
lessonspace_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Lessonspace 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 lessonspace_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Lessonspace in Claude or ChatGPT?
See which sessions were held and who joined. Check if a recording or transcript is ready. Review a space's join and leave log. List teachers and students of your organisation. Launch spaces, rename sessions or set recording access. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Lessonspace product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lessonspace. The server calls the Lessonspace API with your own Lessonspace access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Lessonspace 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 Lessonspace organisation API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Lessonspace 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 Lessonspace organisation 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 Lessonspace credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Lessonspace 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 Lessonspace.
Can the AI change my Lessonspace data?
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 9 Lessonspace tools can create or change data. The other 7 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 Lessonspace server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run lessonspace_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run lessonspace_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 lessonspace_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Lessonspace tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with lessonspace_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.
