academyocean_list_learners academyocean_learner_certificates

Before you connect

The login page asks for your AcademyOcean Client ID and AcademyOcean Client Secret.

In AcademyOcean, open Settings → API, click Register a new OAuth application, then copy the Client ID and Client Secret. The API needs a plan with API access.

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 AcademyOcean Client ID and AcademyOcean Client Secret. 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.

Example prompts

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

academyocean_request_featuremeta
Request a missing feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the AcademyOcean tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter).

Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); 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). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
academyocean_cancel_subscriptionmeta
Cancel the Pro subscription
Cancel the caller's AcademyOcean 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 academyocean_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with AcademyOcean in Claude or ChatGPT?

Find learners who never opened a lesson. Track where learners stop in a course. Review every learner's progress in one course. Check quiz results and high scores. Look up one learner's certificates. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official AcademyOcean product?

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

Can I connect AcademyOcean 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 AcademyOcean Client ID and AcademyOcean Client Secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my AcademyOcean 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 AcademyOcean Client ID and AcademyOcean Client Secret. 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 AcademyOcean credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the AcademyOcean 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 AcademyOcean.

Can the AI change my AcademyOcean data?

All 17 AcademyOcean tools are marked read-only.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this AcademyOcean server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run academyocean_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run academyocean_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run academyocean_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a AcademyOcean tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with academyocean_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.
