What the connector can do
The public connector exposes a curated set of Coachful tools. It does not expose every action available inside Coachful.
Private Brain
Search permitted Brain sources, capture notes, record learning, and organize private pages when the matching opt-in permissions are granted.
Clients
Review client details, plans, notes, tasks, and goals. With write access, create private notes and update assigned work.
Programs
Read program structure, weeks, modules, and performance dashboards.
Website
Read design context and work with versioned pages and sections. Changes to an enabled site may be visible immediately.
Funnels
Inspect funnels, create inactive general funnel drafts, add non-payment steps, and edit layouts. Adding a step to an active funnel may affect a public experience.
Connect Coachful
The directory connection handles setup automatically. No API key or copied access token is required.
- 1
Start from ChatGPT or Claude
Choose Coachful from the relevant app or connector directory.
- 2

Use your normal Coachful account. The AI provider never receives your Coachful password.
- 3

The consent screen lists the exact permissions requested. Brain and write access are separate opt-ins.
- 4
Ask for the work you need
The assistant can call only the public tools allowed by the permissions you granted.
- 5
Disconnect at any time
Revocation is immediate. Workspace membership is checked again on every request.
Manual or reviewer setup
Clients that support a custom remote MCP server can use this URL. OAuth discovery and client registration are automatic.
https://www.coachful.co/api/mcp/coachfulPermissions and approval
Coachful separates reading from writing. A tool call is checked against the selected workspace and granted scope every time.
Default read access
The normal connection starts with read-only business context.
- View clients, plans, notes, tasks, and goals
- View programs, modules, weeks, and dashboards
- View website pages, sections, versions, and design context
- View funnels and funnel-step configuration
- Refresh the connection without another sign-in
Optional access
These permissions are shown separately and should be approved only when needed.
- Read, capture, correct, or organize private Brain content
- Create client notes, tasks, and goals or update assigned work
- Create or edit website pages and sections
- Create funnel drafts, add non-payment steps, and edit layouts
Deliberate limits
The public connector is smaller than Coachful itself. The following capabilities remain unavailable:
Data handling
Only data from the workspace selected during consent is available. Results may include client and program information, private notes, website content, and funnel configuration when the relevant scope is granted.
Tool results are returned to the AI provider so it can complete your request. Coachful does not use this connector to proxy into your connected third-party apps.
Coachful does not expose a dedicated medical-record system. Coaches may still place health or wellness information in notes, goals, plans, or private Brain content, so workspace owners must grant access accordingly.
Access and refresh tokens are scoped and revocable. Disconnecting invalidates the connection, and losing workspace membership removes access.
Useful example prompts
Start with a read request. Approve additional permissions only when you are ready to make a change.
Troubleshooting
The authorization request expired
Return to ChatGPT or Claude and start the connection again. Do not reuse an old consent tab.
The wrong workspace is connected
Disconnect Coachful in the AI provider, reconnect, and select the correct workspace during consent.
A tool needs another permission
Review the new permission prompt. Approve it only if the requested action is expected, or continue with read-only access.
Currently in private directory review
Existing private MCP connections continue to work. The one-click connection opens to new users after platform approval.
