What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external tools and data sources.
By connecting SessionLab via MCP, you allow AI tools to:
Search the facilitation library for activities that fit your session
Search the help centre for guidance
Create full sessions or add Days in existing sessions
Add or update blocks within an existing agenda
Search your workspace for sessions you've already built
Before you start
Make sure you have:
A SessionLab account and workspace
Access to Claude or ChatGPT with MCP connectors enabled
Permission to add connectors
Connect SessionLab to Claude
Claude currently provides one of the most seamless MCP experiences, especially via its connectors system. Here is how to do it:
Open Claude (web app)
Go to Settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Enter the following details:
Name: SessionLab
Click Add
Sign in to your SessionLab account when prompted
Configure permissions (auto-approve, ask each time, etc.)
Once connected, SessionLab becomes available as a tool inside Claude. You can now ask Claude things like:
“Create a workshop agenda for a 2-hour retrospective”
“Update my SessionLab template with a new icebreaker”
“Create a new Day in my session”
Claude will automatically use SessionLab data through MCP when relevant.
Connect SessionLab to ChatGPT
ChatGPT also supports MCP-style connectors, though setup may require enabling developer features. Here is how to do it:
Open ChatGPT
Go to Settings
Navigate to Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings
Enable Developer Mode (if not already enabled)
Click Create App / Connector
Enter:
Name: SessionLab
Server URL: https://app.sessionlab.com/mcp
Choose authentication method (typically OAuth)
Complete the login flow with SessionLab
Once connected, the SessionLab MCP server will be available to your GPTs or conversations. After setup, you can prompt ChatGPT with:
“Look for an ice-breaker for a 15-person workshop and add it to my session”
“Edit my session to include 1 more Break at 1.30pm”
“Look up how to change the categories in my session and suggest the ones I should use”
ChatGPT will call SessionLab tools automatically when needed.
