Connect your AI assistant
For parents who use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. Connect once, and you can ask your assistant about your children’s practice in your own words. It takes a few minutes on a computer.
The address to paste
Name the connection Yep Education. When asked how to sign in, choose OAuth. You do not need a key, and you never type your Yep Edu password into a chat.
Before you start
- Sign in to Yep Edu with your parent account, and to your assistant, in the same browser on a computer.
- You choose what the assistant may read and change, and which children it may see. Start with reading only; you can connect again later with more.
- What the assistant reads is handled under its provider’s own policies.
1. Add Yep Edu to your assistant
ChatGPT
Plugins → Create custom MCP server
- Open Plugins, select +, then Create custom MCP server.
- Enter Yep Education and the address above. Choose a public URL connection and OAuth sign-in.
- Read the warning and create the plugin. When sign-in opens, approve access in Yep Edu (below).
- Open your personal plugins and install Yep Education with +.
- Start a new Work chat, type @, pick Yep Education and send the test message.
Depends on your account and workspace policy. If you cannot create one, ask your workspace admin about custom MCP servers. Source: OpenAI’s guide.
Claude
Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector
- Open Customize → Connectors.
- Select + Add → Add custom connector.
- Name it Yep Education, paste the address above and continue.
- Choose Sign in now. Leave custom headers and the OAuth client fields empty.
- Approve access in Yep Edu (below), then in a new chat open + → Connectors, turn on Yep Education and send the test message.
On Team and Enterprise plans an owner or admin adds the connector first; then each person connects their own account. Source: Claude’s help page.
Gemini
Settings → Connected Apps → Custom apps
- On gemini.google.com open Settings → Connected Apps (it may sit under Personal Intelligence).
- Under Custom apps, add a custom app and paste the address above.
- Select Next and sign in. Leave the advanced client fields empty: Yep Edu registers the app itself.
- Approve access in Yep Edu (below).
- In a chat, type @, pick the app and send the test message.

Grok
grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom
- Open grok.com/connectors.
- Select New Connector → Custom.
- Paste the address above and name it Yep Education if asked.
- Sign in and approve access in Yep Edu (below).
- Start a new conversation and ask Grok to use Yep Education with the test message.

2. Approve access in Yep Edu
The same for every assistant.
- The assistant opens a Yep Edu page. Check the address bar says edu.yepgent.com, and sign in if asked.
- On Connect an app to your family?, look at Access will be sent to. Approve only a connection you just started, going somewhere you recognise. The app’s name on its own proves nothing.
- Under It may, reading is always on. Leave the rest unticked for your first try.
- Under For these children, pick who the assistant may see. All my children, including any I add later also covers children you add in future.
- Select Allow, go back to the assistant, and finish any step it still shows.
Choose Cancel if anything looks wrong. To change the children or permissions later, revoke the connection and connect again.
3. Check that it works
With Yep Education turned on in the chat, send:
It worked if the assistant calls a Yep Edu tool and names the children you approved. An answer made up from the conversation so far does not count. Then try asking what one of them should practise next.
Review or disconnect
In Yep Edu, open Settings → Apps. Under Remotes you can see each connection, what it may do and when it last used it. Select Revoke, then Confirm revoke, to end its access, and remove the connector in your assistant too. Revoking stops new access; it cannot take back what the assistant already read.
If something gets stuck
- No custom connector or custom app option
- Your plan or workspace may not allow one. Check the provider’s page linked in its card above.
- The address is rejected, or connecting fails
- Paste exactly
https://edu.yepgent.com/mcp, with/mcpon the end, and try again in a browser. - Sign-in keeps looping, or a callback error
- Sign in to Yep Edu in the same browser first, allow the sign-in pop-up, and try again. If it keeps happening, send us the error text and which assistant you use. Never send a password or token.
- No family, or you cannot approve
- Use your parent account. A child’s login cannot connect apps.
- Allow is greyed out
- Pick at least one child, or tick the box for all your children.
- The assistant answers without using Yep Edu
- Start a new chat, turn the connector on for it, and ask it by name to use Yep Education.
- It cannot make or assign a worksheet
- The connection is probably reading only. Revoke it and connect again with that permission ticked.
- It worked before and has stopped
- Look in Settings, under Apps, to see whether it lapsed or was revoked, and connect again.
The assistant steps were checked against each provider’s own help pages on October 5, 2026. We have not connected an account on every provider, and their menus change, so their pages have the final word. Stuck or spotted a change? edu@yepgent.com
