# Open Resource connector

Open Resource is a platform for building and managing education resources. The connector brings your AI assistant into your Open Resource account: you add it to Claude, ChatGPT, or any assistant that supports remote connectors, sign in once, and from then on your assistant can build, adapt and organise resources for you — working in your account, on your resources, as you direct it.

The connector is a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Your assistant does the reading and writing; Open Resource is where the work lands.

## How a session goes

1. **Add the connector to your assistant.** A one-time setup — see [Getting started](/mcp/docs/getting-started.md).
2. **Sign in and approve access.** The first time your assistant connects, Open Resource asks you to sign in and shows a consent screen describing what you are granting.
3. **Ask for what you need.** A new lesson, an assessment adapted from last term's folder, a library tidy-up — see [What your assistant can do](/mcp/docs/capabilities.md) and the [worked examples](/mcp/docs/examples.md).
4. **Open the link.** When the work is done, your assistant hands back a link that opens the resource in Open Resource.

## What to expect

**Work saves as it happens.** The assistant saves to your account continuously while it works — there is no final export step. You can open a resource before the assistant has finished; concurrent edits are merged, so you and your assistant can work in the same resource at the same time.

**Nothing is ever finished.** Resources in Open Resource are always editable. Whatever your assistant builds is a starting point you can keep shaping — in the app, or by asking the assistant to carry on.

**Deletion is soft.** Deleting a resource moves it somewhere it can be restored from inside the app, and "deleting" a folder archives it. An assistant tidying your library cannot destroy your work.

**It acts as you, and only you.** Every request runs against your own account under your own sign-in, and tool responses never carry your name, email address or identity. See [Security & privacy](/mcp/docs/security.md).

## These docs

- [Getting started](/mcp/docs/getting-started.md) — connecting from claude.ai or ChatGPT, and the sign-in flow
- [What your assistant can do](/mcp/docs/capabilities.md) — the tool surface in plain terms, with a full reference table
- [Worked examples](/mcp/docs/examples.md) — three realistic sessions, end to end
- [Troubleshooting](/mcp/docs/troubleshooting.md) — the handful of things that can interrupt a session
- [Security & privacy](/mcp/docs/security.md) — access, identity, rate limits and data handling

Every page is also served as plain Markdown at the same address with `.md` appended (this page is [/mcp/docs/index.md](/mcp/docs/index.md)), and [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) indexes them all — point an AI agent at either.
