Client Admin
Setup (AI connectors)
Setup in the Admin sidebar is the page for connecting your organization's AI assistants to Stride. It is not the Admin setup guide, which prepares your organization for launch. This page needs Admin access.
MCP connectors
MCP lets an assistant use the Stride tools that a person authorizes. Turning on a provider in Stride does not connect a vendor account.
- Only Claude Code and Codex can connect to Stride today. Hosted Claude (Claude.ai) is planned and not yet enabled, and ChatGPT has no Stride client.
- Under the server URL, the page also shows vendor setup notes for the providers you turned on. They are each vendor's own notes for adding a custom connector in its hosted product. They are not a live connection to Stride, so do not use them to connect Stride today.
- Availability depends on your vendor plan, your workspace policy, and what Stride has verified for your environment.
- Open Setup and read MCP connectors.
- Copy the Stride MCP server URL shown for your environment. If no URL is shown, ask your Stride contact for it.
- To connect Claude Code or Codex, follow Connect Claude and other AI assistants. These are the assistants available today.
- Ask each member to connect their own Stride account and review the consent screen.
Skill packages
Skill packages are files you install in an assistant after you connect Stride. Each card names the assistant it is for. Install them only for an assistant you can connect today.
- The packages include the Stride connection skill, content creation skills for challenges, quests, resources, trainings, and microlearnings, and a Content Workbook reference.
- Content creation skills only prepare files. The files still go through the normal import and review process.
- Open Setup and find Skill packages.
- Choose Download skill package (.zip) or Download skill (.md) on the card for your assistant.
- Follow the upload or setup instructions the page gives for that assistant.
Where to learn more
The Setup page links to the guide Connect Claude and other AI assistants to Stride, and to Organization admin setup and consent. Manage AI Providers and Tools opens Settings.
Source and progress
Connector setup loads progress only after the account and organization source is authorized. A verified demo session uses its demo setup progress. Unavailable progress shows an error and retry action; it is not reported as completed setup.
