Claude Connector (MCP)
In short: add one URL to Claude Cowork, sign in once, and then build quizzes, manage students, create share links and read results just by asking — no API key, and it never spends your Quizzz AI credits.
Connect Claude directly to your Quizzz account and manage your teaching content with natural language — "list my quizzes", "make a 10-question quiz about the water cycle and give me a share link", "who hasn't finished the midterm yet?".
The connector is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so it is not tied to one AI agent. Quizzz publishes the standard MCP OAuth discovery documents, which means ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or any other MCP-capable client can connect to the same /api/mcp endpoint with the same one-click sign-in.
This guide walks through Claude Cowork because it needs no developer setup and is the easiest route for teachers; the steps for any other MCP client are the same — add the URL, sign in once. You stay in control and approve access once, up front.

Add the connector
Open Claude Cowork (or the Claude desktop / web app at claude.ai) and go to Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Paste the connector URL:
https://quizzz.techtranslab.com/api/mcpClaude opens a Quizzz sign-in page. Sign in with your teacher account, review what Claude will be allowed to do, and click Allow.
That's it — no API key to copy. Claude is now connected to your account.
One account, one connection
The connector acts as you. Everything Claude does is scoped to your own account — it can never see or touch another teacher's data.
What Claude can do
After connecting, you can ask Claude to do any of the following in plain language. Each maps to a tool the connector exposes.
Quizzes
- List your quizzes, or read the full questions/answers of one.
- Create a multiple-choice quiz (Claude writes the questions, the connector saves them — up to 100 questions per quiz).
- Update a quiz (replace its questions) or delete one.
Students
- List your roster, add a student (name + email — duplicates by email are reused, never doubled), or remove one.
Assignments & share links
- Create an assignment from a quiz and get a shareable exam link:
- public — one link anyone can use, and
- per-student — one link for each student you choose.
- Update the link (change its custom slug), list your assignments, or delete one.
Collections
- Bundle several quizzes into one Collection (each tagged easy / medium / hard) and get a shareable link, list your collections, read one, or update it (title, items, difficulty, or slug).
Results
- Get results — completed exams with student, quiz, and score.
Example prompts
List my 5 most recent quizzes.
Create a quiz titled "Photosynthesis Basics" with 8 multiple-choice
questions, then give me a public share link for it.
Add a student named Mei Lin ([email protected]) and assign her the
"Photosynthesis Basics" quiz — send me her personal link.
Show me the results for my latest assignment, sorted by score.Permissions
When you connect, Claude requests access to:
- Read your quizzes (list and view full content)
- Create, edit, and delete quizzes
- Add students to your roster and view your student list
- Create, update, and delete exam assignments and their share links
- View exam results and student scores
You grant all of these in a single Allow. You can disconnect at any time from Settings → Connectors in Claude.
Notes
- The connector is for teacher accounts. If you sign in with a student-only account, the teacher tools are unavailable (a student connector surface is coming).
- It does not generate quizzes with Quizzz's own AI (and so never spends credits) — Claude writes the questions itself and the connector validates and saves them.
- Prefer programmatic, server-to-server access instead? Use the REST API with an
Authorization: Bearer qz_…key.
